The process of making a pencil involves crushing rocks to create graphite and mixing it with clay.
Pencils with a higher proportion of clay are more durable and create bolder lines.
The graphite in pencils is often mistaken for lead due to its dark color.
📏 Different pencil numbers (e.g. #2, #4) contain varying amounts of clay in their core.
⏰ The mill works for 24 hours, adding water to the drum to create a graphite fluid.
💧 The graphite fluid is then transformed into a dry powder through a filtration process.
🔧 The graphite mixture is prepared and compressed into a dense paste.
⚙️ The paste is molded and placed inside a pencil core.
🔥 The cores are then baked in a large oven to harden.
🔥 The high temperatures activate the clay mixture, hardening the cores and fusing them with the graphite.
🌲 Cedar wood is used to manufacture the wooden parts of the pencils due to its strong and straight veins that prevent splintering.
🖊️ The wooden boards are milled to create grooves for housing the pencil cores, and then assembled into eight pencils at a time.
The video is about the process of manufacturing pencils.
Glue is used to secure the pencil cores, while rotating cylinders distribute the pencil leads into each slot.
The pencils are then shaped into a hexagonal form and painted with a non-toxic yellow paint.
📝 The yellow color of pencils was originally chosen to represent royalty and quality.
🚀 Rubber erasers are made by attaching a metal ferrule around the eraser.
✏️ The pencils are sharpened by a pencil sharpener before being packaged.
📏 The video explores the process of manufacturing pencils.
🖊️ It showcases the different stages involved in pencil production.
🌲 The video emphasizes the importance of using high-quality wood for making pencils.
