cool youtube video: make a wire dip pen reservoir

[MatthewK]

I found this little gem at fpn:

It is a video tutuorial on making a wrapped wire reservoir for
dip pens.

Thanks, dude. I haven't checked it out yet, but it sure sounds worth
looking at, and I certainly will.

This might mean we can get more use out of those old Esterbrooks.

Yeah, thanks for posting a link to (some very rare) useful information
from FPN.

Thanks. When I tried my nib set, I found that those with a cylinder hold
more ink than those that have the basic curve where the nib is inserted into
the holder. As a result, I used only the former and not the latter because I
have to dip too often to suit me. With a coil, the good ones should be
better and those I don't like might be okay.

All I have to do is get some wire, but...hmm, don't I already have some
someplace?

It certainly looks fun. :)

Generally speaking I only read the paper section and
penmanship.

Oddly enough I was so bored and lazy I could actually deal with
all the attention grabbing avatars for a change. Usually I
cringe and scroll through a post until I see a "friendly face".
I think I've mapped out who is and isn't useful that way.

There are some stellar people on FPN that make wading throught
the crap seem worth it sometimes. ;)

Isn't that the best part of any project. :)
