Transfering pencil drawings to workpiece.

[Tim Herman]

I dont know if this has been covered or mentioned but using Tom Whites transfer magic, this works great for transfering your pencil drawings to the workpiece. I have made a small pencil lead size rounded polished burnisher from an old drill bit that I use in a mechanical pencil I use for going over the reverse side of my design on tracing paper.
Tracing paper lets you see the workpiece clearly for placement of the design. Then lightly go over the backside of the pencils lines and they stick very well to Toms transfer magic.
Sorry if this has been said before. If not I hope it helps some.

i'm not sure if this technique for pencil has been posted. if it has, maybe a few have never seen it. in any event i shall give this a try. never thought to try pencil transfers that way. thanks for the info.

Sounds like it gives you a lot more durable transfer than a coat of wax.

iv'e used the pencil technique for years and many times find it faster than fooling around with a copier, also fast for doing right and left sides of a piece just use a little harder pencil instead of a burnisher.
