Interesting project, but I'm having difficulty justifying a $24 mechanical pencil...don't get me wrong it looks like a great project and an interesting engineering story.

Cool project, but anyone interested in the ultimate Mechanical Pencil should try the Pentel Graph Gear 1000 (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Automatic-Drafting-Brushed-PG1015A/dp/B000GAU2RU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344227102&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+graphgear+1000), which sells for under $15.
You won't regret the investment and (for pen users) may find it even makes you use pencils more often.

$24 is actually really reasonable for a high quality metal pencil. There are a lot out there that cost a TON more that are very popular.
