SAMPLE SPECIFICS:

•        Graphite, a black mineral; is ground and mixed with clay and water resulting to the raw graphite dough. The dough is then placed inside a machine known as the forming press in order to form the inside functional part of the pencil--a graphite rod. These thin, cylindrical, black rods are cut just about the size of a pencil to form the pencil leads. These leads are dried in order to harden. After a certain period, the dried leads are placed inside an oven heated to about 800 ‘C. On the other hand, the wooden cases enclosing each lead is made out of lumber; which are cut to  form slats. Each slat is further cut to form grooves where the lead could fit. Another set is made to make up the other half of the group to entirely cover the pencil lead. Each pair of grooved wooden slat is glued on top of each other with the lead at the middle; resembling a sandwich. The slats are further cut into rough cylindrical pieces. In order to form the smoothened final product, the pieces are fitted into a shaping machine.

After fitting each raw pencil into a shaping machine; the resultant smooth, finished pencil is ready to be used.
