What do you do with an old copier? You scavenge metal rods from it and turn ’em into sweet drawing pencils, of course! The ones pictured above were made by one Bradley Lewis for a co-worker. Check out his site (link below) for numerous photos of the process.
By the way, we stumbled across this on our friend Mister Jalopy’s new site project Dinosaurs and Robots. As usual, he brings an entertaining mix of art, DIY, and the unusual. Give it a look if you get a chance, and don’t forget to weigh in on his mystery tools!

Wow. Those are really nice! I’m jealous of your skills.
Nice pencils, but where are the “mystery tools?” I’m not seeing any mystery…
Thanks a bunch guys!
Mystery tools? Dunno what that is, but hey, maybe that’s the mystery!
