I'm gonna show my age here, but I have a fully functional original
still in one piece, mounted to a post next to my work bench.
Spent 19 years on one support post, 12 on another,
and the last 23 years in my current garage.
Still being used, still puts a clean point on my pencils.
Pencils and woodworking go together.

Giant, circa 1955

It’s a forum not a college paper you twat😂

I know what it is I just don’t care. I live with a person with multiple masters degrees one being language arts(or however that works…never asked 😁)amongst other things. I’m not watching how I say shit on here too.

At home though…

Does this guy you "live with", the person with the special degrees and shit, agree with the mentioned grammatical errors or not?

Regrettably, I left a fine specimen screwed to the wall of the shop I sold with my house. It would not actually point a pencil and I found that to be perfect. It left about a 1/32" cylinder face on a about a 1/16" cylinder. Otherwise, it was a smooth taper. I always considered it an engineering marvel and had owned it from a yard sale in 1980 for the exorbitant price of 25 cents. I most definitely didn't leave it behind on purpose. That one was an APSCO.

I am looking for a replacement.

Not hard to find.

I still have one of these, just like I used in grade school (I guess the Boston Co. was bought out by X-Acto).

But it sharpens like nobody's business!

Okay, just this one more picture of a boring old pencil sharpener…I mean supercharger blower. This one is in my not climate controlled garage. I had to clean it up before attempting a picture.

Like @justin amateur , I use it all the time. I’m guessing similar vintage based upon design of the base.
