Thanks for posting this.

 

It is most satisfying to see out mania hobby receiving world-wide recognition.

A good video to show the initiated at least. Great to see Richard getting the press, not sure he needs more customers though!

[orfew]

Great video.

Although I would question his statement of, only 6 people in the world that does what he does????

How is he defining it so tight that only 6 people are in that club?

He did say that there's only about 6 or so people who do ALL the things he does. Interesting video. First time I have ever seen the man.

In the other topic about this video some were speculating that he's talking about his students :-)

Oh man, thats cool. I am only familiar with Richard through his online presence so it was really neat to see him speak.

Sorry all, missed it the first time.

And probably all the things he does, professionally.

It is cool to see him, but I wondered at that comment as well. Was he referring to repairing/restoring pens and grinding nibs (I thought only Mottishaw and Minuskin re-tip pens in the US correct?) Maybe he means also having his own pens (Gate City)?

 

Because surely there are a heck of a lot of people out there in the world that repair/restore and grind.

 

In any case, I loved the video, wished it was longer, and drooled at that pen he wrote with. I guess that's a "Binderized" nib, eh? My Pelikan certainly doesn't write like that.

Un petit verre de Ricard est un accompagnement excellent pour un stylo plume. Santé!

I puzzled over what was meamt there FS, must admit that a Pernod or Ricard would go down very well right now
