Does anyone have one?

 

I know I picked up such a thing at one point, and I am pretty certain it was here. In fact I am using one right now that needs replacement, but I cannot find the PDF anywhere! Searching turned up a previous discussion where someone created an A5 golden mean templet, but the webbies are a slightly different size. Any pointers to one will be greatly appreciated. A bit like the Rod Graves templets, but for webbie.

 

Cheers,

Steve

I know there's some website that tells you (and has diagrams) of the different sizes, but I didn't know that the golden mean was involved. (I looked up the different sizes a couple of years ago because as an American I'm used to 8-1/2" x 11" being standard, with "8-1/4 x 14" being legal size -- but when I was doing volunteer work a number of years ago filing papers, we always had a little problem with the stuff coming from Europe and (IIRC) also Australia and New Zealand (although I don't think we ever got very much from New Zealand).

Okay, not the site I remembered but this one may help you:

I can't find it, but there was some discussion some time ago on the FPN about using Golden Ratio margins in a notebook.

 

This document may help - http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/memdesign/memdesign.pdf

(Start with Chapter 3)

 

I would start by using the above Incompetech site to set up a basic page with the dimensions of a webbie (5 1/2 x 8 1/4 ?),

then download LibreOffice and use the Draw module to add the margins that you want.

 

I have made a number of different guide sheets using this technique.

The 'problem' with Incompetech templets is that they are symmetrical. The lines are even width across the page. As you (dcwaites) suggest, the margins need to be adjusted. There were some previous discussions:

It looks like the webbie is only 8mm shorter than A5, so it might be possible to adapt an A5 templet, or even draw one myself. I do not have anything that can edit PDF though, so am hoping someone knows of a templet out there already for the webbie.

Thanks Dave. Great minds think alike! I think I will resurrect those old threads and see if anyone can help. It seems that 9x9, with 2X on the outer and gutter, and 1X on the spine is what I want.

      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
