PIF for the Novice Restorer/Repairer


Recommended Posts

I am paying forward three sets of Starrett Decimal and Metric Equivalency cards, which are indispensable to anyone who needs to know precise measurements, to fit proper drill bits to a size hole, to fit a tap or die to a drill, in decimal and metric. Starrett is a major manufacturer of high end precision and machining tools, and they have issued these cards for many years. I already have my own set, so when three more arrived unexpectedly, it was an opportunity to pay back. I'd like these to go to the regulars in the Repair forum who are just getting started.  With apologies, the cost of international postage has risen so high I can only give these to FPN members in the United States.  First three PMs that identify you as a novice or starting restorer/repairer will get them. 

Shown in the photos: there are two 3x5 cards, each two-sided. Each set is one copy of both cards. 

 

Best for the weekend.

That's a nice set. I've seen them before, but never used them. Great idea for a pif  😎

      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
