What's the best way to sharpen a carpenters pencil?



Why can't he sharpen his own pencil?


with a carpenter knife


a Razor knife


Use a utility knife. Makes the pencil nice and sharp!


With a Stanley knife. (I think they're called box cutters in America).


Sharp knife.


belt sander or disk sander


any knife or sandpaper you have handy.


With a sharp pen knife. If you need a sharp sharp tip, file it to a fine point on the sidewalk or with a file...or use a #2 pencil instead!

(ps many things can be sharpened on the sidewalk or a rock in a pinch....)


Home Depot sells a nifty sharpener for about a $1. Is quick and easy to use.


Home Depot has a handy dandy contractors pencil sharpener, it's orange...about 2.00, but if you can hold on to it...it works wonders........otherwise use your utility knife.


utility knife works better than the funny looking sharpener that comes in a Home Depot pro pack


I find that a nicely sharpened pocketknife works just fine.


Utility knife!! ?:)z


There such a pencil sharpener that fits the shape of the carpenters pencil. When you buuy a package of these pencils usually you also receive a sharpener inside the package. However, the best way is still the utility knife.


My late husband who was a contractor, simply used to carve it with his pocket knife. I do know, however, he only did this when he could not find the sharpener sold at most hardware stores, specifically for this pencil. Try a hardware store, contractors warehouse.....................they sell a specific hand held sharpener for this.


If there is a best way to do it...what's the wrong way to sharpen a carpenters pencil?

What is the purpose of a carpenter's pencil?

Why must carpenters use rectangular pencils with no eraser? I mean what's the purpose? How?


The pencils are designed to be able to mark wood either with a fine line or a broad one, to not roll, and don't need erasers because you can't really erase marks on wood.

How to sharpen my carpenter's pencil?

I have a carpenter's pencil, actually 2, and I tried sharpening one with a knife, and then a vegetable peeler, and I cut my thumb, so is there any other way that you know of? Thanks


Home Depot or Lowes carry a very inexpensive carpenter pencil sharpener. I have always used a utility knife. Just make certain you stroke the blade away from you.

looking for coloring book pictures of carpenters tools?

i am decorating my grandsons bedroom, i am looking for pictures of carpenters tools like hammers, pliers, pencils, nails, whatever,,,,like coloring book pictures that i can enlarge and and color and maybe laminate or something to decorate the upper part of the wall.............any ideas?


You may find what you're looking for on some of these sites: http://www.smilelikeumeanit.com/stock.html

Good Luck, He'll love it.

carpenters pencils are flat or square why?



So they won't roll away when you set them down on the work station or job. Obviously they should not be placed on a project that's going into a planner or a table saw!
