Update #1: Wow! and Metric!
Wow. We've been blown away by your support over the last few days. Thanks so much for backing the project, and telling your friends about the Ruler Pencil. Here's what's happening now.
Backing
We reached our funding goal on Day 1, which was just jaw-dropping. But you can still back the project - the more funding we get, the higher quality pencil we can produce.
Metric!
Many of our backers have asked for it, and with your support we're going to do it. We'll produce Ruler Pencils with both Inches and Centimeters on them.
Pencil Quality
We've gotten some great guidance from the pencil enthusiast community (it exists!), especially from Andy Welfle at Woodclinched, and Charles Berolzheimer at CalCedar. Big thanks especially to Andy for his expertise, and serving as our resident Pencil Expert. We'll be working to get the best quality pencil for the price.
Spread the word!
We'd all appreciate if you'd tell your friends about the project - you can:
-
tweet about the project on twitter
- like it on facebook
- embed the video on your blog or website
- or use a pencil and write a letter
Thanks again
Thanks again for backing the project. We'll post more updates as we go!

We're a design and development studio in San Diego. We're pleased to meet you.
Have you mailed them yet? I'm thinking they're gonna make excellent stocking stuffers.
Not yet; the funds were just released to us last week, so we're doing the production now. Thanks for checking!
Any chance they'll be out by Christmas? If not, then it'll be perfect for my brother's birthday.
