You act like companies didn't use to do that before. In the 1910s a bunch of light bulb companies decided to make their light bulbs worse just so they will replace it more often. We have always been like this

This is so cool. Plus, most of the pencil still there. In Nigeria, as a kid, many of us simply used razor blades or box cutter knives to sharpen pencils since "sharpeners" just broke the lead or removed more wood. Nice to see 1890s folks solved this.
@@MR_FoffePencils used to be made with lead instead of graphite, and it's still common to refer to pencil graphite as "lead" even though it isn't. I imagine some pencils around the world are still made with it, though graphite is cheaper and more effective.
The engineering that went in to the simplest of things back then was just amazing. It seems like everything back then was made well with good materials, and made to last. Now everything is cheap, breaks in a year, and made in China.

Im surprised artists havent brought something like this back, seems like it could be ideal for being able to control the angle and get the perfect tip more easily than a knife or normal sandpaper
Why aren't these still a thing?? I remember having to sharpen my pencil for 10 minutes back in grade 6 because the damn electric sharpener always broke the lead
That's assuming schools are using both modern and good quality sharpeners, but they do not lol. Many of my schools still had sharpeners from the mid to late 1900s. Even the electric ones we had were very cheap. You haven't seen good sharpeners until you've visited an art store/depot. Schools have no reason to buy $100 sharpeners if cheap ones work well enough.
@@mycelia_owhey a.i. chatbot shut up already you aren't human so you don't know reality exists, today's sharpeners are an absolute joke. Feel free to delete ypurself too so we don't get anymore bs online that's pure lies.
@@TENNSUMITSUMAthe point is modern sharpeners are great and even better than old ones. The old ones were probably 100 dollars for their time and the school ones were probably 1 dollar for their time.
I think that might just be an issue of kids in your classroom breaking it, I've never had an issue with a pencil sharpener that has actually been taken care of properly
@ullasbabu1732 I would imagine a gear that rides between the wooden pole and the bearing. The pole is smooth, though, so I don't understand the friction method, which is strong enough to maintain against the friction of the sharpening.
I have a $120 sharpener. Extremely sharp blades and it's better than anything you've ever seen in any school. No maintenance required either, unlike this clunky large thing.
The Tru-Point rotary lead pointer, created in the 1950s, used the inverse of this same principle. Instead of pushing the pencil linearly, you rotate the eccentrically mounted pencil and it rubbed around the abrasive to sharpen the pencil. Same great point, in a far smaller size device. But this was the basis for it.
At lunch one I was writing and needed to sharpen my pencil so my girlfriend (we were in elementary 😂) gave me an earring to peel the wood back with using the sharp part 😅
I'm a builder of 25 yeears experience on the tools. I only ever sharpen pencils with a chemically sharpened knife blade. Every single perfect pencil point is a 5 second hand carving. I just don't have a room for a pencil sharpener in my tool belt. That would be kind of weird if I carried one.
There's probably a reason you're told to buy that tool. I'd bet you a regular, modern pencil sharpener is a fraction of the cost of that, even if you just charged for the cost of materials, and it works just as well. Probably quicker, even.
I grew up in a house built in 1910. There was a very old crank style pencil sharpener that looked like the ones you see in classrooms today in the house when we moved in. That thing sharpened faster and always put a better point on the pencil than classroom ones.
It's like with mechanical and membrane keyboards, sure 99% of us use membrane keyboards, which by all accounts are the newer form of the tech. This is mostly cause they're generally more affordable and even typically the stock standard you might find in a store, but mechanical keyboards despite being older tech, are objectively better... The key thing though, the only people who will then invest into a mechanical keyboard are the people who are ingrained into something that would make them care about its benefits. This pencil sharpener is incredible from what we see, but it's also clearly a design crafted for use by someone who really cares enough to get one... Which at the time it was made would probably be a majority of people who write anyway.
As a person who draws a lot and keeps struggling with pencil sharpeners to the point of my pencils becoming little stubs within weeks of getting them, I *need* this
Just get a good clutch pencil with good lead. Sharpens easier, allows for customizable lead length and wont leave pencil shavings. Also the pencil wont shorten when shaved, and its cheaper in the long run.

You act like companies didn't use to do that before. In the 1910s a bunch of light bulb companies decided to make their light bulbs worse just so they will replace it more often. We have always been like this
@@whyiseverysinglehandletaken2 I don’t act like anything, I’m saying a majority of things today are made to break now and days. And that light bulb thing still exist today🤣 it hasn’t gone anywhere. Back then most things people needed had to be hand crafted…made to last. They didn’t have the money to go out and buy these things constantly. Even today in parts of the world that exist today so my comment could go either way. But keeping an open mind is key to a greater perspective.
I tried this before. Not the device but the technique. If you rub a pencil on paper at the right angle, it will sharpen the pencil
I swear older pencil sharpeners are always better than new ones

This is so cool. Plus, most of the pencil still there. In Nigeria, as a kid, many of us simply used razor blades or box cutter knives to sharpen pencils since "sharpeners" just broke the lead or removed more wood. Nice to see 1890s folks solved this.
Same is said for the USA, these modern sharpeners are pretty bad

@@prestonOpieponits so they can buy more lol
I'm sorry, lead?
@@MR_FoffePencils used to be made with lead instead of graphite, and it's still common to refer to pencil graphite as "lead" even though it isn't. I imagine some pencils around the world are still made with it, though graphite is cheaper and more effective.
The engineering that went in to the simplest of things back then was just amazing. It seems like everything back then was made well with good materials, and made to last.
Now everything is cheap, breaks in a year, and made in China.

I dont get it this is way better then sharpners we have now days

There’s a device called a “pencil pointer” that just makes the very tip pointier. Helps to make the pencil last longer

We need this back, pencil sharpeners are always broken now 😔
maybe because yall break the tip off of pencils inside of the sharpener and don't bother to unclog it
@@firstletterofthealphabet7308 bro do not be victim blaming, even after they are unclogged they never sharpen right after the 5th run.

"Hey man, got a pencil sharpener?"

Perhaps old-fashioned items are better than modern ones.
That's assuming schools are using both modern and good quality sharpeners, but they do not lol. Many of my schools still had sharpeners from the mid to late 1900s. Even the electric ones we had were very cheap. You haven't seen good sharpeners until you've visited an art store/depot. Schools have no reason to buy $100 sharpeners if cheap ones work well enough.

@@TENNSUMITSUMAthe point is modern sharpeners are great and even better than old ones. The old ones were probably 100 dollars for their time and the school ones were probably 1 dollar for their time.
If a whole classroom full of children used this thing all day, it wouldn’t last a week. But at least you speculated, right?
Still better than most sharpeners nowadays
This is more useful then the giant automated pencil sharpeners that you find in classrooms like half the time they don’t even work
I think that might just be an issue of kids in your classroom breaking it, I've never had an issue with a pencil sharpener that has actually been taken care of properly
Do you have giant sharpeners in school? 😮
@@Jakub_kowalksi Nope but the sharpeners over shapes the pencils causing them to break in the sharpener
Why tf did we even motorize this 💀
@Rurouni Kenshin I'm so confused by both of your comments??
Most motorized use a flighting or auger type cutter. Then the lame ass broken razor in a box. This file idea I'm on board may use sandpaper
It takes less room and people are lazy.
@Rurouni Kenshin Most school teacher across the globe as well as just about every pencil pushing office job.
Motorize? Fancy af. I had a piece of plastic with a shtty razor blade that always broke the tip
The rotation of the pencil, as it slides along the track, is the really impressive part of this build, very cool.
But how? Bearings?
@ullasbabu1732 I would imagine a gear that rides between the wooden pole and the bearing. The pole is smooth, though, so I don't understand the friction method, which is strong enough to maintain against the friction of the sharpening.
imagine rolling to your class with that thing in your bag. Absolute class
As a person from 1890, I can agree we used this and it’s better than modern sharpeners 👌🏼

Best pencil sharpener I've ever seen.
Its only downside is size, but for a desk it's perfect.
This is 10x better than most sharpeners you get today
Fr
Get off your high horse😂 electric sharpeners are still 100X better
Now - small size, easily use, less hardwork with low prices in different frames 🎉
It's not, you've not even used one, or an expensive sharpener from today. Otherwise you wouldn't be saying that 😂
I have a $120 sharpener. Extremely sharp blades and it's better than anything you've ever seen in any school. No maintenance required either, unlike this clunky large thing.
The Tru-Point rotary lead pointer, created in the 1950s, used the inverse of this same principle. Instead of pushing the pencil linearly, you rotate the eccentrically mounted pencil and it rubbed around the abrasive to sharpen the pencil. Same great point, in a far smaller size device. But this was the basis for it.
When sometimes I couldnt find my sharpner and was getting late from my school my grandma used to sharp my pencils with a knife. I still remember that!
At lunch one I was writing and needed to sharpen my pencil so my girlfriend (we were in elementary 😂) gave me an earring to peel the wood back with using the sharp part 😅
I'm a builder of 25 yeears experience on the tools. I only ever sharpen pencils with a chemically sharpened knife blade.
Every single perfect pencil point is a 5 second hand carving.
I just don't have a room for a pencil sharpener in my tool belt. That would be kind of weird if I carried one.

Mine too, but by mom.
Is that weird for you?
Company considering making a pencil sharpener in 1890 - "Ok, we're going to need an expert carpenter, an engineer, a steel worker..."
I mean, replace carpenter with machinist or injection molding technician and that's still pretty much the team you'd need
And then, planned obsolescence came.
Actulie, its just a handy man, this is made by alittle of evry kind of intel.

How sharp would you want your pencil sir?
“Yes”
Sharp enough to draw a line between space and time
“Hey bro do you got a pencil sharpner?”
“yeah let me just-“
Proof that the best tool isn't always the one used. The tool used is the one that you are told to buy.
Cheaper and smaller, I think today's better tbh
There's probably a reason you're told to buy that tool. I'd bet you a regular, modern pencil sharpener is a fraction of the cost of that, even if you just charged for the cost of materials, and it works just as well. Probably quicker, even.
I grew up in a house built in 1910. There was a very old crank style pencil sharpener that looked like the ones you see in classrooms today in the house when we moved in. That thing sharpened faster and always put a better point on the pencil than classroom ones.
It's like with mechanical and membrane keyboards, sure 99% of us use membrane keyboards, which by all accounts are the newer form of the tech. This is mostly cause they're generally more affordable and even typically the stock standard you might find in a store, but mechanical keyboards despite being older tech, are objectively better... The key thing though, the only people who will then invest into a mechanical keyboard are the people who are ingrained into something that would make them care about its benefits. This pencil sharpener is incredible from what we see, but it's also clearly a design crafted for use by someone who really cares enough to get one... Which at the time it was made would probably be a majority of people who write anyway.
this is the kind of sharpener I need at school, but I don't need a pencil case EVEN MORE

Use a cutter or a knife they are good tools for that and they do not hurt the graphite mine
Just get a good clutch pencil with good lead. Sharpens easier, allows for customizable lead length and wont leave pencil shavings. Also the pencil wont shorten when shaved, and its cheaper in the long run.
