How A Pencil Is Made
Step 1: Wood is cut into slats that are called pencil stock
Step 2: There is then a wax and also stain that are put on while the slats are put under a cutting wheel
Step 3: In the slat, the grooves are filled with a glue ready for the lead
Step 4: They then create the lead by putting together graphite and clay and putting it in an oven to bake at around 815 degrees
Step 5: When the lead is put in, another slat of wood is plopped on top
Step 6: A Special Mechanism squeezes the wooden slats until the glue dries
Step 7: It's then cut into pencils
Step 8: The pencils are coloured by a lacquering head
Step 9: The eraser at the top is added from a assembley machine
Step 10: Some pencils are imprinted with company logos, but after that you have your very own pencil
