Shop Lee Valley Slim Pencil Hardware

With this well-made hardware, you can create an attractive, durable pencil. High-quality platings yield a crisply detailed, uniform surface and a precise fit between parts, combining ease of assembly with trouble-free function.

A matching pencil to the slim ballpoint pen, it uses heavy 0.7mm leads propelled by a sturdy, jam-free “click” mechanism. The gold finish includes small amounts of cobalt and palladium for abrasion resistance.

Requires a 7mm drill bit. The minimum blank size is 1/2″ × 4 1/4″. Drill bits, blanks, bushings and mandrels sold separately.

Because mishaps can occur during turning or assembly, we offer brass replacement tubes.

We also offer a starter set that consists of two pencil kits in a gold finish, bushings and the required drill bit.
