I have been working on the old barn off and on,I have an open wooden tool box I built years ago,just a handy size to carry around while doing projects . I take what I think I might need out of my little shop in the old chicken house and put it in the box. Since I have been working on the barn,I have stuff everywhere . Today I couldnt find a pencil.I stopped what I was doing and dumped out the tool box. Many Pencils,,and three of everything,,no wonder I couldnt find anything.Even though I am not done working on the barn,I put everything back whee it belongs,and start over.It feels much better!

ready to start over. The shop is right near all the buildings Im working on,not a problem to walk and get something,but the wood tray toolbox is handy.
 
Larry,
I make repairs at many different locations.
My solution is 3 large tool boxes on my work
truck. I have everything in truck to make
repairs, including carpenters pencils.

Those darn carpenter pencils, I marked a board three different times and it just kept getting shorter. I need to find better carpenter pencils that will mark things correctly. lol gobble
 
Tom,
Sounds to me like it's a problem with your tape measure or you may need glasses, not the pencil.

Next to my pencil boxes I have sharpies of different. They come in handy. I write on oil filters when I changed the oil. Write on all mowers the size of socket I need to remove blade. Write on engine how much oil is needed when I change it. Write belt sizes too.

I have about 50 carpenter pencils, some in truck, some in workshop and some in pole barn. I find using a bench grinder makes a nice point on pencils. I wait for a while and then sharpen all at once.

Got a good chuckle. When I troll through the local flea market I take
a look now and then at the tool tables. Want to guess how many 3/8
7/16 and 1/2 9/16 open ends I have? NOW how many times do you think I
can't find one? I buy a other at the flea market and now I can find
six of them where they are all having a party in the back room!
