How we make pencils

Producing 2.3 billion pencils a year and being in the business for over 257 years, Faber-Castell has a sound know-how of how quality pencils are made. Have a look behind the scenes of our manufacturing.

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.

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

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

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).

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

No one ever had an idea that Faber Castell has a YouTube channel

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 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.

Back in junior school days...These Faber-Castels were the rolls-royce of all pencils for us.

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

I regret nothing

[bushraanjum]

Me: Looks at my pencil.
Also Me: You did such a long journey..You are Valuable😀

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.

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

It’s 2am on a school night and I’m watching how pencils are made

[pompy]

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