I bought a bag of white turkey feathers, cut some of them into sharp pens, I already had some ink. I love doing math using quill pen while listening to baroque music, I feel like an ancient mathematician like Euler and Leibniz. Too sad I can't use my quill pen during exams. I really recommend these pens cuz you never get bored of writing. Though it takes a few days to get used to them.

How long can you approximately use a quill pen? Either until you have to resharpen it, until you really have to cut a new tip and how often can you, on average, put a new edge on a quill till you have to use a new one? Thanks in advance, and have fun with your writings :)

Matt Turns i love quill pens so much its weird
@KyleOfCanada
@KyleOfCanada 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Matt, Some fonts were certainly designed to look nice, others were designed for practical reasons, some for both! For example, the Gothic fonts which are more tall and narrow compared to other fonts so that the calligrapher could fit more letters on each line (while also looking fancy). Due to how expensive parchment paper was at the time, they wanted to fit as many letters as possible into any given space to save money without compromising appearance. There are tons of little things today whose origins can be traced back to outdated technology. For instance, have you ever wondered why Microsoft Word only goes up to font 72? (I'm a dork and I have). The reason dates back to the printing press which commonly used metal letters which only went up to (you guessed it) size 72. For anything larger, you had to use wooden letters because the metal became too heavy. Sorry for rambling and all the best, Kyle
@JM-lh8rl
@JM-lh8rl 6 жыл бұрын
KyleOfCanada I had never heard of the font size. It's very interesting that they implement the old dynamics of printing into modern day! What exactly did the size refer to, though? The width, length, or maybe even weight? Did they have their own measurement system for letters in the press?

I'm posting a second comment because I just noticed you produced quite an extensive series on stationery, from writing apparatus to substrate. While it was enough to admit my obsession with fountain pens and the associated calligraphic and typographic work; doing my own bindery work with books, making the signatures from scratch/awling them by hand/stitching them by hand, and crafting covers by hand for my own personal use is also an obsession of mine, and watching someone else share this as their own passion is heartwarming. So not only have I subscribed because I enjoyed THIS video - I've subscribed because you've made a dedicated fan. I have every intention of consuming every single one of your videos. This is all excellent work. This print designer/typographer/impositioner is quite impressed at this work. I have so much respect for what you do. Thank you for this and the rest of your series.

Add more enthusiasm to your conversations, it looks like the guest captures more of our attention that you do, which should be the opposite. 2. Also very important get close-up shots of how he cuts the quill with his clippers which was not included. Always get close up shots and videos of what the craftsman is doing. Overall the videos are great and just need to be ironed out a bit, but great potential for success. Good luck

Very interesting video. Thank you. I was reading outlander about 1700s and they needed copies made, they actually had to find someone who could write legibly to make good copies. It really got me thinking. I guess most people would not have read or wrote. Even paper was a luxury item. Very interesting

Try not to burn your hand in the sand. The sand on the hand is banned from the sand and the sand is bad for the hand.

@ThuggishPlum82 Easy. If you touch sand or pick it up, the rest of the sand will turn away from it and reject it much like some animal species will reject their young after they have been touched by humans. Also the hot sand will burn you. Both hand and sand are harmed. Always seek medical attention and obtain proper preventative care upon contact with sand, and take the sand to a specialized sand-life center for eventual release back into the sand.

Oscar Banana do you actually know of a synthetic feather supplier? I've been vegan 22 years, for my wedding I wanted fascinators for the ladies. Everyone said to get fake feathers, I've searched for years and have never found any. I ended up turning fabric flower parts into feathers.

I used to love making quill pens when I was a kid! Wished I could have seen this first, I didn't know about scratching off the membrane and the boiling/hot sand but my pens worked pretty well for a little while. Did he say about the angle? You have to hold them so the nib is at pointing at about 11 o'clock otherwise it skritches.

@@jero2955 Ah! It's a way of describing direction. Imagine you are in the middle of a clock face, with 12 o'clock directly in front of you and 6 o'clock directly behind. So 11 o'clock is a third of the way to the left.

I like using this. In middle school in my area of the UK it is cumpulsury to learn hand writing and quills is often taught with it to keep it interesting and with beautiful fountain pens and then are asked to read some old WW1 letters happy to families around the minute of silent to make us appreciative of their actions and talk about real veterans who for the in Great Wars in my small town and any other war. I find it a shame that these skills are being lost though as without learning cursive and stuff you would struggle to read old handwritten scripts directly although it maybe completely understandable.
