Wow! I just got through reading your blog on inks. It is excellent! I appreciated the scholarly way that you went about your investigation. Thank you for putting all the time and effort into it. I will be back to read the rest.

Hooorrray!

 

Two more chapters completed

 

Start of the development of the feed, where I focus on establishment of the function criteria and their priorities

 

https://fountainpendesign.wordpress.com/the-feed-supply-ink-function-foutain-pen/development-of-the-feed/

 

and looking at the impact of temperature and air pressure variations and how the feed can compensate for that

 

https://fountainpendesign.wordpress.com/the-feed-supply-ink-function-foutain-pen/temperature-and-air-pressure/

 

Here I also explain where the limits are, why there are limits and a "what to do" for the user

Work trip.. I spend a month last summer (MY summer, YOUR winter).. Funny to see grown people covered head to toe in balmy 7C weather.. :lol: :lol:

 

Of course everyone in Melbourne thought I was daft with a light jacket in the middle of your Winter.. :D :D

I think it's the dictate of fashion... otherwise, they would not make much money...

really, here it is only one season, either hot summer or warm summer

 

I live in Brisbane and wear short almost all the time... when I worked, I had to wear a suit , but that was hopping from the aircon car into an aircon office

 

I find it funny when my local friends tell me how hot it is... In Europe we paid money to be in this climate and could not get away from the beach

 

how did you go with checking my site?

Hello Fountain Pen Friends


I like to tell you, that for now at least, the final chapter on nibs has been completed. Here, I talk about, how all the technicalities we discussed before, are applied to the design of nibs.


I hope, you will have many questions, so I can answer them and be sure that you got the idea. But first, I would like to invite you to visit this page



How to... for Nibs

and as always


with kindness...

Seriously.

 

I don't understand the 1/2 of what you're saying but it's so readable that I allow myself to pretend to.

ooops! :o

 

glad that it is readable :blush:

 

would you give me pointers to what you only understand half but would understand more? I mean, to the half, which you don't understand... and what it is, what you don't understand. B) I guess, you would help many.

 

and while I have your attention: Is there anything (about fountain pens) that you always wanted to know? :unsure:

with kindness...

I suppose it's not an "understanding" issue, I have just read the article again and everything is actually commendably clear, it's more a "need to know" and "retention" issue.

 

I again glossed over the formula bits knowing that I would NEVER remember any of them or how to make use of your imparted knowledge.

 

As for other questions, hmm. The main mystery to me, as I keep so many pens inked up at any one time, is how pens lose their ink when completely sealed off to the outside world. :unsure:

 

My Noodlers pens in particular :mellow:

Thank you again for a wonderful reference page.

Welcome to the Fountain Pen Network. It is a pleasure to have you here. I have read the majority of your blog and am convinced that I will learn a great deal from you. I have learned a good deal already.Thanks and, again, welcome.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
