Hi Leroy,

Good to hear from ya.
Your workshop sorta sounds like mine, except that I may have a few more
pieces of "hi-tech" machinery than you.

I have a gas 'fitsall' wrench - a milling machine that you hold in your
hand and takes a 
4½" cutting wheel - a vertical Delta lathe that stands close to the
garage door - a few BFH's, plenty of chisels and a couple crow bars - a
large Craftsman tool box with plenty of sockets - a work bench made out
of 2x4's and a table saw.  And - of course - a hand operated Hack Saw.
Two walls of shelves and ho'made cabinets stocked to the max with Flares
- Briggs' - REO's - Meyers - and a few other "antique" odds 'n ends.  All
stuffed into a two  car garage along with 5 or 6 flywheel engines - a
Harley - a Snow Thrower - a BBQ Grill - Lawn Seeder - an extra truck tire
- and or course - - - 
"Her Majesty" Automobile.

I once had the idea of making a flywheel engine out of a Briggs until I
tried (and succeeded) to run a Briggs on battery & coil.  Said to myself,
"This ain't no BFD" and 
gave up the idea.

And - - - Of course I've heard of LH pencils.  Even had a few from time
to time.
My guess is that they are either made as a novelty or some idiot loaded
the pencils into the erasure machine backwards.

Have a good day.
