Love my pencil and looking forward to the pen!

Brian,
Not sure if you're still reading these comments, but hearing that you're considering a click pen is GREAT news!!!

Creator JOHN C HENE on January 15

I stopped the automatic email. Still I love to look at all the design or tech items. I back these projects because I enjoy getting the results. In your case Brian, I would like to be kept informed when ever you have a new project. I love the pencil and I love magnets.

Creator Rob Lees on January 10

Not sure how many people still check back here, but I just came across a new project that Brian has started up, and since I know it isnt his style to self promost, I figured I'd put the info up here for anyone interested in supporting him again.

Got my pencils a few days ago and i must say these are some nice looking pens, the slight protusion of the grip in front really helps with establishing my grip, great design choice there imo.

Creator Max Jensen on November 8, 2012

Got my pencils a few days ago! Very nice! Very happy with them! Thanks again Brian!

Creator Rob Lees on November 7, 2012

Brian,

Forgot to thank you for the inclusion of the sunglass strap/retainer. Nice to finally have one from silicone, and definately alot nicer than others I've used before. It's sure to get a workout over the summer months here, and will hopefully fare better than others I've used.
If anyone else is a user of sunglass/eyewear straps (or retainer as the website calls them), check out www.cudaz.com, or hit Brian up about purchasing a set (or 10).

Thanks again Brian,

Rob

Hi Brian,
Arrived here in AU yesterday. They look, feel & work great. I know I will get many years of use.
Thanks for producing an excellent product.
I hope the experience inspires you to do more.
Steve...

Creator mitch cohen on November 7, 2012

finally they have arrived! thank you brian for running such a good ks project and coming through with a fantastic product! looking forward to your future vision and projects! thanks again.

Creator Wolf Wolfinger on November 5, 2012

Hi Brian,

wow - I'm really excted about the look and feel of the brass one! Thanks so much for making that happen! It's perfectly balanced and I really love it. After your stopper project you definitely need to start a pen project as my beloved Rotring 600 in silver is looking sooo bad (even it's the perfect pen to me) next to the brass Spoke pencil! ;-))

Thanks also for the "raw" silver pencil, like it very much and think about doing a personal finish!

All the best
Wolf

Creator Andres Najera on November 4, 2012

This is so far my favorite project out of all the ones I backed. The pencils are amazing!!! Thanks for the extra goodies as well! My silver dock doesn't seem to hold the pencil as tight as my black one though. Not a big deal really, since its in my hands most of the time. =) I have no need for a stopper, but I'm definitely backing. Have to add it to my SPOKE collection.

Creator Az Nm on November 1, 2012

Hi Brian, good job can you please send me the mailing tracking number ?
thanks

Creator Janardan Nathan on November 1, 2012

Hi Brian!
I have received my Spoke Pencil today =)
And to my utmost surprise, I found a note pad, a pencil cap, a sticker, pentel lead and a DOCK!!
I had not upped my pledge to include a dock actually. I'm very touched (and pleased) that you have generously added it to my package.

The Spoke Pencil came preloaded with 6 leads in it (The pencils I buy from book shops come empty).
My choice was Black, 0.5mm and the Black was matte and elegant.
The dock was nicely weighted and works well without any adhesive,
The pencil sits and balances well on the dock too!
My only regret is that I had not ordered the 10 pack. I would have liked to gift it to my friends and family =)
Proud owner of a SPOKE Mechanical Pencil :)

Creator Ivan Yagolnikov on October 31, 2012

Wait a sec, did KS put a hold on your new project because you were still fulfilling this one? Is that a new rule -- you have to be done with a project before starting another one?

Creator Rob Lees on October 31, 2012

As soon as I finish it, I'll be sure to shoot you a pic Brian. :)

Creator Rob Lees on October 30, 2012

I have a complaint. There's no "Warning, finishing your Spoke pencil is highly addictive, proceed with caution'
Other than this dangerous oversight, the pencils are awesome :)

Creator Justin S on October 30, 2012

Brian, astounding job on the pencils. I absolutely love them and can really appreciate the design and the manufacturing process (as we discussed much earlier). Excellent job keeping the backers informed all the way throughout the production. Words simply cannot justify how great of a job you did on this project. I look forward to your upcoming projects and will definitely back you again.

Creator Rob Lees on October 29, 2012

And just like that, all the waiting and wishing is over, and you are left with two amazing pencils to sit and ponder at. Was well and truly worth the wait. Thanks Brian, great design and awesome execution

Creator Nick Lee on October 29, 2012

Thanks Brian. The brass pencil has awesome feel & finish. It will be a fabulous Christmas present for my son.

Creator Robert on October 27, 2012

Well done. Two for me and one for my girlfriend. Nice feel and design.

Creator mitch cohen on October 27, 2012

jealous of allnof you that got yours already! got my shipping notification today and can't wait. thanks brian for running a textbook case of how to handle a kickstarter project.

Creator Lewis Phillips on October 27, 2012

Brian adding the cap is appreciated. This way I carry the Spoke everywhere and not have to worry about poking holes in my pants pocket or myself.

One question - are you planning on selling the docks separately on the web site?

Creator rasusto on October 26, 2012

Brian, got my pencil in the mail the other day. All I can say is wow! I'm an engineering student and the spoke is my drafting pencil of choice. I can't believe how light this thing is! I have one question though, the pencil came with a black plastic cap. What is that for? Also I would totally be into a retractible spoke pen that fits the pilot g2 ink sticks.

Creator Michael Werk on October 25, 2012

Brian, received my 4 pencils today. Absolutely fabulous. Love them. The brass pencil with the extra weight is my favorite. It's perfect. I love the way the pencils look on the stand. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. I am a fan! Thanks for a project well done.

Creator The Evolutionary on October 25, 2012

Got the Pencils. A project done close to estimated time! Well done. May want to tape the leads or add more padding, wen the package arrived I thought something was broken. ;-) Patching pens would be cool!

Creator Bob P on October 25, 2012

Brian-great job, very satisfying pencil and experience. can't wait for the pen to match!

Creator Ken's Lil' Sister on October 25, 2012

Brian,
Got my brass pencil and in a word: Fabulous!

Creator Corey Barberie on October 25, 2012

Like the design, but the color is coming off the red one already all over my fingers and shirt!!!

Creator Scott Bourne on October 25, 2012

Brian,

Got my pencil and I love it (so does everyone that see it)! Thanks so much for a wonderful product and smooth Kickstarter - can't wait for your next one . . . .

Scott

Creator Ed on October 24, 2012

Brian, I appreciate your customer service. I would like a finished one. Email me and I'll at least pay for shipping and would exchange the beautiful blue one I have. Thanks!

Creator Ed on October 24, 2012

Brian, Got my pencil today and it looks great. One thing though, I was one of the winners of your contest and thought I was getting a brass one. I was looking forward to one of those. Anything we can do so I can get one? Thanks!

Creator Sheila Heath on October 23, 2012

I received my pencil today and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for creating a wonderful design and for your excellent communication along the way! Looking forward to your next project-

Creator Nicholas Fournier on October 23, 2012

I received my pencil yesterday and it's wonderful. Overall, this has definitely been my best Kickstarter experience as your communication and updates throughout the process kept me informed and engaged. Thanks again and best of luck with your next endeavor.

Creator Jason Jacobsen on October 22, 2012

Thanks Brian!
I received the pencil in the mail today and I am surprised how light it feels.

Great job on the project! I look forward to your next project.

Creator Cerity "baux pens" Silverhawk on October 20, 2012

25% of packages in one day :D @Brian you have really kept ontop of our expectactions. And the date only slipped slightly, less than one month after close.
I agree with @rick :) the next one can only be better

Creator Brian Fellhoelter on October 17, 2012

Got mine today.
It's awesome!
Just what i hoped it would be.
I got Raw Brass, and do not feel the need to use the supplied finishing kit.
Gonna mount the dock on my milling machine, and always have a bad a$$ pencil around.
Thanks Brian, nice job.
