How to Use the Ames Lettering Guide

[@randy-9842]

I enjoyed this video! I used this very same (and truly marvelous) Staedtler Lettering Guide nearly 50 years ago while working on my engineering degree and many years later as well. I am certain that it's somewhere "buried" in the very back of my desk drawer and needs (yes: needs!) to be brought back to a useful life. Your video brought back some mighty pleasant memories. Your instructions were succinct, on point and very understandable. Thanks and a Big Smile! ps: I also note that you carry the same (and extremely useful) Eraser Shield that I used way back then as well as some Ship Curves, a T-Square and I'm sure many more memory-lane items.

Hey! Where was this lettering guide all my life!! I've been doing all the measuring and erasing lines like crazy!! So easy, so neat, so clean!! Thank you guys, I've just purchased one and already doing all sorts of lettering. Thanks again for the video. It was so easy to follow! Cheers!

I never knew how much I wanted a check mark template until I saw this.

[@DeanWesterfield]

I don't know what that groove is for but I doubt it is for check marks.

[@blurbyturtle]

@@DeanWesterfield The video literally shows them using it for checkmarks and says that it's a checkmark template though

[@DeanWesterfield]

@@blurbyturtle Like I said, I doubt it.

[@CapricornDayz]

The lettering guide moves out of place when sliding it along my t-square. I have the same t-square you have. Is there a special way to hold the lettering guide?

[@estycki]

I've had one of these for 15 years, I will finally figure out how it works

[@johansson8803]

I could not find the brush pen on your website that’s used in the video. I would like to get one. What is the brand of it? Do you have it available?

[@JetPens]

It's here: www.jetpens.com/Kuretake-Zig-Letter-Pen-Cocoiro-Pen-Body-Shell-Pink/pd/6040 You have to buy a separate refill here: www.jetpens.com/Kuretake-Zig-Letter-Pen-Cocoiro-Pen-Body-Shell-Pink/pd/6040/refills

[@simranlallian8437]

I miss the old voice 😭😭😭 but still great vid 👍🏼

[@youtubeis...]

If you are reading this, Its for calligraphy. So just use a ruler.
