Hello everyone.

I thought I'd tell you all about the Kickstarter project Chambers Pencils have set up. They are one of only two small pencil manufacturers left in the UK, and they are looking for money to get tooling that would enable them to use the wood from pallets to make their pencils. Their goal is £60,000. I have contributed £10. If they raise enough capital, I'll get a packet of pencils!

I have no commercial connection to this company, but they are a long established family business close to where I live, and thought it might be interesting to some of you.

Here's the link to the project:
