I was having a lot of trouble getting the c ring to 'snap' in place. So I ended up using a hollowed out bic ballpoint (we dont talk about these enough on the forum). Worked like a charm and I had the c ring secured in 30 seconds.

 

An adaptive tool. Well done,

Thank a Veteran.

Both the Peek and the Acetal helix rods will be back on my site very soon. As I make all the parts on my site myself I have to allocate my time making the parts that are in greatest demand.

The MB helixes are now at the top of my list so if you or any of you colleagues have a need for some, mail me so I know how many to make.

 

Please addd the piston if possible

15 for MB146 and 149. I think i bought from you on eBay in the past few days. Please add one of those little hooks to my order.

I don't feel like any substantial weight was added. I feel the pen is better balanced, but that's mostly because I know that I added something heavier there.

 

This 149 weighs 36.5 grams, another one that I have inked weighs 35 grams.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
