Hi,

Please describe your blackening process. I have a c1925 Wahl that looks like it was scrubbed/sanded and it now oxidized brown with over all low relief of the chasing and imprints. Looks like it has a great nib so it is definatley worth improving.

Richard, I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on my P51. As soon as it arrived, I filled it with some Private Reserve "Chocolate" ink and tried it out. Works perfectly, I could not be more satisfied with your work. I also like the short turn-a-round time. I will gladly recommend you to my friends.

I opened the package containing the Parker Duofold you worked on for me and I could not be happier. I am sure my father simply set that pen aside about fifty years ago and never gave it a second thought. You have restored it to its former glory. It is a wonderful writer I can carry daily as a keepsake reminder of my now departed dad. Thank you so much for that. I would heartily recommend your services to anyone wanting a pen restored.

 

Thanks Again!

 

Phil

I am getting pms. There have been some issues on the board it seems. Just a note, I got into an accident and injured my leg so turn around time will be a bit longer now. Please bear with me and thanks.

Thanks Richard

Has anyone heard from hcsk8ter recently? Or maybe, NOT heard from him when one reasonably should? I have a pen in to him and haven't been able to get in touch with him since January 24th.

 

-->edited to say I heard from him this evening.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
