Hey Kenny -I'm finally back among the living.  I finished helping with the first round of remodel on my daughter's 1940's house just in time for my boss to "suggest" that I get my PMP certification.  4 months and virtually every spare minute of time later, I'm finally done with it.  Took the test yesterday and passed.

I really enjoy using the Kiridashis for marking - plus they're just darn sexy.  I've made a couple prototype handles for the Studley, but none have quite been up to spec so I'm still refining the look.  It has to be just right.   As for the pencil, well I've run it out of lead a couple of times.   It's nice and heavy as well as being easy to use since it isn't too thin.  Yep - awesome stuff that looks great and is functional as well.  Just like me.....
