I'm never gonna look at a pencil the same again. Idk why this video just makes me value my pencil more
I totally get you
funnyvideosIG there is a reason why I've loved pencils
me either. you're seeing people working hard to make that. i look to the pencil and try to think about the process to make that
Yeah same
Yea lol
When i was a kid having Faber-Castell pencils was sort of like a status symbol
And having a Mongol makes you medium class, while having locally made pencils is- well, you know
here in india too. when i was in school i used to buy faber castel pencils, erasers, ruler etc. it was a feeling of proud because my classmates used local pencils.😅
Truee
@@nanmun1112 same! I like the products just because they are faber castell. But most of my classmates had either Staedtler or Faber castel
@@sharkddududdudu1679 steadtler brand is not found in india...faber castel is here. during my school days faber castell was a new brand in india most students used indian brands like 'natraj', 'apsara'
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.
Repetitive tedious work like nearly all factory jobs .
Do you have any idea what 'hard work' is ? Please think before commenting
@@davepowell7168 well, actually, not 1 person does all the work, the work is usually divided into 10s of smaller works
@@davepowell7168 is this the reply for me or someone else please.
The first school exam was never about how pencils are made. So the pencils does grows from trees. All the schools has signed the top secret deal with the pencil makers, it’s the Area 51.
I have never been more invested in the pencil-making process as I am now.

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 KZhead channel until now
Nobody knew. Until KZhead recommendation happens.

Well me neither but apparently youtube wanted us to discover it
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).
Such a beautiful story….❤
Wow, just imagine if Fabercastle decides to make a commercial out of this story, opening scene a child preparing for traveling, teary-eyed people gifting the pencils set... years later, you show up on the camera holding the old vintage original set with your children playing around with new ones ... it is gonna be a hiiiit

Then we started asking , if it’s this tricky, then why they even bother to give the pencils their “car body paintworks?!”, we had to use the swearing word of MTHR FVKERS in this one!
It seems to me that this automated production process of making pencils is incredible, the fact that it also applies quality control (an inspection) before if gets sent off.
a lot more labour involved that I imagined. but that equipment was paid for decades ago!!! still surprised that the price point can stay so low with all these involved steps and materials.

Thank you all the employees who make these wonderful pencils for us to use. I love them, and I appreciate them even more now. Love and blessings, Sandy
I grew up next to this fabrication and sometimes the whole neighbourhood smelled like pencils. 🙂 Depends on the wind. Back then in the 80s everyone living around Faber Castell worked there and I always had lots of scarce goods pencils given to me by neighbours that they could not sell because the print was overlayed or something. Then, like everywhere, staff was heavily reduced and my pencil well dryed up.
nowadays if the neighborhood smells from a factory they will have a problem with EPA or local DEC .
"And to this day, I still have my original set from more than 2 decades ago." - As their catchphrase says: "Companion for life" :)
Kids: Breaks Pencils Faber-Castell: Working so hard to make pencils.
Except that Faber Castell generally do not make pencils that are cheaply made like some pencils made in China.

Seeing how much effort goes into making pencils makes me feel bad for participating in pencil fights when I was 7 years old. Back then, a No. 2 Ticonderoga was about 10 cents.
These guys sounds so professional, happy and satisfiyed on their jobs... realistic.
You can hear only music, but none of the people saying anything. So what makes you thing "these guys sound* so professional"?
I still remember those days in school Having Faber Castle was like owning Mercedes of Pencils..
It still is

In India it's one of the cheaper brands. The elite one is staedler

Just. Amazing! It was great to see how the "best of the best" is made ...they're the only pencil I've used to sketch with, so this was very eye-opening. Thank you Faber-Castell!
Cool, thank you. I remember getting a box of Faber-Castell pencils, and being so happy and grateful. I still am, just watching this video took me back to the smell of the fresh pencils and the joy of holding a brand new smooth colour, ready to ✍🏽 draw , in my hand.

This video makes pencils look like they’re worth a lot more money then what we buy them for
Cassie A i agree so so much!!
ArtistGuitarist I meant the writing ones
Every product made on a industrial level deserves much more value than what we pay, for example, for starbucks Small pieces of metal and plastic are materials so hard to create without complex machinery but we just trash them as if they value nothing
No
The leads are deeper in color. Easier to put on the paper, and harder to snap. The writing ones are like $1.99 ea but they last if you look after them.

@@Tiffany_Cruz so not true for most of them! Most of these are for artists and are too expensive for school classrooms, so probably about 10% and only the triangle shaped ones which are meant for kids. For example what little kid would be using the Polychromos line in the first place?

Call me “nerdy”, but I love pencils! I would love to work at this pencil production plant! I was an estimator for a large commercial printing company for almost 30 years; people never saw me without a pencil behind my ear all those years, and it better have been a relatively new one with a sharp point! As a child, pencils were my favorite Christmas gifts, and “Santa” made sure I received regular and colored pencils every Christmas! I started giving my son pencils for gifts early on; he still has some of the “art sets “ he received as gifts! There’s something soothing about pencils; went through college and earned 2 engineering degrees using pencils! The only time I don’t use pencils is when I have to sign legal documents and then I have to use a genuine fountain pen (story for another time!). Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it!
I have brought the 48 colour pencil set of Faber-Castell before 6 years and to this date I can't bring myself to use it. I just keep it to look at and admire it.I manage with my used colour pencils. Beautifully crafted pencils.
I feel bad scraping the skin of the pencil with a ruler after seeing all the effort put into it
You must feel bad messing your thing..thos "things" needs an effort to finish it😎😎😎

The video production quality is just as impressive as the entire process itself. Mad respect to all those who work in manufacturing.
