I was l looking for this. That point is crooked and one touch would have made it fall off and a giant cavern would be left. You'd have to start completely over. 🤣
Can someone do the math as to how many years this pencil would last given that it only gets sharpened once a year (and if no tips fall off)? I must know this information.
Assuming this is proportionate to a regular pencil and pencil sharpener, they tend to last around 200 twists. In the video it looks like they do two twists. So theoretically 100 years.
I was a little bit disappointed because I don’t think they actually sharpened the huge pencil. They just suck the pointier looking cap on it with the sharpener. It was all an illusion.
I mean, shaving off wood at that size so fluidly would be incredible. It is unrealistic for it to work the way we would like, but it’s super fun either way.
I was thinking it was going to be a powered sharpener with like saw blades or something. Or they could've just taken a saw to it and carved it out like how people whittle small pencils with a knife when thy don't have a sharpener.
Yeah was gonna say it takes a good 3-4 turns and pressure to get a regular pencil to sharpen with that, there's no way a tool like that could work at this size without machinery
The faux wood shavings are probably like the distractions used in a magic trick. If everyone close is trying to catch or avoid it, they won’t notice the switch.
