You cannot imagine how much you've helped me rest, more than anything. As someone with high ocd I couldn't get it out of my head that, after smoothing, there was still a minor scratch from certain positions. I've destroyed nibs trying to get rid of that and no other video than yours mentions it. I did it 10 mins ago to a Conklin nib that I smoothed earlier this day and it turned it into a great writer. I've spent approx 4 hours on this nib today and your video helped me fix it in 2 mins, because it was the inner tines that was messing with everything. God bless you!

Hey, I'm glad it worked out for you! The polishing of inner tine I think is quite under appreciated, more people in this hobby need to know about it.

This is a very nice, handy, simple tutorial on how to do this necessary inner tine smoothing/polishing. I wonder if it's maybe easier to do this inner tine smoothing with the nib removed from the feed and of course out of the section (if friction fit) or out of the plastic screw-in unit that holds nib and feed together. What do you think?

Yes you can certainly do it that way too. Just that you can't immediately test it with ink after each stroke.

Step 0: Remove red ink from pen so it doesn't look like you've wounded yourself doing this.

Thanks, nice videos. May I suggest fixing the focus of your camera so that it doesn't hop between the notebook and your hand.

Your nib looked exactly how Richard Binder illustraded a perfect nib. I treated a baby's bottom today but was too afraid to remove more material. Not happy with the way it ended up. Still better than before... That was a throw away pen. I'm sligthly afraid of further ruining my Lamy F Nibs which are terrible to write with even aligned. Edit: What Grid for the inner sides? Also, is the 2,000 sandpaper necessary ? (Regarding what's read on Richard Binder Guide)
@jacobonfountainpen Жыл бұрын
That's because I read from Richard Binder's note for nib smoothing! I've also ruined a nib before trying to smooth / polish a nib, until i removed so much material, the nib tipping is practically gone. Luckily it's only a jinhao steel nib. I think for nib smoothing, the finer grid the better for the final stage of polishing, i often read about people using 12,000 grit lapping film or mylar or micromesh. Since it's hard for me to get those items cheaply at my area, i just use a nail buffing stick which I've no idea what the grit is. But it does give me acceptable results on jinhao nibs. Lots of trial and error.
