The Art of Galaxy Pencils: A Journey of Creativity and Triumph

As we embark on this journey, it's essential to acknowledge that stress is inevitable. We're about to create something extraordinary – galaxy pencils that will leave you speechless. The process may seem daunting, but trust us, the end result will be worth it.

We begin with a preview of our creation, a moment of anticipation before we dive into the actual crafting. The excitement is palpable as we take the first step towards bringing this vision to life. We're not just creating pencils; we're creating something that will represent our triumph over adversity.

The journey begins with doling out a precise amount of glitter – yes, you read that right, glitter! It's a crucial element in giving our galaxy pencils their signature sparkle. As we mix the ingredients together, we can't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness about what will come next. The color-changing effect is just one aspect of this experiment, but it's a reminder that even the smallest details can make a significant impact.

The key to success lies in maintaining control over the process. We're not just relying on luck; we're using scientific methods to ensure that our pencils turn out exactly as we envision them. This level of precision is what sets us apart from others and makes our galaxy pencils truly unique.

One crucial step in the process involves adding an eraser to each pencil. It may seem like a small detail, but it's this finishing touch that will make all the difference. The mission is clear: create pencils that are not only functional but also visually stunning. With every twist and turn, we're one step closer to achieving our goal.

As we reflect on our journey so far, it's essential to acknowledge the power of creativity. Our galaxy pencils represent more than just a physical object; they symbolize the triumph over adversity and the importance of taking risks. It's this mindset that will drive us forward as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible.

Now, let's take a moment to appreciate our creation – three beautiful galaxy pencils that embody everything we stand for. Each pencil is a testament to our creativity, precision, and determination. Whether you're an artist, writer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty in life, these pencils are sure to inspire you.

We must acknowledge the Supurrvisor's involvement throughout this process. While they may not have provided direct approval, their presence has been felt throughout every step of the journey. It's a reminder that even the smallest gestures can make a significant impact.

As we bring our creation to life, it's essential to remember that there's always room for improvement. The clear pencil is a particular standout, with its unique color-changing effect and gleaming surface. It's this attention to detail that sets us apart from others and makes our galaxy pencils truly one-of-a-kind.

The final product is not just about aesthetics; it's about the experience it provides. Whether you're using it for artistic purposes or simply enjoying the feel of the wood, each pencil has been crafted with care and precision. It's this attention to detail that makes our galaxy pencils a true masterpiece.

As we share our creation with others, we must remember that there's always room for growth and improvement. The journey may have come to an end, but the possibilities are endless. With our galaxy pencils as inspiration, we'll continue to push the boundaries of what's possible and create something truly extraordinary.

And so, let us cherish this moment – a celebration of creativity, triumph, and the power of bringing our vision to life. As we gaze upon our creation, we're reminded that even the smallest ideas can become something truly remarkable with dedication, precision, and a willingness to take risks.

(laughs)Don't actually scrapethe sides of this one,because that's where somelike unmixed elements can be.You see?YeahRight there?That's why it's best practiceto do another bucket.Ready for vacuum time?Yes.Come on bubblesBubble, bubble, toil and troubleor is it Bubble bubble,bubble and bubble?(laughs)That's more accurate honestly.What's interesting isstarting it's been expandingand now starting to sinkagain, as the bubbles pop moreIt's alive.It's Alive, withEvan and Katelyn(laughs)Sorry, Brad, we'vetaken your show.I think that's goodYeahGoing well, getting this readyto pour, so don't introduceany more air bubbles.Yeah.Actually, I'm gonna bringthe stepping stool back.(laughs)Okay, babyThere we go.So I will say we haven'tchecked this box for weeks.If it does start leaking,we'll bust with the duct tapeand lightly panic.It really use upthe whole thing.I think that the volume ofthose pencils should be morethan what's left.What do you think?I don't know.I think so too.Oh, this is the partI've been so excited for.So Evan's box, he 3dprinted this earlierand it's not just abox, it's a fancy boxthat contains the pencils.It keeps them straight,evenly spaced.That's all it does.Ready?Yeah.Oh my gosh.It's gonna let it sinkslowly and gently inis not enough.Not enough, we might needto actually scrape itI'm just realizingYeah, we mightneed to scrape it.Oh no. Oh, this is what Iwanted to avoid happening.No, everything wasgoing so smooth.Yeah, I think weneeded it though.I think so tooIts so clean, it'sgonna be so perfect.It's fine, it's fine.(laughs)It's fine.My VisionIt's fine, It's fine.It'll all come off.Oh, that's probably fine.Squish it on down.Oh no.I think you're okay.the one guy trying to popup little whack-a-molesOh my gosh, arethey gonna float?They're totally gonnafloat, look at themYou will stay downThey might be slightly different(laughs)because I have one guywho's really enthusiastic.YeahCan we just likeshove a pencil in?Okay, cool,I push them downI can't reachthe internet right nowI shove that down enoughand now it's grabbed.All right soundsexactly as planned.We'll see you guys in uh...tomorrow.Evan just told me to grabmy mic again, what happened?The mold release,No! God dangit!(Distorted voice) Don't letus forget the mold releaseon the pencilsif we forget that, I dunnoif we can get them out.We even said it.Okay, we can take them outand we can do new pencils.We don't have any extra siliconeand taking the pencils outwill take out silicon with it.We're gonna end upwith short pencils.We only have fourminutes until this setsDo you think thatthe mold release-Do you think the pencilswill not stick maybe?they're slightly shiny.Not the wood though.really rough.Yeah, so they're gonnagrip on the wood.That won't be bad, butthe pencil is shiny.So we can either doone of two things,we can remove the pencils,squeegee them off,put in new ones, tryto not add any bubbles.And then the shorterpencils, which isn't ideal,we might mess upthe entire thingBecause we havetwo minutes left.Yeah.Big danger because we don'thave enough silicone leftto do another four,or leaving them asis also a big dangerbecause when wetry to remove them,it might rip the entire mold.But I think we'veforgotten the mold releasehow many times now?So many timesAnd it's turned out,okay, every time?I don't knowMost of the time, we sayoh no, we forgotthe mold release.We hope for the bestand it turns out okay,so I think that'swhat we should do.Send us your luck.So did you level it? No.Did you do mold release? NoIt's gonna be okayI hope (laughs)Okay, so we lefteveryone and ourselveson a cliffhanger inthe last episode,Because we forgotthe mold release.So now's a moment of truth.Can we get thesepencils out of here?Or do we have to start over?Did we just delay thisproject by three days?Or more?It's chonky!Oh no, we're not evenable to get it off.Actually we won't be able tobecause this is lockedin by the pencils.I think you can like, justbreak the pencil (laughs)More about design flaw.You just oh, this poor guy(laughs)Just ripped his head offA little bit of adesign flaw there.Just like I intended.Oh, no.Oh no?There's no budge.Can I try?I have a way to gently persuadeWant to go out with the pliers?You can tryNormally in molds like this,there's a little bitof a draft angle,but we couldn't really getthat with pencils, right?Well, yeah, cuz there'sstraight up and down.That's why this wassuch a risky onethat we really neededthe mold release.Okay, I'm getting alittle bit of separation,but I also don'twanna break thisbecause if I break thisoff, it will be stuckIf the pencil breaks off,the only way we can getout is by cutting it.Worst case scenario, could we--Cut the silicone?We don't have too muchexperience with that,we'd end up with a,Look at that.There is some separation.You know that like hot, sweaty,nervous feeling you get?YeahTwo things we can do right now.We can give up, wecan keep on tryingor we try something new.I wanna see if I canremove the entire moldfrom this withoutdestroying it too much.Okay, so the downsideof doing this is thatwe had to remake themold, now, there's a seamWe had to 3d printa new mold box now.Yeah, so like we're even deeper.Okay.Now that I've done that,what do I do next?I don't know, you're the onethat came up with this planand started cutting on itI thought I could justlike, push it, you know?No, because there'sno mold releaseon the inside of the box either.Is it released?NoI think I might destroy the box.Just like every step we takeis increasing the amountof work we have to redo.Yep.If it all fails,Ready?Free the brickOh oh (laughs)It's jiggly (laughs)Oh yeah, yeaha little bit likemassage 'em out?Yeah, look at that, look at thatso much more freedom in them.Come on.Oh, please.Oh, come on.I've freed you so good.There's nothing to grip.Why is it so squishy?I have a weird question.What if we get our syringesand inject some oil?Might be hard to get theoil out afterwards butis it really...Yeah, I mean, we'll be inthere but like people put,like oil isn't that differentfrom mold release, right?and people put moldrelease in their molds.Little syringes, justlike vegetable oil?And that's it.A neutral oil?ScienceScience Adjacentwith Evan and KatelynAll right doctor, weneed 20 milliliters ofVegetable oil stat(laughs)Not what I expected to bedoing the Friday eveningJust injectingvegetable oil into ourresin pencil moldsCan we like *squishymouth noises*I want it to like getworked down you knowprobably just made thepencil more slipperylike at the top wherewe need to grip itany difference?(all exclaiming)Vegetable oil!!!!I feel like I'm King Arthur,You're the chosen one.(laughs)We did itOh my god, I'm so relievedWe should think abouthow we're gonna getthe resin ones outsame wayLittle bit of lubeand we need somethingto grab hold on,I almost like wanna likeembed a metal eye hookin itSomething that's likestrong enough to grabbut weak enough that wecan cut it off later.Yeah like a screwyeahwe can cut it offwith a little zip zipthat's a good idea.Look at us learningWowoh I was so worried y'allokay let's popthese other boys outon the other sideOh here we goThat's great, this theone I'm worried aboutThis guy does nothave much left to gripCome on little guy, yeahThe project is in aroller coaster of emotionsSo we have the moldall ready to go.So next up before westart pouring resin,oh my gosh Katelyn smack that.(smacks)Before we do anyresin we need toacquire lead.The easiest way that wethought of is just to take itfrom all of these pencilsthat we have.So we have something thatwe pre prepared last nightand we'll see if it works.It's a water bottlefull of pencils.Wood, it's fibrous,when wood gets wet,it becomes more flexible.I'm so excited.So can we remove thewood from these pencilswithout breaking the lead?So let's see if it's softenough to crack the woodwithout breaking the lead.I see the same Oh, when I gothis way, Look, see the same?They're working?It might be working.Let me do this all the way down.Yeah.And then try to separate them.Can I have a razor?

towhen we yank it out.So we went ahead andtrimmed the lead down tothe right length, hotglued these metal screws onand re 3d printed anenclosure to hold it all rigidand--Also because we had todestroy the first box.So the idea is we're gonnafill this all with resinand then lower this assembly in.So that means,(both singing) Resin time.So here's our game plan,we're gonna do one pencilthat is totally clearbecause that just seems reallycool and satisfying to see.Evan is gonna do one designand I'm gonna do one design.I wanna be doing a galaxyusing pearlescent pigment.And I will be doingactually unintentionallyvery similar colors, but I'mgonna be doing alcohol inkswhich are a little bit more(laughs)a little bit more translucent,this to see you knowhow it differs,How it compares.Okay, so this should beenough to fill up the center,I hope.Yeah, let's see ifwe measured right.Okay, Katelyn, you're up.YesDid you double glove?NoWho are you?Most beautiful, nice.Oh, that's a bubble.I'm gonna pretendlike the bubbles arepart of my aesthetic.Sure you gonna gofor a layered look?You know, I don't havetoo much of a plan.(laughs)Oh, they're mixingin there nice.Some I might do just as layers.I'm

works.One thing I just realizedwe use holographic littleGlitter?Glitter.(laughs)holographic glitter.I worry like what if theysettled all at the bottom?It's a glitter gradient.It's fine, it's cool.I think we'll justliterally break this offBreak the 3d print, Yeah,we're gonna try the same methodwe did for thepencils themselves.And squirt some vegetableoil down in there, Okay.I feel like theyare properly greasedbut it should be easierbecause this time we havesomething better to grip onto.That is so dang cool.That's greatKinda looks like a pen.Oh I picked up thetexture of the woodLove this is probablygonna be coolerthan either the ones wemade, the clear is so coolit has a nice weight to itit's a little bit heavierthan a normal pencil like a tadGlue like twisty twistyOh yeah,Yeah Yeah.Oh it's not as transparentas I thought it would bebut you can still seethe lead slightly.The tip is the coolestpart, look at the glitterlike embedded in it.This is the most sparklyand the most opaquethat's not a word againgalaxy looks the galaxyishjust wish that I hadthat had like more flaresof light color,But I still thinkit's really cool.Yeah, I'm happy with it.
