When I was a kid, my mom gave me my own hand crank pencil sharpener. I was SOOOOOO happy. To this day, there's nothing more gratifying than sharpening a pencil.
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.
In the digital age it pleases me to know so many of us are still using pencils. I have hundreds and use them every day but I'm a sucker for a new sets.
Back in 1990, my college art professor got me hooked on Prismacolor color pencils. I gave up painting and have used colored pencils ever since. Love them.
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.
My mom did the same for me .... only with my mittens instead! 👧🧤😂 (that was early 60's for me, yet I'm tempted to do that every time I get a new pair) 👵😂
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.
Things I learned today; a) Cedar is used because it's a wood that doesn't warp. b) Cedar slats arrive at the factory already treated so that the wood doesn't warp.
I still write a grocery list to take to the store. And I write myself little notes on "sticky notes" to remind me to do things. I love me some pencils. I'm still using _round_ Magic Muffler pencils, from a So. Cal. muffler shop, found in my dad's shop when he passed. I cherish those pencils because the remind me of dad, and of the "old days" when every Magic Muffler shop had one or more '56 Chevy's.
@@davidbosworth4751 Also, it also developed over a long process. One of the early "pencils" was just graphite wrapped in string. 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.
This is Where I used The Original Pencils since I was a Little boy, When I was Grade 1 to 6, This is How I Learn Everyday From School, And I was Philippines, so I Learned so Much That I can do Anything About Pencils However About That Reason, I Love Pencils to Learn, And I Love it.
Many pencils are equipped with erasers…which are designed to smear the paper irreversibly, rip holes where you don’t want them, or have no effect on the graphite line at all….
As a commercial artist I use pencils all the time. The erasers on a pencil are ineffective and rip right through paper and will ruin the line drawn. I think they’re there just for decoration.
In grammar school we often joked about everything! My thing in 7th grade was to say " Does everyone have a sharpened # 2 Ticonderoga pencil ? Show me! "
@@kendallevans4079 Yes very specialized , drafting and art use, CAD has replaced almost all old fashioned drafting, I cant even remember if #1 was harder or softer lead but used because it did not smug as much.
Amazing process, but the narration requires proofreading before releasing the video. Here is one example; At 0:57 California cedar is chosen because it "doesn't warp" But, at 2:27 it is stated that cedar slats"...arrives at the factory already stained, dried, and waxed to prevent warping" Cedar definitely does warp.
@@plantbased5673 That reminds me of a UA-cam Video about John Steinbeck's pencil ritual so he didn't have to stop writing to sharpen pencils. He would sharpen 24 wood pencils, put them in a box, and start writing with one of the pencils. When it became dull he would put it into another box, grab another pencil, and continue writing. Repeat until all of the pencils are dull.
This reminds me of a DC character named Rose Forrest who became immortal (she was born in the 20th Century and she's still alive in the 31st Century). One of her problems is that she keeps starting and losing journals because of advances in technology (she mentions saving one of a ZIP Disc). I agree that writing using pencil and paper will last longer than writing stored as computer data.
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.
I still love writing with the pencil.. ❤❤❤thanks gor the amazing video.. and i am so humbled to hear the nsme of my country, Sri Lanka, to be the producer of the highest quality graphite ❤❤❤
Ticrondega...American Standard...Dixon by Oriole...loved getting new pencils. I find the rubbers are now more plasticy, so I use the rubber attachment. Anybody else?
I wonder if the pencils we see today are these. I used to be able to use pencils until there was a tiny stub left. Now you can't even sharpen them once without the graphite breaking every time.
Cheap pencils are made with wood from pressed sawdust-they're not firm enough, unlike the pencils shown in this vid-made from actual planks of wood, which is MUCH firmer. Less flexible, less broken lead.
@@josephgaviota This is why if I used a wooden pencils I'd only use a well-known name-brand one, it is worth it for the extra quality. However, I use mechanical pencils for that reason. With a good-quality mechanical pencil, combined with a softer lead (like a 2B) I rarely have a breakage problem.
So what's your best selling pencil? "The number 2" OK, what's your second best selling pencil? "The number 1" OK... Have you ever considered renaming them?
When my son was in first grade the nun told them the first day of school they must bring in two #2 sharpened pencils everyday. If a kid forgot their pencils she rented a pencil for 2¢ a day.

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.
I'm sure in the decades since I Pencil somebody has taken it upon themselves. I'd like to think someone did 5 years in each industry and figured it all out.
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?

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.

You were watching foghorn the big white rooster. I always liked that cartoon.

A personal handheld wooden enclosed graphite scribing device is a good tool
what a genius invention for this simple and useful tool for every human who learn how to write for the first time

No.2 Dixon Ticonderoga. Best pencil ever!
I respectfully disagree and vote for Blackwing 😉
Many pencils are equipped with erasers…which are designed to smear the paper irreversibly, rip holes where you don’t want them, or have no effect on the graphite line at all….

And many people don't know how to use an eraser correctly..
As a commercial artist I use pencils all the time. The erasers on a pencil are ineffective and rip right through paper and will ruin the line drawn. I think they’re there just for decoration.
You need to get a kneaded rubber. They work just fine. And don't leave those annoying little bits behind to brush all over the desk.
Looks like the production process hasn't changed in 100 years. Would be interesting to see how a new factory would tackle pencil production.
