Default Looking for mechanical pencil
...hand turned, .5mm lead. If anyone could point me in any direction, I would appreciate it. I'm coming up empty on all internet and eBay searches.

Thanks!

I thought I was in the "Off Topic" forum, sorry about that. I would delete and move, but we can't delete our own posts on this forum.

I'm not sure how you meant that, Hi Ho, but I don't think Walmart has hand-turned pencils.

Let me clarify...

I am looking for a mechanical pencil made by a woodcrafter...much like a hand-turned pen.

Try searching on wood pens, and you might find a pen maker who also makes mechanical pencils.

Here's one I found with Google.

Hello Michelle I think either me or my younger brother could easily make you one. GO to my Etsy store to see some of my pens, my brother might even have some 5mm slimline ones made.
