Drone Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oh my - very useful indeed. And quite thorough; you even have the "Smelly Pen" thread! I just wish the Forum software didn't truncate the displayed links - that way we could just scrape the page and save them as a text document. How about attaching a text document we can download and save? Which of the "Polishing" links is the definitive link to the illusive "Uber-Polish" procedure?

Jack7770 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I add my thanks for the work; creating a bibliography like this requires both time and thought. Obviously you have done both to provide this real service to Estie fans (I hesitate to use the C word).

Hobiwan Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Years ago, I did this very thing with another forum I was a member of, so I can testify that it's quite an intense, time consuming chore. Most appreciated! :clap1: I think one can just copy the text of the post, paste it into a text document, then click or strip it into a browser to get to any thread, eh?

maynes32 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Okay, so I've finally finished, but couldn't edit my first post anymore, so here it is, in full, again. If a mod wants to zap this into my first post slot and delete that post, that'd be great. A few users tips: 1) I've tried to sort based on the complaint/question, with the result that there are two basic categories - parts and symptoms. Most posts fit cleanly in one or the other, but if you have, for instance, a leaky nib, you may want to check the "nib" area as well as the "pen leaking" area. 2) I've made no effort to screen out outdated, useless, or duplicative replies. The whole point of this is that what seems duplicative to me may have that little sniglet you needed, or the "outdated" information may give you an idea for a better way. 3) I may have missed stuff, surprise. I mostly picked up threads that had obvious repair issues from the title. If you were gloating about your 75th Estie, and had a repair issue also, I probably missed it. I am also probably jealous, with my one SJ, but that's neither here nor there. Also, on a similar note, these are only posts from this section of the forum, not the repairs section and not the internets as a whole. There's lots of resources out there, this is just a starting point. 4) I have not really tried to address nib shaping/polishing/grinding here, as that's not really an Estie-specific issue, and there are LOTS more resources out there on that.

inkstainedruth Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Wow, this came just as I was thinking I really need to sit down and review the information I've already come across for replacing the sac on the SJ I bought a few months ago.

jdcr Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just want to add my thanks for this index. It still doesn't seem to be sticky--I was lucky enough to stumble across it via a Google search, or who knows when I might have found it. Anybody interested in updating it? Adding pencils to it, perhaps? <P>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Jim Crutchfield<BR>Virginian Sojourner in New York City</P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pajaro Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If the powers that be will pin a thread like "My First Estie" then they should durn well pin this thread, which offers something usefull. Or are they trying to pin only kitschy stuff? Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! "Don't hurry, don't worry.

OcalaFlGuy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If you want the thread pinned (and it's not a bad idea) you might want to PM or email Brian. He's a busy man and maybe he hasn't seen all the requests in this one thread. Bruce in Ocala, FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
