I found my way here while looking for information about changing ones own nibs: whether that is not done; if do-able, how to do it properly; and so on

I know, of course, that certain nibs are suitable only for certain pens. I am slowly growing a small collection of various brands of fountain pens, with a variety of nib sizes. I have plenty of ink for now.

Having lost the physical ability to work, I am currently staying sane through the enjoyment I receive from fountain pens, writing to friends (on paper! sounds!), and attempting to improve my penmanship (or is that penpersonship), and dabbling in calligraphy.

When I have time, I will explore the forums for the wealth of information no doubt therein contained. For now, hello all; and I hope I'm doing this correctly.

hi Chadbear

 

Warm welcome to FPN.

Roaming through the forums is indeed a pleasure and a great source of knowledge.

I know I learned more about pens and inks in a few months on FPN, than in the many years before.

Welcome, Chadbear !

 

With 99% of my fountain pens, the nib/feed assembly was installed in a "temporary" manner. They put it in, so I can take it out.

One had to know, however, what to remove prior and when to twist , pull, or push. If your dexterity allows (mine doesn't), you might enjoy service fountain pens, at various levels.

 

I think you will enjoy FPN. Great people. A user-friendly format, that includes PM (personal messaging). Pen, ink, and paper variety is endless. For now, you seem to have enough. Enjoy it. More stuff will accumulate. (Much despite your attempts to

control.)

 

Write with joy.

Hi Chadbear, welcome to FPN.

 

There's loads of information here, on pens, paper, ink, repairs, penmanship (includes penwomanship).....

Besides that, there is always chatter.....

 

 

Enjoy

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
