Excellent suggestion. I'll have to go fetch some duct tape, bailing wire, and gorilla glue and see what I can come up with. Maybe a wire tie or two also.

^^^^ Listen to HRK. He speaks the truth...
This one is as around as old as me, 65, I grew up with it screwed to the stairs to the basement and used it often. I "stole" it when we auctioned off the home after my Dad passed. I had it on a cabinet in the garage until I rearranged last year and it now sits in limbo until I find a suitable permanent place again.
I have several of those old vintage American made pencil sharpeners. They still work far better than any chinese made piece of junk offered for sale today.
I still use a pencil. I can't explain why but there's just something satisfying about writing and working problems with one. It feels good in the hand.
I even have a couple of those old electric powered pencil sharpeners, also made in the USA. .

I have a pencil sharpener just like that. Funny thing is, I only recently mounted it. I had it in a cabinet in my garage and would anchor it to my bench with a clamp when I wanted to sharpen a pencil. Only a couple months ago did I mount it to the side of a cabinet.

The base should be mounted on a vertical surface with the handle aft.
