Boston Pencil Sharpener (WIP)
-
This cool retro pencil sharpner is on my desk so i wanted to see if i could model it quickly. It took about 45mins total. I'm not sure if that's quick or not, but it's fun to model things other than architecture...
Below are some progression images.

Gotta chuckle--- If that's "Retro" what-the-heck is this hand-cranked pencil-eater of mine classified as?
(Just kidding- that is a nice model)

Okay- you may not believe this, but there's a little generator in there, and you give that little crank about 600 spins (really fast), you can sharpen about a dozen pencils and make a cup of pasta.
This doesn't work every time

You guys are just nuts! (I love this place %-D).

Wait a second... Reg i thought pasta was grown in the field and picked after the first rain cause that's when it curled?
