Just Received the Staedtler Historic Pencil Making Kit

Thanks to Stephen from Pencil Talk and the awesome Staedtler Team, I got another special pencil tin to celebrate the 175th anniversary of one of my favorite art supplies brands.
View of the bottom of the tin that would naturally make a nice pencil storage case or roomy portable sketching kit.
Kit contents for making a slender carpenter pencil: two wooden slats, rectangular graphite lead, string, and glue bottle. The included easy-to-follow assembly instructions consist solely of pictures. Perhaps I will keep this commemorative set in its original disassembled state to use as a visual aid of how a pencil is made in my drawing classes.

I am actually quite happy that they chose to go this sturdier route rather than an actual wax seal that I would probably have crushed when trying to assemble this pencil. Though I think I'll wait until I can get a small clamp to join the slats tightly together, for I do not trust my cord tying skills to do the job neatly. Thanks again Staedtler team for this fine addition to my graphite collection.
