In this video, which Texas artist Bobby Duke calls “pencil inception”, he makes one pencil into three of successively smaller size. I found this video mesmerizing, though I’m not sure why:
Duke’s YouTube site has a bunch of other cool art videos; I’ll add another pencil-related one:
Very entertaining while I eat my stir fry. There are these really big pencils…
You might find this video of a pencil holder made from coloured pencil ends mesmerizing as well …

Bobby made Totoro out of an acorn HERE [keeper of the forest] & he has an eye for CATNESS
Neat.
That was so cool!!!
(And now you can see some of the skills needed to make those 1/12 table legs, though that was much, much more simple and basic than these.)
I like him! He’s silly. Notice his cat shirt?
