How is a pencil made?
Almost all the students have pencils in their pencil box, but do you know how it is made? First, cut the wood into rectangular shapes, and then cut into smaller rectangular shape. Next, the wood needs to be put on something like wax to protect our hand to not been hurt. After this, the wood will cut a long half hole to put the leads. When the leads is on the wood, the other half of the wood can start combine it together to make it become a no color and eraser's pencil. The pencil is already half way done. The pencil is still a rectangular shape, so the machine will cut it into hexagonal prism. It is impossible that the machine only do one pencil in once, so bunch of the pencils are still stick together. The next process is need to cut it individual. Actually this is done. The company might put on some color or their logo. On the other side of the pencil will put a ferrule enable to put the eraser. That is the whole process to make a pencil.
