    When I was a kid, I thought that they drilled holes into the wood and pushed the lead in. I would carefully remove the wood off of a pencil lead then shape a new piece of wood, drill a hole in it so I could make my own pencils. It never worked out too well.
    I also used to carefully cut open burnt lightbulbs, reattached the filament, then try to draw out the air and seal them back up. That too never worked out too well. But some would work at a much lower voltage.
    The few times I "sort of" succeeded in my experiments would be the highlights of my days. I guess you could say I always tried to reinvent the wheel. 😁

    My first job was at Reeves Industrial Equipment, Orlando Florida. I was 21, in college evenings and and worked during the day. One of the engineering projects we did was a pencil yellow paint machine @4:20 we did for Berol Co. In Mexico. Its exactly like the one shown. There's paint in the hopper one pencil is always in the hopper. A chain with push tabs pushes one after another. Then onto a 100 foot belt conveyor to dry. Then back into the pencil hopper for another coat of paint. This is repeated 6 times. Brings back memories. Now I'm retired from a vast machine design experience.

    It’s hard to believe that when my dad started school in 1941, he got a small 4” piece of a pencil that my grandfather would put a hole at the end and put a string though it and hang it on my dads neck. That pencil was supposed to last the entire school year, because they were so hard to come by and so expensive. It’s amazing how abundant and cheap they are that kids but dozens of them during back to school shopping these days.

      I had to take an exam with #2 pencils some years back (about 10 or so years). I went into the kitchen drawer where we stored all things like pens and pencils and I found some that dated to my school era days (some 40 years back). I sharpened them using the same Bostitch crank sharpener that I used when I was a kid (in the same house which I grew up in) and added new cap erasers to those old pencils.
      I took the test and passed with flying colors. I considered those old pencils like old friends and good luck charms from my younger years.

Plus, other advances were combining graphite with clay so that the darkness and hardness of the pencil lead could be adjusted, the addition of an eraser, and the six-sided shape developed over a long period. Added to that are things like the pencil sharpener (people used to sharpen a pencil with a knife), erasers (bread was used as an eraser at one time), and the color.

      My father for 25 years worked for Dixons Pencils in downtown Jersey City, NJ until 1971. It was called Joseph Dixon Crucible company back then. He was a machinist and set up man. It was a dirty place. His hands and “work blues” were always covered with graphite from working on the equipment. Graphite was used to lubricant the machine’s moving parts. As a kid, I did a science project on how pencils were made from various stages of pencil production. He supplied me with the leads, slotted wood blanks, half cut pencils in wood, sample of raw graphite and erasers in end caps. It was the only science project I ever received an ‘A’. The factory in Jersey City closed years ago. The buildings turned into condos.

    Really loved the detail in this video, it's fascinating to see the pencil-making process! However, I can't help but think the amount of plastic used in packaging is a bit excessive. Isn't it time we consider more sustainable options? Would love to hear others' thoughts on this!

    When I was a kid the pencils were really dark in the 70s.
    But now the color is very dull, not dark at all.
    Do they make high graphite pencils that are really dark ?
    How can I find pure graphite pencils ?

      Try a pencil in the higher B range, like a 2B or a 4B. A 2B is noticebly darker than an HB/#2 and also writes more smoothly.. The main disadvantage is that tip wears down much faster so you have to sharpen it more often.

    Really enjoyed this video! It's fascinating to see the pencil-making process in such detail. That said, I wonder if we’re relying too much on traditional materials. With all the advancements in technology, shouldn’t we be exploring more sustainable alternatives? Just a thought!

    Great video! I loved how you broke down the pencil-making process in such an engaging way. However, I can’t help but think that focusing so much on traditional pencil production over digital tools is a bit outdated. Aren’t we moving toward a more digital future where these skills might not be as relevant?

    great video! i really enjoyed learning about the pencil-making process, it’s fascinating to see the attention to detail. but honestly, i have to say, it's kind of surprising how much effort goes into something we often take for granted. do you think we should be more mindful about the materials we use in everyday items like this?

    The images of "Cedar" 1 minute in are of Juniper which is not the wood commonly used for pencils. Juniper would make a very aromatic pencil. Port Orford Cedar is the traditional pencil wood. It smells nice too.

    This is how pencils are made: US shuts down its own lumbering industry but allows Japanese companies to continue harvesting trees on US soil. Then, the Japanese transport the lumber to Japan where they use Japanese factories to make pencils. The pencils are then shipped back to the US for the American consumer. A win-win for politicians on both sides of Pacific.
