The Genius Of Joe Grasty

By the way, for Ethernautrix' sake: I think you had better read again his website, for I recollect reading that -- for the time being -- he is no longer accepting one-off custom work...so, good luck on that one.

 

I had an e-mail exchange with Joe several weeks ago and bought the #6 Jowo housing for the Pilot 912 (or #10) nib to use in a Danitrio. I'd been using #6 Jowo nibs in my two Danitrios for some years. Had to wait to return to Wrocław where my Danitrios were before I could make the magic happen.

 

Surprise! Both Danitrios use a Bock housing.

 

I had to laugh. Pretty sure I'd skimmed that detail a few times over the years on fpn, but...but...but my Danitrios easily took Jowo nibs.

 

I've had the flexiblenib page for the Bock housing for Pilot #10 nibs open on this tablet for a couple of weeks. Will order one for when I'm back in the States soon.

 

I wouldn't mind using that Pilot PO nib in a TWSBI Vac Mini or a Pilot 92 (#5 nib, alas). Currently back in its original 912 body and being used the hella out of, cos I just love that nib.

 

 

 

 

Nothing wrong with the 912. Mine is a beater, which is nice, cos I'm not neurotic about scratches and dings on it, but the 823 has made me seen the light about transparent barrels...and vac fillers (ink capacity, since rarely changing inks, also trips (bicycle, airplane)). (Then again, Pilot cartridges are super for refilling and carrying.)

Presently, I myself am awaiting his announcement of the release of his feed for Pelikan M1000. Any day now...?

Tell us more about the M1000 feed - I couldn't find anything on his web site.

@DonM: Go to his "Standard Products" page and scroll (quite far) down, until you come to "Planned products" and down a bit further you will see reference (left-hand side) to M1000E and across from it read "Coming November 2019"...I am still awaiting its announcement...! I can hardly wait! Are you in the same boat, I assume?

I'm looking for a solution to my M1000 being overly wet. I suspect that this won't be it, though, as he seems to specialize in making pens even wetter than stock.
