I realize this might not be the right place but assumed it is the place where the most people to have seen the videos may hang out.

There is a series of videos on Youtube called The Masters of The Fountain Pen. I don't know what happened but one of the videos in the series seems to have been gone for a couple of years and also seems to have disappeared from the internet entirely. I can't get the producers to respond about it at all.

Am I the only one who remembers the video in the series that showed one of the Masters welding iridiun tipping onto nib tines and then grinding them to shape

I saw that video and there were several more. I think some were re-upped but not all.

Yes, they all resurfaced but the one with the tipping welding.

I think that there were a couple more. I remember one about a Sailor Pen Clinic where some interesting nib adjustments are done. If you’ve seen that one could you post a link.

Bit late replying, but yes there was another one that since disappeared, it was about Kohei Kubo at the Kubo Workshop, and showed him retipping a nib, as well as straightening a couple of damaged ones that were bent in different ways. Fascinating to watch, it taught me some important things about working on nibs, it's a real shame it disappeared.

This is the one I am speaking of. I found it the other night on Vemeo!

Thanks, these are valuable.

      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
