cool youtube video: make a wire dip pen reservoir

I found this little gem at fpn:

It is a video tutuorial on making a wrapped wire reservoir for
dip pens.

Thanks, dude. I haven't checked it out yet, but it sure sounds worth
looking at, and I certainly will.

This might mean we can get more use out of those old Esterbrooks.

Yeah, thanks for posting a link to (some very rare) useful information
from FPN.

Thanks. When I tried my nib set, I found that those with a cylinder hold
more ink than those that have the basic curve where the nib is inserted into
the holder. As a result, I used only the former and not the latter because I
have to dip too often to suit me. With a coil, the good ones should be
better and those I don't like might be okay.

All I have to do is get some wire, but...hmm, don't I already have some
someplace?

It certainly looks fun.

Generally speaking I only read the paper section and
penmanship.

Oddly enough I was so bored and lazy I could actually deal with
all the attention grabbing avatars for a change. Usually I
cringe and scroll through a post until I see a "friendly face".
I think I've mapped out who is and isn't useful that way.

There are some stellar people on FPN that make wading throught
the crap seem worth it sometimes.

Isn't that the best part of any project.
