Comment on How I create static websites for tiny archives.

Looks like a Faber-Castell.

If you like mechanical pencils there are some really nice ones made in a factory in Birmingham, UK called Yard-O-Led, they’re bit pricey though as they are made of Stirling silver…

Did you discover them from this video? youtu.be/srixb98N6Tk

I had never heard of them until yesterday when I watched his video.

The nicest pencil I own is probably my Rotring 800 (second nicest is probably my two graphgear 1000) but I so want a Yard-O-Led pencil.

  Yeah, I’ve watched that video, it was fascinating. I also used to live and work in the Birmingham jewellery quarter and walked by the factory a few times. We’ve also got a pen museum too.
  
  I want one too, they’re so nice.
  
  (I like how this thread about static websites turned into a conversation about pencils 🤣)

Yeah, I know YoL, but a bit pricey.
