I have no ambitions to be the next great nibmeister, but I would like to understand "the mechanics" of regrinding and repolishing a nib and try it on some old crocks I have. Can anyone point me to where I can read about this or how else to learn a little before there is the equivalent of the Texas Chainsaw FP Massacre!

You'll also find that Gerry has a bunch of links to Antonios notes on flex here.
Well worth reading.
Excellent article here
And Wim has a goody here

Commonsense, a light touch and practice are the main essentials.

Best of luck.
