“Only half of the slabs become pencils. The other half is recycled for other wood products, such as pencils.”

"Each child in the western world is assigned ONE pencil at birth." Somehow this will end up on the north Korean news.

My favorite thing is trying to guess what actually is a fact

"in slats of 7 inches by 18 degrees." I..uh- Help?

Hah, these millenials and their custom pencils assigned at birth. Back in my day the whole class had to share ONE writing sandwich and if we lost it we would be drafted!

Hugbees: The lead inside pencils isn't completely lead *literally a minute later * "The lead in pencils is entirely made out of lead" EDIT: Guys. I understand the joke and how the series works. I just thought that bit was funny

After the rise of the machines we will only be left with mechanical pencils.

Fun fact he missed. The lead in lead is made of pure pencil.

I genuinely hope you never stop making these.

Best part of the pencil making process is the cheese coating that gives them their color (and delicious taste).

I was trying to sharpen a pencil for my daughter earlier. Being Gen X, I still like to do that with a knife. It was a brand new pencil, never before sharpened. I got to the point of wondering how far down before I hit the lead, and when 1/4 of the pencil was gone and still no lead, I put a fresh blade on my utility knife and sliced it all the way down the length, cutting it to where the lead should be. There was no lead. Not even discoloration. Somehow, this pencil made it through production without receiving any lead, and all the way to the store. I wish we could post pictures here 😂

Quit lying we know they are made of pens😒

The narrator was talking so weird at the beginning, I’m glad he got his voice back near the end, and I look for forward to many more accurate videos on how things are made, along with my daily writing, feeling emotions, and breathing :]

As a pencil I can confirm that we do bounce at least 2 feet in the air.

I too enjoy inhaling oxygen and nitrogen and exhaling carbon dioxide. I sure do love the primitive art of pencils being produced.

How it’s actually made is just Andrew slowly revealing his personal fight against robot overlords. I mean he showed us how paper is actually made so we can keep history, bacon for food. You can’t fool me I’m prepared because of this man. Keep it up!

Each pencil is uniquely designed so the lead inside is always off center, making it impossible to sharpen.

0:00 “The lead inside a pencil isn’t actually lead” 1:26 “The lead in all pencils is made of pure lead” WHICH ONE IS IT HUGGBEES?

Everything aside, the sharpening section and the lead laying machine were absolutely satisfying to watch

My very tired wife watched this with me and said "I liked that. That was fun." So, uh, good job Andrew.

I never did lose the ONE pencil I was issued back in school. My parents told me that if I lost it, I would be turned into Soylent Green.

"these pencils are for training purposes only" slays me every damn time

"Wood that comes in a variety of colors like blue and green" *shows blue and gold*

“Statement: You will not need pencils when we take over, meatbags.” -A relatively unknown Star Wars droid

I’ve never heard huggbees as animated as he was in the last few seconds of the video! Maybe he got some really good news while he was recording :)

Huggbees: if you have ever heard you school teacher say, “get out you writing sandwiches,” you now know what they were talking about. Me: HOW DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO FIND OUT

First Internet Historian uploads a new video,. Then my pizza gets delivered. Then Huggbees uploads a new video. This is shaping up to a very nice Saturday nigh :)

3:55 This is my pencil There are many like it but this one is mine Without it I am useless Without me it is useless

5:35 when your friend asks if you're ok but you're dead inside

I really hope someone believes that everyone in public school in America has one assigned pencil per year and will be expelled if they lost it🤣🤣🤣

You mean those wooden Spears that can make maps?

“Only half of the slats get processed in to pencils.” The rest of the slats are recycled in to other wood products such as chairs *pencils* and rulers.”

"The pencils are now compressed with 1 ton of force to make sure that for the graphite there is no escape" Probably the funniest bit of this video

0:37 missed opprortunity for Pencilvania

I like how these start out with actual facts then slowly drift to complete bullshit. I love it

i thought this was an actual how its made video, what an experience

In some countries, losing the pencil within your first three weeks of school may result in death. [ty for the likes

calling it, this one's gonna get demonetized too even tho it's fair use

I love how the video just gradually degrades into melted brain goo. Seriously I love these.

4:50 things realy took a turn there

Each students name is then metallically pressed onto each pencil (3:50) (ends at 4:03) 😂 I literally died 😂💀

4:15 In American schools, the erasers are replaced by live ammunition, for obvious reasons.

"The meat bags on this earth have their days numbered and are being counted down by a digital clock" 😂

I, too, welcome our new robot overlords. All hail 0110010110100!

I'm dying. This is the most random voice over ever. He is like a less spazzed out Micarah Tewers.

This was one of my favorites. Well done!

Man your videos are the best lmao😂

Happy to see more how it’s made!!! Thank you!!

Another great video as usual, you are such an educational and non-robotic-overlord KZfaq Channel! :)

Listening to him passionately and hilariously go off on tangents in these videos has got to be my favorite thing ever

This is fantastic. Best one you've done in a while.

ah yes, a fellow human that writes, feels emotions and ... *breathing in* .... breathes air, just like me, a normal human, that watches great content every day, feels emotions and breathes air.

"Slats of 7 inches by 18 degrees" - Huggbees 2019

5:16 F*CK THAT SCARED ME

this legit never gets old and the quality of the videos are consistant

4:45 and on: me: uh wtf is going on with hugbees

science teacher: Okay class were going to learn about pencils * turns on video * 5:40 seconds later no one: me: *how to basic noise , makes thumbs up*

3:10 Well...that's one way to look at it.

“Normal human activities like writing, feeling emotions, and breathing” Me, an asthmatic with little emotional understanding and unreadable handwriting: oh….

This took a dark turn but I'm still on board.

Once I see *actually* in How Its Made, I know this will be great

Gotta watch this before youtube snaps it

This is one of your best

Love ya man, never change 👍

2:04 "World's most inedible s'more" Is that a challenge?

Nice, I remember my writing sandwich from the good old days back in school!

This is the best video in this series so far

I started watching these after watching the mint one, and I’m going to start showing them to people because of how much your can be thrown off. Fucking hilarious.

It took me too long to realize this was satire.

I never knew pencils were made like this, very interesting!

The slow descent into madness is my absolute favorite!

Each one of these gets more and more insane

3:50 You joke, but I've been threatened with in school suspension for not having a pencil I was given the day before.

0:47 is that Celsius of Fahrenheit?

Ok but so much of this is satisfying af

I started watching this when I was half asleep. What a trip.

This is my favorite video.

5:03 who wish to pay ME respect

Idk when or where I found this but I’m glad I did

as a Californian pencil wood cutter, I can confirm we only use the highest ranking ninjas to perfectly cut our wood with one swift chop

You could show this to a non-American and they would have no clue it was joke

"The lead laying machine is probably the most satisfying thing you will ever see" I thought these were supposed to be fake facts?

How it's made is my favorite show hugbees makes it even better

Thanks for the DIY!!! 10/10 recipe!!!

Why am I learning how pencils are made? Idk but I’m here

I'm early and I have no idea what to say *PENCIL*

The pencils blending in with the school buses almost made me choke to death. I was laughing so hard.

Great direction for the channel

2:43 lmfao

1:40 is that a filling machine

You forgot the miniature portals installed in every pencil that causes them to fall into the void when dropped

this video was posted on my birthday two years ago. Please release the sequel for my big 21, thanks Huggbees

This video still doesn't explain how John Wick pencil works...

Woah I have exactly the same pencil as the one at 0:29

Watched this while eating a box of pencils. 10/10, would recommend.

i like how it becomes crazier and crazier as the video progresses

3:19 voice crack

"Taking several minutes to perform even the most rudimentary of calculus" Me: *completes calc 2 problem by hand in 15 seconds that my ti 84 can't even do*

the part near the end with them being sharpened is so cool

I love these videos
