Hi All,

 

Well, another start to a busy week, and I just wanted to share some of the custom oblique stubs, italics, and cursive italics I recently did for a good customer. The request was for retips to be oblique, and in the size range of .7mm to 1.00mm. The challenge is to preserve most of the original white plating on those nibs that are plated, and at the same time set them up properly, when provided, as in the case of the M800 Pelikan nib units, so that the tines are even; no easy feat with an oblique nib, especially when they are italics!

 

Also a very tricky vent hole crack repair to a Duro Conway Stewart nib!

 

Enjoy the photos!

 

P.S. This customer had all of his retips done in just one week!

I have yet to have a pen I deemed worthy of your work, one that I would write with often enough to feel worthy of your skill (since I frequently carry multiple pens with multiple ink colors). However, I visit your site every once in a while just to see the beauty and craftsmanship you are capable of....

 

One day I will have a Minuskin Nib :puddle:

Now if only Noodler's would make a refillable dry-erase marker, I would buy a lifetime supply....

Thanks for sharing your work Greg. Most of my pens are less than three years old, but I'm using them with the confidence that when my obsessive scribbling wears their tips down, you'll be able to apply your magic on them.

 

Regards,

      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
