How do you remove the lead from a pencil?

Question

When you get the stub etc to remove it from inside the wood

Answer 1

There used to be a lad in my class called Simon Breedon who used to nibble the wood off - give it to him!

Answer 2

you draw and write with it silly!!!

Answer 3

when a pencil is made, its made in 2 halves and a small groove cut in the middle of each half. the one half then goes through a glue machine and then the lead is inserted on the one half, then the second half is placed on top of the first half.

when the glue dries (usually a few Min's) then they go through a conveyor like system which then coats the pencils in special non toxic paint (as folks tend to put pencils in mouths!) and there you go.... a pencil.

it would be hard to split the pencil once glued together.

Answer 4

a pencil contains graphite, not lead

Answer 5

so you want only the wood part? or the graphite part? if the graphite part, you can use scissors or a swiss knife to cut the wood into shavings. it works!
