My Mechanical Pencil Collection is Out of Control

So far in 2026, I have gone deep into the mechanical pencil and lead holder rabbit hole. In this video I walk through the state of the collection of the various .5mm, .7mm, and 2mm lead holders as well as the various accessories of sharpeners, replacement leads and erasers. I also show how I am storing all of these in one of the Harbor Freight mini toolboxes.

Follow along as I attempt to use fountain pen inks and water brushes to do some painting in the Dominant Industries Atlantis ink archiving book. Come join in and see if I make art, make a mess or potentially a little bit of both.
