Hi, This is my first Instructable so I might be a little discombobulated.
Tools:
Something sharp e.g, needle (I'm using the sharp end of a compass)
A leatherman/needle nose pliers.
A pencil.
That's it for the tools!
Step 1Stabbing with Sharp Thing
iImage Information

Okay, Now get the pencil onto a flat surface, wood. Get the sharp thing and go ahead and stab the pencil's side. (You can either jab it really fast or push it in to the wood.) You should do this on all sides. Also, there should be little holes where the sharp thing punctured the side of the pencil. It should look something like the photos below. Good, you're ready for the next step!
either way, not a protractor.
