Clearance Kmart sketch kit arrived yesterday. The first thing I cracked into was the sandpaper sharpening board. It's really small and the wooden backing is chipboard but it's a vast improvement on trying to smooth/taper pencil leads with a pack of emery boards. (Doable but awkward and very easy to start honing at the wrong angle. They were previously all that was on hand and it was a hassle to buy sandpaper alone.)
