    Recently, in a effort to create a wooden Palisade fort and after a couple of ideas that didn´t really work, I came up with this method.
    Simply cut old pencils to the desired length, re-model the Surface with a pair of pliers, which works fine on all different types of pencils, round, 6 sided, even 3 sided and stick them together with PVA.

    After one attempt with sticking them whilst layed on a flat Surface led to a slightly slanted result I came up with a holder...an old Cassette case.
    The pliers have serrations which marks the pencils Surface with a sort of bark type pattern simply by squeezing. Don´t squeeze too hard as some pencils are a bit brittle but don´t be too soft either.

    2B or not 2B? That is the question.* No, they can all be used, HB, 2HB, 3B,,,all of em.

    Ok, I´m going to have to aquire a lot of old pencils to create what I have in mind but I discovered the lot above after a quick rummage through cupboards and drawers..
    Also, DIY Shops and a certain Furniture shop whose Name begins with I and ends with A give pencils away for free.
    Ok..I´m not going to run off with the whole box on offer but one or two might end up as palisades after a visit. I mean, you put one in your pocket and then Forget which pocket so it´s easier just to take another and then Forget where that one went and so on...or?

    *I know, Not that great a gag but it´s bloody hot here :)

    Just heard some very sad News.
