First, they get some wood, sharpen it into a 3D hexagon, make a circular hole through the middle, then put lead in the hole. They then put it on a conveyor belt, and has another super-speedy conveyor belt sharpen one end of the pencil. Then, they add some detail to the pencil. And the pencil is finished :D
Optionally, they can also sometimes add a rubber to the other end of the pencil

RenePencils are typically made by combining graphite, clay, and other ingredients to create the pencil core, which is then encased in wood. The wood casing is shaped, painted, and stamped with the pencil's brand and information. Finally, the eraser is attached to the end of the pencil.

Can you chop a pencil in half and make it the world's smallest pencil?
Yes, you can chop a pencil in half to make it smaller, but it would not necessarily be the world's smallest pencil. To make the world's smallest pencil, specialized manufacturing techniques and materials would be needed to create a functional writing instrument that is significantly smaller than a traditional pencil.
Is a 3B pencil darker than a 2B pencil?
Yes, a 3B pencil is darker than a 2B pencil. The higher the number in the pencil grade, the softer the graphite and therefore the darker the mark it will make on paper.
How do you make a pencil float in the air?
You can make a pencil float in the air by using powerful magnets. Place a magnet above and below the pencil to create a magnetic field that counteracts gravity and lifts the pencil. Be cautious when working with magnets to avoid any accidents or damage.
What has more mass-a pencil or a book?
A book typically has more mass than a pencil due to the larger amount of material used to make the book compared to the pencil.
How do you make a pencil stop squeaking?
To stop a pencil from squeaking, try rubbing the tip of the pencil on a rough surface like paper or a textured eraser to smooth out any rough spots that may be causing the noise. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite powder or wax to the tip of the pencil to reduce friction and noise. Additionally, make sure the pencil lead is securely inserted into the pencil to prevent any movement that could cause squeaking.
