Thanks for the article link; but in the future please consider linking to the main arxiv page[1], not a specific PDF. The direct link will become outdated if a new version of the paper is uploaded; also, the main page will contain a lot of useful data about the publication (citations/etc), will include the abstract in the page, and give a choice of what format you read it in. 1. http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.1938

The first issue you'll run into is that the graphite grains they are using "several tens of micrometers grain size graphite powder" [1]. It might not be straightforward to make that from a pencil, but you could buy the powder online. I've not read the full paper so there might be more significant barriers to trying this at home, but it looks plausible. Good luck! [1] http://arxiv.org/pdf/1209.1938v1.pdf (end of page 1)
