CARPENTERS
PENCIL
Another
instant research of a topic being under discussion at the 8 am
Arby's
coffee group while at a special Wednesday morning breakfast get
together
at the Ocean Point Grill in Villages of Five Points at Wescoats
Corner's.
According
to Sehon Warneke in the “ Home Owners' Helper “ article
titled
“Penciled In” the flat pencils are usually seen behind a
carpenters
ear
and the special long flat rectangular shape prevents them from
rolling
off
the table. They are easy to hold and the beefy lead points are
less prone to breakage and they do fit well behind an ear.
A
carpenters pencil can be used as a compass to scribe small gaps.
Placed
flat
against a vertical surface this pencil will mark a line 1/8”
from
the
surface and it has a thinner side and a thicker side. In a jam it
can also
be
used as a shim if needed.
Tip.
Always carry two carpenters pencils to avoid the need to
retrieve
a
dropped one from the top of the ladder.
Sehon
is with the Warneke's , Lake Hardware & Lumber Company,
117
Oyster Creek Drive, Clute, Texas, a bit south of Galvaston and
just
east of Lake Jackson of the Texas Gulf of Mexico coast.
