Thanks for the class. I have a K&E set bookmarked on EBay. I'm pining for the pre-computer era of graphics. Something like this would appear occasionally on Three Stooges Episodes, with worker trying to paint title on frosted glass door.

I have two sets, but did not know how the nib stayed in. Thank you for explaining them is great detail. Surely didn’t want to break them.

I just picked up a set on Ebay and I've never seen one with this many extras before! One thing I'm curious about is that what I've got is the adjustable scriber and a separate letter height adjustment gizmo that you can attach to it. I'm wondering if this combo makes it basically the same functionality as the height/slant scriber? The adjustment grid seems like it would be far easier to use because there are no markings of any kind on what I have, so you'd be hard pressed to keep any settings consistent. But I wonder if the range of height and slant are the same between the two?

Wonderful tools for drawing and writing 🌺

❤❤ very good

This is a professional tool, you only can see it's sense if you are a professional of writing. It is much more easier to write hebrew calligraphy with a left oblique nib. Graphos is the thing to make professionals life easier.

Where can i find the create a color nib holders?

I wish you would do a video that focuses on only the finest lines that pens that can produce them, like the 0.15 and smaller. A video where you tell us about the trials and tribulations of each kind of pen and the best option for these tiny lines. I only know of the technical pens and no other form that can produce the 0.10 or 0.13.

This is a very cool pen and so versatile. I would love to have one to try out. What is the smallest line that you can get? Looks like you wrote a 0.1. Is that true? That would be amazing if so because one wouldn't have the problems that come with the technical pens of that size.

After instructing us to never shake the pen with the nib facing down, you did just that!

I just bought a set today, glad to find someone who really understands how to use it!

I have one. I took it hiking aand lreped the pionts with a ore rust to keep them good ca,ping.

I really enjoyed this video. I liked the production value and the way that you organized it and your narration. Oh, yes, the information was very good too. I always suspected that rubbing alcohol would clean the oil off of the nib. I used flame before and will used alcohol in the future. I clean my nibs like that. Sometimes I use Koh-i-noor rapido-eze solution which works fast and well.

Try manga ink

I'm very curious about the surface you are drawing on at 1:21 in the video. Is it related to the lettering set? I have one that came from a Polish architect who worked from the 60s-90s. I also have a small lettering set like that - and it looks like a good idea to use them together.

Interesting and useful video! I have a small pocket size, 9 pieces A-nib set called Markant 100. Graphos copy from DDR. Its pen is shorter and thicker than Graphos one, nibs are basically the same but can't be used with Graphos, but Markant can use Graphos nibs.I noticed, when you presented those Leroy sets, that your wooden box set misses its lettering pen. Anyway, great videos!

Wow I love your drawing style ❤

I have a set from 1950's, in wooden box. What's the correct or best way to clean the nibs after using? The most difficult is size 000. Is the fountain pen ink good choice for nibs? At least should be easy to clean.

You are amazing ❤

Sir, could you please tell me where can i get this Leroy set? Thanks

A very informative video yes, i have a Graphos set!

Does the featured portable ink bottle have a particular name? I'm not having any luck with generic search terms.

Very wonderful 🎉

Combination of art and engineering

Pure art

This video is very serendipitous! I have been researching proportional dividers heavily over the last week or so. What kind of compass and ink cartridge are you using to scribe your circles?

Very wonderful

Immediately on seeing the thumbnail I thought "I had no idea that's a thing" and "of course that's a thing!". It makes so much sense, but I'd never heard of a proportional divider before. And now I want one.

Thank you very much for the education. These dividers are amazing and I find it perplexing that such a thing is not common knowledge…. You have my like and subscribe with this first video 👍🏽

Or hold upscale a reference mark five times larger!

Please upload more un common tools like this.

👌👌👌

Funny enough that you release this video right on a day I was looking a good and detailed info on the proportional dividers! This is a very good video, I thought I knew these dividers, but I had no idea that it can solve proportions. How does one gets the tables though, is there a scanned manual somewhere?

So, what is the class of numbers for which pairs of line segments with the number as the ratio of their lengths, be constructed with compass, straightedge, and this tool? For compass and straightedge, my understanding is that it is something like, the rational numbers adjoin the (2^n)-th roots of integers, if I remember correctly? I know the square root of any integer is in there, but I don’t remember how to take the square root of an arbitrary given ratio… Oh, I think I vaguely remember the process. Ok. It sounds like this method allows constructing the sine and cosine of any rational multiple of 2pi? Does this allow for constructing any (real) algebraic ratio? If so: I’m surprised that one tool like this is enough to get to the algebraic completion of the rational numbers?? But maybe getting cos((a/b) 2pi) isn’t enough for that? Ah, wait, Yeah, just having the operations of n-th roots for positive integers n, and arithmetic, doesn’t suffice to get all the algebraic numbers from the rationals, because of (e.g.) the “unsolvability of the quintic”. Still, maybe this at least gets you everything expressible using just arithmetic and n-th roots? Like, there’s a correspondence between trisecting an angle and taking cube roots, right? Does that correspondence extend? Seems like it should. Ah, taking the cube root of e^(i theta), is trisecting the angle theta, but I want to cube root a ratio of lengths… If I have a ratio of lengths, I can find an angle which has that as its tangent, Uhh, tan(3 atan(x)) is probably a cubic polynomial in x or something like one? (a+b ı)^3 = a^3 + 3 a^2 b ı - 3 a b^2 - b^3 ı = (a^3 - 3 a b^2) + (3 a^2 b - b^3) ı, uh… Letting a=1, (1 - 3 b^2) + b (3 - b^2) ı , Hm… Can probably do it, not clear to me how to do it.

Trace an angled from one edge of the line. Mark n units on it; where n is the number of units you will divide the primary line. Now, at the last unit of angled line join with the end of primary line. Draw parallels of this line at each unit and you will have the primary line divided.

new to me, and amazing abilities!

Wow, what an amazing geometric tool!!! I've never seen that before. Incredible!

Thank you for this wonderful video. I recently purchased a Pelikan Graphos. The pen itself is in great condition, but it seems like the feed was left to dry with ink in the reservoir. What would be the best way to address this? I don't want to damage the feed by forcing it out. It is solidly fused with the pen body by the ink.

A useful and clear video, thank you very much.

Perfect...wonderful....🤩🤩

I wouldn't have known you could use them to make all sorts of polygons... I had been eyeing a set prior simply for reducing/enlarging designs, but now I've even more reason to save for them!

You explained everything completely and accurately👌

You explained everything completely and accurately👌

Your videos are always usual and advantageous❤

thank you. I have been looking at a second hand set of Staedtler proportional dividers, but unsure if they would be useful to me. Now I know.

Awesome!

You’re speaking my love language! I’m obsessed with technical pens & their history. I’ve amassed a large collection of new & used K&E onward. I’ve really enjoyed this video & will check out your channel.

Beautiful
