Another nib altered.

[jd50ae]

Won't force you guys to look at any more of my nib alterations but this one came out sooooo well I had to show it off.

Hand turned woody that made it through the tornado and really wasn't using it very much.

Had a very fine nib that would stick in any kind of paper if it was not held perfectly. I write too fast for that kind of effort so I changed it.

How do you make such a fine nib so broad? My assumption was that grinding/reshaping could only make the point finer.

 

Sorry if it's a dumb question...

/edit to say: the writing sample looks well cool

This post has all the links I studied before I did my first nib. I am very sure they will answer your questions better then I could. I bet I went over them 10 times before I started the first one.

Another fantastic alteration. I'm very impressed and personally, I would love to continue seeing pics of the nibs to alter.

The pen does look like peanut shell. Nice nib!

As an enthusiastic (although not very well-equipped) stubber myself, all I can say is GREAT work.

I have purchased this lovely Universal fountain pen , it came with a very bad nib, not smooth and it j ust looked ugly, so i just replaced it with a Signature no.4 nib, i altered the new nib and made it wide and smooth it can be, here is some pics of the mini project!

If you reduce a fine or xfine to a broad, it works, but necessarily it will be shorter than the original size.

Wouldn't it also lack any tipping materials if altered in such a way?
