A few days in carrying this vintage 42 safety pen. It’s nice to be able to use it with this notebook. It’s not my ideal set up just yet… I’m planning to make it a bit note rustic and antique while fully functional.
Anyone have a good antique / vintage setup I can learn from?
Not sure what to do with this kinda FPV footage but… pretty cool.
PS BGM was the actual sound picked up by the camera, not too bad.
I’ve seen many Writers Editions and all sorts of special editions — including the Around the World in Eighty Days edition, complete with the hot air balloon that, amusingly, never actually appears in the novel.
But I think this plainer Jane Austen Writers Edition suits her best.
There’s something especially lovely about placing it side by side with a vintage Jane Austen pocket book printed in 1906.
And I love that I can match Chapter XLIII in the book with the Roman numerals on the pen. I’m not entirely sure whether that chapter captures Pride and Prejudice well enough to stand for the whole novel — but it is, after all, the chapter where Elizabeth Bennet first sees Pemberley, and perhaps first begins to see Darcy differently too.
TN standard size.
This is probably the smallest size i could use. If there's an A5 i'll definitely choose that.
It's nice to be able to strap a MB 146 and snap an E-ink reader into the notebook.
146 with a T-shaped feed
14K dual tone EF nib… the grind is kinda special, it’s got a bit more feedback than my other 146s
And I’m rocking it on my Traveler’s notebook.
I love dual tone nibs but wasn’t comfortable enough to strap a new Montblanc on a TN notebook. This one is just right… looks good but still okay to weather some wear and tear. it's my New EDC from now on.
This is a vintage dip pen nib made in 7K gold. labeled “Clark brothers & co”
It’s a flexible nib so when pressure is applied, the tines would open up and create line variations.
Clark bro & co. The pen has been working for quite a while. But I’m now able to mount a camera on it…
I would like to have style but not sacrificing speed and fluency, any ideas how to do that with a flexible nib?
This is a very rare nib in my region.
m200 I nib. It’s super juicy and super thick. Enjoy writing with it… but it used up so much ink and paper
Pulled the trigger on this special edition. Pretty smooth!
