  • Description
    One of the first projects I did was to engrave a few pencils. It's pretty easy once you figure out the measurements, and you can rest the pencil along the top edge for alignment. But that only works reliably for flat-sided pencils, and engraving multiple pencils gets tedious quickly. So I decided to make my first jig. You can use this jig to engrave up to 24 pencils at once, either right- or left-handed. Thanks to my partner for pointing out that the first batch of pencils I made were "backwards" (I'm a lefty and expected to read the text from the top down).
