Old Tools

Did some cleaning in my studio today on and around my drawing board, which doesn’t get much use these days. I reorganized a drawer and some containers to put like things together. Here are some lettering tools that I will probably never use again, but I’m keeping them just in case. Speedball nibs and pen holders, and technical drawing pens, all but one my favorite Castell TG-1. I have newer tech pens, these are the “retired” ones kept for parts, the points are probably all shot. The nibs are a mix of ones I used and probably some I never even tried.

Lots of other things reorganized: brushes, pencils, markers, and so on. Here are lettering tools at the top, extra pencils, X-Acto blades, ballpoint pens, regular markers, calligraphy markers and pencil leads (they go in a lead holder, which I like for drawing).

I even found the cover for an outlet in the floor I used to use for my drawing table lamp. I haven’t used it in years, and now I can finally put the cover on it again. I knew it was in there somewhere…
