Its like a gradient effect it looks dope

[@nimbites]

@@tallsoldiertrue

[@bjornkeizers]

That's one of the reasons why people tend to love fountain pens; that shading effect. When you start letters, it'll usually deposit a bit more ink than at the end of a letter. Which gives a really nice gradient to letters. Not all inks do it, and not in all pens. But colors like this in a broader nip can really give some nice effects.

​@@bjornkeizersYes But some other pens do so too . I can't write good with fountain but with those thick conical tip ones . Love the extra ink flow

[@dozer1642]

I’m 53. In high school I took four years of drafting and architecture in a time when Computer Aided Drafting was emerging. We used these and many other devises and I can say I appreciate a hand drawn set of plans so much more than something spit out of a printer with the click of a mouse.

[@betomontemayor7369]

I use one too as a Civil Drafter before AutoCAD. When we started using AutoCAD.

[@zerovalue5106]

Hand drawn plans are an absolutely beautiful thing. These plans we get today are a mess, so many mistakes and discrepancies because it’s all digital and automatically filled. Plus they change so rapidly it’s easy to miss something.

NO WAY, I HAVE ONE OF THESE. I was watching your shorts like "Aww, I wish I had this" And today, while helping my dad clean the garage, he found these strange thingies, and I recognized the white ruler with letters from your videos. He told me I could keep it. I can't believe it, it felt like finding a treasure. 😢❤

I’m 30 years old and originally from St. Petersburg, FL. Gosh I never knew how special my city was until I got older and begin to travel. I see why so many people move away from up north and come to the sunshine state. I was happy to finally leave and come to Atlanta, Ga when I was about 15 and although I feel like I’d never move back, I find myself always visiting Florida. Because I’m in the neighboring state I usually drive and whenever I’m leaving Florida headed back home, there’s this sense of sadness that always comes over me. I literally be on the verge of tears and I get that feeling every single time I leave no matter how many weeks I spend in my hometown. It’s something about seeing so many familiar faces as you run errands, I’m talking ppl you ain’t seen in years - high school buddies and whatnot in the line at Publix. Then of course all of the family I still have living there. I love *Florida.*

And in that week or few days, I always say to myself "I don't care where me and my family are, I just want them with me."

Worked for Azon K&E, K&E was a German founded company that made rulers and tools for architects and engineers. Azon bought it and owner’s husband run it to the ground in a few years after over a hundred years in business. I worked at the Gardena, California paper manufacturing plant. Corruption and theft ran amok. I still have an old architect ruler which I cherish much. This was in the 1990s. K&E used to make premium products with great quality and design as it shows in this video.😊
