How we make pencils

I'm never gonna look at a pencil the same again. Idk why this video just makes me value my pencil more

Classmate: hey can I borro- Me: no, it took 300 hours to make this pencil and I'm not going to let you 'borrow' it just so it gets lost after class.

I have never been more invested in the pencil-making process as I am now.

This is the first time I've seen making a pencil like this. Little did I know that there was so much hard work. Thanks Faber-Castell for the fantastic work.

Classmate: “Hey you got a pencil i can borrow” Me: “sorry this is my only one” My pencil bag :

If someone's borrows a pencil from me and not giving it back as they say "It's just a pencil!" I'll be sending this to them.

When I was little, before I left my homeland to immigrate to the other side of the world, my teary-eyed relatives gave me the 48 colored pencil set as a goodbye gift. I took that set everywhere as I learned to acclimate. On my first visit back many years later, I bought myself a new set and passed that down to my baby sister. And to this day, I still have my original set from more than 2 decades ago. Faber-Castell will always have a special meaning in my life (I’m cheesy, yes, but this video brings back nostalgia).

Can I just say this was one of the most interesting videos I've watched. Always fascinating to see how things we use every day, and take for granted, are made.

When i was a kid having Faber-Castell pencils was sort of like a status symbol

YouTube : pencils Me: I have work to do. My brain: PENCILS My fingers: PENCILS

As an architect and artist I use them for years. It is one of the tools you pick up without thinking about it, and they never disappointed me.

It seems to me that this automated production process of making pencils is incredible, the fact that it also applies quality control (an inspection) before if gets sent off.

I still remember those days in school Having Faber Castle was like owning Mercedes of Pencils..

sends this to that one kid in class who always borrows pencils and never gives em back

I grew up next to this fabrication and sometimes the whole neighbourhood smelled like pencils. 🙂 Depends on the wind. Back then in the 80s everyone living around Faber Castell worked there and I always had lots of scarce goods pencils given to me by neighbours that they could not sell because the print was overlayed or something. Then, like everywhere, staff was heavily reduced and my pencil well dryed up.

Thank you all the employees who make these wonderful pencils for us to use. I love them, and I appreciate them even more now. Love and blessings, Sandy

I didn't know Faber Castell had a YouTube channel until now

I’m here to apologize for all of the pencils I’ve broken-

I actually visited their factory like 10 years ago or so. Was an incredible insight.

Such a treat. These little joy sticks most people forget to think about. Thanks for our rainbow wands Faber-Castell Team 🌈🥰💖🌻🐳
