Couldn"t find the pencil sharpener
No CNC either. Just a lathe , pin jaws and a skew.

Well the lathe will be harder to miss place than a pencil sharpener.

Battery drill & a bit of sandpaper would have worked.

I nearly set fire to my workbench with mine. (The sharpener, not the lathe)
It was in the bottom of a plastic cup with all the pencils & I tossed a spare 9V battery in there. (So I knew where it was)
Anyway, the blade of the sharpener shorted across the battery terminal & the plastic got hot & it all started to melt & smoke.
Couple of different sorts of plastic, wooden pencils, wooden work bench... could have been a disaster.Cliff.

Dad's definition of a sharp chisel was sharp enough to sharpen your pencil with. He didn't have a lathe though.

Look at it again.
That pencil is nowhere near sharp!
Sharpening a pencil on your average lathe is a very complex issue.
First, we have to define "sharp" and probably "pencil". We can possibly accept "lathe" to mean lathe, but then again...
When my great grandfather taught me to sharpen pencils, he always said "Pencil sharpening is an art, not a science, therefore, we must believe in the pencil". He was an idiot.
Personally, I would start with perhaps a 60 grit paper and proceed through about 35 stages to a 1500 grit paper before going on to wet sanding with micromesh pads and then some plastic polish and prehaps Brasso or Kitten #2 to finish. Then again, you could buy buy a pencil sharpener.
That would be nofun at all.____________________________________________________________
