  I&apos;m lucky enough to own a Yard-O-Led Diplomat ballpoint pen I received as a university graduation present from my parents over 10 years ago, and I use it every day. <br>It&apos;s the best pen I&apos;ve ever used, and has a lot of sentimental value.<br><br>Thanks Alec for showing us the hard work that goes into producing these reliable and beautiful tools.

  Do I need a fancy pencil? No. Do I now really want a fancy pencil? Yes. Great video again, Alec - these artisan showcases are great fun, please keep making them.

  Finally we get some thick British accent on this channel. Those pens are beautiful. It&apos;s lovely to see old art stay alive.

  The young lady that seems like a gem of a human. I may have only seen 5 minutes of her life but she seems to be proud of her craft and she damn well should be.

  The way the machines work are so vastly different from what i imagined. It&apos;s such a beautifully unique process.

  As an old school trained Tool &amp; Die Maker this was so very cathartic.<br> &nbsp; I can never explain to lay-people what it is we actually do. We don&apos;t make the &quot;product&quot;, we make the &quot;tooling&quot; that makes a million &quot;products&quot;.<br> &nbsp; It&apos;s like operating in the shadows, behind the curtain. Aside from nature, everything that anyone has ever touched only exists because a tool-maker, somewhere along the line, made it so.<br> &nbsp; Aside from a few Corvids and Primates using sticks, the making and use of &quot;tools&quot; towards a goal separates us Hominids from the pack.

  I genuinely hope you write a memoir down the road about how craftsmanship has changed your life.

  Your very good at making blue collar workers feel like celebrities with your enthusiasm, and I love to see people who take pride in their work get the recognition &nbsp;they deserve. &nbsp;I think it’s a wonderful thing your doing. I hope to see more of it soon.
