Woodworking Pencil Review: Ticonderoga - My First Tri-Write Pencil
David MunkittrickDescription
In woodworking, there are pencils and then there are your favorite pencils. Dave Munkittrick describes why the Ticonderoga My First Tri-Write pencil is his favorite woodworking pencil. Although designed for children, it makes a great woodworking pencil. It has three sides so it doesn’t roll off your bench, a thicker and stronger lead and it can be sharpened to a fine tip.
What do you got Dave? Show and tell. I got a pencil. Your favorite pencil. My favorite pencil. Why is it your favorite pencil? Well, actually it was my granddaughter, Andrea who first turned me onto these pencils, cause she uses them at school and it may be hard to see, but these are actually triangular shaped, which is nice, cause they won't roll off your bench. So that's good, so what is it? So it's, they're really a pencil, My First Tri-Write. Yep. So it's a pencil that's really designed for little kids to use and your band being a little kid. Sorry buddy, but-- But they are great woodworking pencils. Because? Well, the triangular shape for one, it'll stay put on your bench. For two, they're a little bit heavier and thicker and so is the lead, so it's not... If you're writing on wood, I mean your lead just goes like that. This lasts quite a bit longer. Is this your marking out pencil for layout lines, for precise layout lines? Yes, because you can sharpen this down to a very tight point, and you can always take sandpaper and put a chisel point, anything you want on here. And I think it's something that's easy for woodworkers to miss, as there a pencils and there are pencils. Yes. And you don't wanna skimp on pencils. And one of the things I've found is, if you take a pencil and you start flexing it a little bit, and of course any pencil will break, but with just a little bit of pressure, if it bows like a piece of rubber, don't even bother with that for woodworking. Cause, everything about it is so soft that the lead's not gonna hold up. And those are usually those composite. They use a composite wood, almost like a MDF for the... Yeah, yeah. But this is actual, real wood and a real graphite and lead. So, good, hard graphite that'll hold up. You can get a good keen edge on it, and it doesn't roll off your bench. Any other attributes of that? Where do people at home find 'em? Well, I got these online, and they're very inexpensive, so-- Just buy them by the box and you can give them away to all your woodworking friends like you did today, when you got here for me. That's right. All right, cool.
Feature a likely get out of technique. Most traders prefer to keep with your corporation for the long term, in addition they realise that nothing is guaranteed.
In the true world, it seems, tax strategy extra usually takes priority over business strategy.
Be careful when purchasing. There are Tri Write pencils that are not My First Tri Write pencils. The regular ones are smaller.
