Is a pencil sharpener a ww machine, sure it is! I think many of us use a pencil from time to time, do most of you have that all important ww shop tool, a pencil sharpener handy in your shop? I could use another one in my 2 story shop so I don't have to run the stairs when I want to dress the point. I'm feeling a little foolish not wanting to spring for a $15.00 Boston pencil sharpener after finding one for nearly $7,000. at that popular auction site on the web. I don't think I can post a direct link to this 1887 original Dixon (wood working tool) still in the box but if you like old iron you might be interested in item #6566055576. My search goes on.
