Do you know how to make a pencil?
Yes. I also know how to make a piece of charcoal, OR sintered graphite wrapped in wood pulp, painted yellow, with a little metal band and a pice of rubber on top.
Nuts.
I don't believe you. You cannot make a pencil, except a boss tells you, and provides the tools and materials.
I could make a pencil. Absolutely. But first I would NEED one. It also may not look like the one a pin factory makes, but I could make one.
Notice that the grain in a good pencil is aligned. It is not just wood
pulp. How do you manage that?
Its super-thin veneer rolled around a graphite slug. But it doesn't have to be exactly that construction to be a pencil. Bye stupid.
We saw Ivan the troll make a gun. I tried to follow along, and it is not easy. Let's see you make a pencil.
