I have an amazing idea for a pencil sharpener, A razor blade that stays stationary in a solid mount with a hole in it. As you spin the pencil around the razor shaves wood off the pencil slowly and soon you have a perfect tip.
Wow how did you come up with that?? Its impressive!! It might just be the best instrument ever invented!!
Guess what- they're making pencils thinner lately to save material & they don't fit in the sharpener correctly & keep breaking the point off.
@@NovaTheScreechingDragon Yep, never been invented before, this is the most original idea ever! I was inspired after i saw a guy using this weird, vintage thing, stuffing his pencil into it just to sharpen it, so after that, I got to work, hundreds of seco- days doing google searches to find something to st- invent untill finally, I reached a conclusion, I called it, the ULTRASHARP PRO.
@@peterbaruxis2511 wait really? companies usually make special sharpeners for their different sized pencils, not sure if the same has been done with those. I haven't seen these thinner pencils anywhere I've been but who knows.
I really think so, I can't find any old pencils laying around to compare but it seems like they're just slightly thinner and I always have a problem sharpening them. I don't think it's easy to tell the difference between just two pencils because it just a little bit but if I had ten old and ten new ones I think I'd be able to tell.@@bloxreaction2688

That "sandpaper grit" is actually powdered synthetic ruby, and the waterjet I used to cut all the parts for my minitruck build blew the mixture at 40,000psi. One of the machinists at the shop mentioned how he'd always imagined getting rid of a body with one, and that mental image and idea has never fully left my head. YYYYYYUUUUCK.

@@chocopieaddict9792Idk why no one has answered you yet, but you can absolutely drain a garnet-using water jet, filter it out, and recycle it.

An exposed moving blade
And a lot more dangerous

@StuffMadeHere I have an idea for your .27 cal pencil sharpener. First you need to vent some of the gas off. Second don't try to force too blunt objects together and expect a sharpened result, in other words try you can't just compress the wood on the pencil. Try the sharp angle on the sharping end again but this time try to not only cut the wood instead of compress it, but also give the cut off bits somewhere to go. I wish i could leave a diagram in comments, but generally if i were to try to build this i would vent the gas off at the same place the cut off bits go. Hope you try this in the future, this video was very fun watch. Keep doing what you do!

What's the point of diminishing a man's actual talent in order to say something flattering about a woman that isn't even factual? It ends up coming off as sarcasm, since the joke implies that the only way a woman would be a better engineer than a man is in a fantasy world of a joke where everything is the opposite of reality. Is that what you meant to communicate? There are other videos with talented female engineers who deserve recognition for their actual talents.

The sharpeners themselves genuinely could be considered contemporary art! You should try to get them into a gallery! You could argue they raise a lot of questions about the absurdity of mass production and automization.
I don't think you even need to argue those things, I think they stand as art by simply labeling them as pencil sharpeners. And maybe have a nearby video playing showing each of them in action.
Absurdity? If anything it points out the human touch in even the most mechanized things.

On the bullet one, Use the pressurized gas from the charge like an air knife to slice the cone instead of trying to form a point through impact.
Got the same idea. Weird that he went the other way around
Bro wanted to make a vertical particle accelerator for pencils. A pencil accelerator. If he does gas he should make like one of those gas charges BB guns to shoot blades lol
Or instead of firing it into a cone, use the charges to clamp a cone shaped mold around the outside. Like book style. That way there's space around the edges for the shrapnel- I mean, scraps, to escape without smushing into the graphite, and the actual explosive force only meets steel instead of the soft pencil.
He could probably also do progressively smaller rings of blades with gaps in between if he wanted to fix the original method. So that way it basically peels away layers as it travels and the excess can get out of the way.

What you should have done instead of shooting the pencil into a mold is shoot the pencil with some spin, and shoot it into stagnant sharpener, or shoot the pencil into a spinning sharpener.
for the .50 cal powered sharpener, instead of trying to impact form the pencil, why not use the acceleration to propel the pencil past a series of razor blades, that progressively shave it down to a point? the razor blades would also act as a brake, each one taking some of the momentum away and converting it to heat, which could potentially prevent the pencil from exploding at the end of the blade-form
edit: for clarity, i'm more or less proposing you make a pencil gun and then use that gun to shoot the pencil into a helical cone of razor blades that will shave the pencil-bullet while decelerating it
I had the same thought. Better to actually sharpen it to a point than try to compress it into one
Same idea. A gun already has a rifled barrel which puts a spin on the projectile (pencil) and then just a cone sharpener
@@jonoel6638 come to think of it you could just make a really really long barrel that comes to a point with some vents at the end so the gasses have somewhere to go and the rifling would take care of the sharpening on its own
I should have read through the comments BEFORE i posted🤦♂️
Cool idea, although I have some doubts on a technical aspect. Shooting a pencil into a helical cone of razor blades leaves you with many long strips of pencil wood. In case u actually found circular blade, you'd get wood straws with increasing diameter depending on how many blades you have.
The pantograph does seem genuinely useful as a lathe attachment for artists. There's a lot of people working in very tiny scale and a tool like that would help them achieve it

Engineering is So much more fun when you are working on a project off your own back and driving the project. Pick something you are passionate about creating and just start. You will be amazed what you will figure out along the way! :) you can do it.
Honestly, the pantograph lathe is a really cool idea. It would probably make it easier to make consistent bowls and cups
I believe something like that exists. I'm trying to remember what I saw. I think it was not technically a pantograph but a man was turning uprights for a production product. Think like the supports for a wooden balcony / stairs railing. They had a pattern and each one needed to be the same and he had a pattern he was using to make that happen.
They use them to make airplane propellers.
Yeah, honestly even just a tiny one like he made in this would probably be a cool kit to play around with
You should check out Matthias Wandel's panto router setup. Not quite a pantograph lathe, but still a pretty cool use for the idea.
there is a version for larger wood lathes that i know of. You cut out the profile of your shape and it just links a tracing probe 1:1 with a cutting head and it will do anything without undercuts pretty well@@davidbwa

The "pantograph lathe" is actually a real thing called a tracer attachment for manual lathes and the perfect companion for them is actually a water jet table to cut out the templates needed.
There's a complete "genre" of machine tools that use the pantograph or a similar mechanism to copy a template.
They are kinda obsolete today, being replaced with CNC machines, but back in the day it was an excellent way to mass produce identical objects.
Most notably, the pantograph milling machine is still used to cut/copy keys when you take them to the locksmith.
Also, pantograph mechanism is also used to establish the sliding electrical contact with conductors, mostly in trains, trams and trolleys.
if you were to build a housing 19:00 with razors on that same rig, you could fire it down a rail onto a fixed pencil. it would require a rubber stopper and same length pencils in order to get it to work consistently. im certain you could find a few ways to make it more dynamic.
I like how "train a beaver" is at the top of the list of ideas for pencil sharpeners, and that it's CHECKED OFF. That's got to be some story xD
I really appreciate, how your wife gets more comfortable on camera with each video. All the best for all of your family!
The spinning xacto not cutting the graphite is a really neat demonstration of the differing hardness between the wood and graphite. Low key my favorite part of the video.
Like also could be useful for certain purposes artistically just maybe not writing
It would be super interesting to go through different lead grades to find the one first one it can cut through.
@@SocksAndPuppets2 things:
1. thats a realy good idea
2. he could've just used a tungsten carbide blade lmao
The wood grain also tends to hold the blade inward whereas it bounces off the graphite.
This is some of the best videos in all of UA-cam. Thank you for all you do.
10:15 easy:
-2 for not seeing what's happening
-1 for having to spin on your own
-1 for shooting wood dust all over the place
-1 for could be way pointier
+5 for CHAINSAAAAAAAW!
I love how the first sharpener is just an obscenely overcomplicated design of a normal pencil sharpener 😂
Hey I am really hope to make a big change in my life and start to feel blessed and I'm striving everyday to achieve my life goals and I love making youtube videos
@@lswatEnthope somewhere else
@@lswatEntgood luck on weight loss don’t give up you won’t regret it. After a while it just gets easier and easier
Not to mention that at the right angle the blade doesn't need to whip around like that 😂
Obscenely over-complicated and about 100x more dangerous.
I was on a trip once and I desperately needed to sharpen my pencil but I had nothing to do so with. Using my infinite wisdom, I took off the metal part that holds the eraser and used that to sharpen my pencil
That's higher than infinite
You couldnt find concrete?
@@dojostarfox4520 I was inside a car and we weren't planning on stopping for a while
@@OfficiallySnekJust open the door and stick your pencil out against the asphalt as you're driving. Problem solved.

Accidentally discovered your channel, you are doing things that I have imagined doing for my entire life. Very cool. Now I just wish I still had some of the plans I developed over the years that were eventually lost to the sands of time. I’m extremely jealous of your water jet. Wishing you and your family the best.
There is no way any engineer can watch this without feeling frustration about how his or her workshop compared to yours.
It also makes me feel lonely
I have some screwdrivers and a 10 year fully oxidized soldering iron.
@@hiiamelecktro4985well for electric stuff that is basically enough but if you wanna build samething out of metal you need at least the basic handtools for around 500€/$/£ and progress is painstakingly slow 😅
*their
Have you looked into whether there are any decent makerspaces near you? They can definitely be a good option when buying all the tools you want doesn't make financial or spatial sense.
My favorite channel on the entire platform. Congrats on the new child. That water jet is gonna grow up to be a G.
I love how sincerely and objectively your wife rates all your creations. Its a good day when you post
She actually liked them this time.
Normally she just tells him they suck.
Wifey's charming personality and quirky sense of humour are slowly being revealed as she grows more comfortable being on camera. That was a fun video you two. 👍
It's very sweet, I wish my wife enjoyed my machines more...
Who the hell wakes up one day and says "Let's sharpen a pencil with a chainsaw?"
Shane is a lunatic but I adore him lol
I'l tell ya who. Champions!
Engineers. That's who.
This man is as funny as he is smart. With a wife to match. This channel might be the best thing the internet has ever done.
there are thousands of free images of snails on the internet. This is certainly not the best.

@@LegoGoblin If you're trying to say this guy is a snail, this is the most rad snail to ever exist
Literally discovered this channel 3 hours ago just to get blessed with a new upload as I’m binging the older videos
You are a lucky person, Haroldo. Lol
The spinning razor was my favorite. It was so cool
