      Is it slippage or the natural result of something smaller having to turn more than one revolution to cover the same distance?

        mhm no, the bic pen / german/japanese pencil are do actually block the return motion, it wont result in slippage. The american pencil is so thin that it at best can grap onto one or two spokes.

  You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.

  Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.

  You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

    exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.

  I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.
