Here I was, thinking that my interest in pencils was starting to fade. Then I saw that my Blackwing subscription had renewed, and I saw this video. Very well done!
This made me think of the pencil vending machines we had in my elementary school as a kid here in the US. They looked similar to bubblegum machines with a wide mouth. They would load them with pencils that had MLB and Football teams names colors on them. Quarter per pencil.
The Mirado Black Warrior. I purchased a set back in 2008 for the sole purpose of taking the LSAT exam. I still have a few and didn't realize that so many people loved them.
I have several that are YEARS old and as yet unused from a quantity bought and equally scattered across the spaces in my life. A great pencil indeed, and at present time sentiment has kept me from putting those few unused to paper.
So much of emotions you woke up...., now a days no value for things.. and have seen many on the way to bus, walk around the kids schools... have picked up many... but busy life does't allow all seen to be picked up.... Thank you for a great expression......
I like pencils also, some people think I’m crazy because I would spend money on pencils than a new video game. Old pencils need love too! ❤️ Please make more videos like this
Every time I stumble across this video or your video about why to use a pencil (your channels intro video) I always click on it because they are just so therapeutic
The brown/maroon stubbie pencil marked Lee Valley is a pencil made for precision woodworkers just like all the tools Lee Valley also make. They used to have a particular lead that could be wetted to change its appearance on dark woods.
Great video It’s sad to see how people take care of pencils ✏️ , but with pens 🖊 people take more care. I don’t understand why people misuse pencils ✏️ it’s a great tool for writing.
Yea, it is very easy to relate to old pencil stubs if used pencils. I always want to keep mine or even those other people want to throw away. I am pretty sure it is not normal and is a psychological disorder of some kind. It gives a false illusion that somehow you are connected to the person who wrote with the pencil before it was a stub, or with the content the pencils created in the text they wrote.
I love Wooden Pencils and have a huge collection of them. I grew up with Wooden Pencils back in the 1990s. I'm more interested in Brand Name Pencils and have least interest in Advertising and Novelty Pencils....it's just My type and preference.
I wanted to find a writing medium for my journals that wouldn’t fade after a few years. Some research led me to pencils. Some pencils led me to the Erasable Podcast, The rest, is history :)
You just inspire me! I really love all of your videos! I have been binge-watching them. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, love and passion. I love your heart and soul for sharing it beautifully and eloquently. It's just infectious that I want to collect and gift beautiful pencils. There was a time I used to my journals and ideas in pencil too and I used to say: "I will pencil it in my journal so I can ink it in actions"
I have a ton of old pencils. I love pencils. It's hard to find real wood pencils that aren't particle board or 2 halves glued together or wrapped in plastic.. ugh. They jam up your sharpner and you cant stick them in your hair or thru your bun without pulling your hair out! I'm picky as hell about pencils.
LOL the music in this video as the old beaten and outcast pencils are described makes me think they are compared to human orphans, abandoned senior citizens, or just oppressed people. They are like the old Jews who are telling their grandchildren about how when they were children they escaped through the parted red sea from the pursuing chariots of the Egyptian pharaoh.
This was such a gorgeous story. It's folks like you that still make corners of the internet worthwhile :)

Woah! A pencil vending machine? Unheard of!
I have a few of those
This piece is bordering on avant garde. I remain a long time subscriber not for a love of pencils, but for your high level of execution. bravo

Nice pencil!

Lovely, meditative, poetic. Well done.

As a pencil afficianado, after watching this I can easily say that; if love for pencils was a religion, you'd be the prophet.
If you haven't already submitted this to a festival, I beg you to. For the love of god do it for the children.
What festival? Any suggestions ('
@@WoodGraphite Any short movie festival. Maybe it is still possible.
Pencilvania.! My favorite place on earth.
Thank you, that was poetic.
I thought I was the only one that thought like this. Amazing! Everyone thinks I'm crazy lol

I didn't come here to have an existential crisis from pencils and yet here we are.
This literally made me cry and I don't like that.
Beautiful.
Amazing
Loved this video! Subbed👍🏼
Thanks!
My friend, you've done the impossible, you've made pencils interesting to me. Hooked and subscribed brother.

"Sit down Bob"
What about the Volvo pen?
I love staedtler. German Staedtlers are best.
Are you going to use them?
I now am only using pencils,and colored pencils.
Lovely
I used to collect pencils I lost them all 😞

You’re stickin’ them all in your electric pencil sharpener to “clean them up” right? 😳
They aint saying nothin. Snitches get splinted.
