I'm tempted --- I certainly really enjoyed my Chopstick Master, and this would facilitate making gifts which are a bit more accessible to folks.
WOW!, and people poke fun and Woodpecker.
I had to check to make sure it isn't the first of April.
I'm speechless.
Well, almost anyway. For some (unfathomable) reason, this makes me think of Porsche building an SUV. At least Porsche had the good grace to put twin turbos on that beast.
But I'll bet Niemann Marcus sells a number of these these....

Oh look, more absurdly overpriced crap made to appeal to the people with more money than sense. Pass.
Is that an American or China-made version?
If the price is for the US edition, anyone outside US seriously looking to buy the kit for fun or as a gift to give to someone should wait till John brings the Chinese edition to the market, which should be 20% to 35% cheaper.
As a woodworker, I am not interested in making chopsticks or pencils and so to answer your question, I have not ordered any of John's gizmos. I will also pass if he later comes up with a tooth-pick making gadget.

50 bucks a pencil is not too bad. I wonder how many pre-orders they’ll actually receive.

You can buy a lot of pencils for $600. Probably can even get your name or message printed on them.

duel purpose plane iron! as if the decided on that being much more efficient than supplying you with 2 plane irons for making pencils. also, where is the custom sharpening stone for those profiles!
Is it spring already?
And a payment option? I’d gladly buy woodpeckers anything over that!
...from their website: I just can’t justify the ROI on this one.
