Oh I am up with those times believe you me.
"Low carbon" and "decarbonising" and "Carbon footprint" are probably the most absurd politically motivated invention of all times ... but hey, bread and circus .. right?
As far as gluing two hexagonal pieces together with a stick of graphite between them would give an odd looking pencil ...
Graham ... blacksmith tools usually need no coating but if you use them very little, a good clean up with a grinder powered steel brush and a rub with graphite will keep them looking good.
Your blacksmith production can be made look real good if you paint it with oil based paint, possibly rust colour red, and then rub the graphite on the paint when it is still a bit tacky. If you leave some streak of red here and there, it will have the metal colour of graphite and appear to be lightly rusted.Civilized man is the only animal clever enough to manufacture its own food,
and the only animal stupid enough to eat it.
