Salavat Fidai, 42, carves intricate mini sculptures on the end of a pencil. Carved entirely from lead, Fidai uses a craft knife and a 4x magnifying glass.

Just a recipe for heartbreak, that’s all I see.

That, my friend, was one of the funniest posts I’ve read in a LONG time. :-)

Lead pencils contain graphite, not lead.

But it is impressive. I wonder how many angels he can carve on the tip of a pencil?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who notices such things anymore.

By the way, it should have read "carved from graphite."

Amazing... Thanks for posting.

I’ve seen similar sized carvings in other, tougher materials....

But I can’t even keep from breaking a simple cone shape on the end of a pencil most of the time.

That is so cool. Thanks for the link and the pictures.

Use a bigger lump of black rock (not lead!) to carve
bigger stuff.

Wow.

I say to you ... It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a pencil carver to enter into the kingdom of cyberspace.
