There is a video on youtube on that. As for the pencils try school supplies or ebay as a last resort.
 
My wife is an art teacher, so i get a mix of short pencils from many diff manufacturers. I trim to approx 3/4" stand them up in a blank mold and cast them in Alumilite. I prefer to tint the Alumilte with a color for pens and I powder coat my tubes. I also cast them in a round mold with clear for pendents.
 
If you want the hexagonal ones, shop art supplies. The round ones are for school kids.

Have not seen octagonal ones that I remember
 
As these coloured pencil blanks are another part of my learning curve, as I'never heard of them before, can I have a link to finished pens with them please. Unfortunately I couldn't find the original video mentioned in the clip John T' link.

Thank you,

Tony Wells.
 
I recently bought a couple of packages of hexagonal colored pencils at a dollar store - cheaper than any place else.
 
I got mine at Michael's crafts.
