Custom Pencil Sharpening Business

I hope I don't catch flak for this but.... sounds like a waste of money to me. Maybe I just don't get it.

I'm beginning to appreciate quality over quantity. I've been getting grass-fed milk delivered in glass bottles, and it is SO good! It's more expensive but the money goes to local farmers and the product is better.

There's a difference between paying for a brand and paying for quality.

Yeah, I don't think I'd pay money for that. My Dad for the most part always sharpened his pencils with his pocket knife. It was quicker and easier than trying to find a sharpener when you needed one plus he always carried a pocket knife, and a sharp one at that. Sharpening a pencil by hand was always helpful for him since he was a sign painter and that way he could get a broad pencil stroke or fine line right then and there.

He's mocking you, as he does with Get Your War On.

Yeah, umm... to expound on what FredB said, this is really just an elaborate art piece. think of it as a commentary about the ludicrous things that some people will spend money on.

This isn't serious, right? C'mon. I can understand paying more for something like, say, grass-fed milk in glass bottles, since I can't do that myself. But sharpen a pencil? What kind of gits does this guy think we are? : )

I use mechanical pencils.

Hmmm, tough choice. Should I burn my money or spend it on a pencil sharpening service?

@Muzition Then for 10 bucks he will click the lead out.

perhaps he is searching for the invisible boundary at which point no one will pay for a service

As I understand it from his site, he uses a mechanical pencil sharpener much of the time.

I learned to sharpen pencils from my great-uncle, a man who was perhaps the epitome of a steam-punk hero, he lived in a house with no electricity, he grew his own foods, kept chickens and a cow, repaired his grandfather clock with an escapement wheel he cut with scissors out of the bottom of a bean-can, and spent his working days as a draughtsman, drawing details of the wing-roots, and weapons fitments of supersonic aircraft.
He sharpened his pencils with an ancient, bone-handled clasp knife,which he kept scalpel-sharp, and refined the edge by honing it on a pad of "flour-paper".

That's artisanal pencil sharpening.

Real men sharpen their own.

Agreed; loved the political 'toons, even bought a couple of the books!

And he still gets the last laugh, as there are probably idiots who will actually spend money on this "service."
