Hi

 

I am Jaspreet from India and I grind nibs. I usually post pics of my grinds on instagram ( handle - Jazzorilla). I am new to FPN and i will be posting pics of my grinds here for constructive criticism.

 

Attaching some pics of a Broad Cursive italic grind on a Kanwrite nib which writes as a smooth B on reverse.

Nice looking, and it's always nice to have two sides.

 

IMO double sided is something to look at, with the modern Pelikans (outside the 200).

The Reality Show is a riveting result of 23% being illiterate, and 60% reading at a 6th grade or lower level.

Once a bartender, always a bartender.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

I have a Pelikan m605 with a Broad nib. The back side wrote like a sharp italic. Eventually i ground it again to have a forgiving CI on one side and a sharp italic on the other side.

Great work judging by the photos. Have you considered doing grinds of other people in the future? I get the feeling there's a shortage of nib grinders in your part of the world.

Hi Hasorer. This is Chanchal from Kolkata. Just too elated to find a nibmeister locally. Your works are wonderful. I have a Pelican souveran m600 medium nib. But I feel it's way too broad and wet nib, uncomfortable for my writing style. I was actually planning to buy a fine nib for m600, just when I found your post. Can your expertise be any of my help? Awaiting a response from your side.

Yes, I have been doing grinds for people since couple of months now. Recently ground nibs at a show in Mumbai organized by Fountain Pen association of India. Thank you :)

Great photos. Thank you for posting. I've been messing around with a couple of Pilot Varsities and various micromesh pads in an attempt to turn one into a stub and the other into an architect. I don't have the guts to try my hand at anything more expensive than a Varsity or a Wing Sung.

Nice clean work Jaspreet. I'm still having trouble with the final polish on my grinds. Those pics look great.

An italic grind on a Kaweco Sport BB nib. This was done for someone who does calligraphy and needed maximum line variation.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
