I hope you’re being sarcastic

I like the Staedtler MarsMatics as well. I’ve used India ink and acrylic ink by Dr. Ph Martins (Spectralite) with no issues at all.

​@@jasonbrentpresley fair enough, i havent tried acrylic inks though also most of my technical pens are on the thinner side (0.1, 0.13, 0.18, 0.2, etc.), so im very much scared on putting weird liquids lol. platinum carbon black ink was specifically engineered for fountain pens, which are way more delicate than technical pens, so i can trust that ink for my relatively-less-delicate technical pens

To be fair, I did show this part in a previous video. But I agree with a few others that with the very small sizes of pens the needle should not be removed for cleaning as they are very difficult to replace without bending them and causing irreversible damage.

I’m glad you found this video helpful.

What are you interested in, exactly?

Keep an eye out on eBay. They come up for sale every so often.

@ could you sell to me this comppas set ? 🙏😅

I’m not sure I still have this exact set anymore. Most of the sets I’ve reviewed on this channel have since been sold. The best place to find these sets is on eBay. They come up for sale every so often.

Perhaps it’s a bad idea. I’ve never lost anything.

It was a beautiful set. I’ve since sold it.

Did I reference this in another video? If I did I’m glad you found it funny as I’m not actually funny very often. I have a very dry humor.

You are 100% correct!

Yes, it’s very gorgeous. I think the Riefler G35 is my favorite set I currently own (most of the sets I’ve reviewed on RUclips have since been sold).

I can’t know what the problem is without looking at the pen. However, the needle inside the tip of the very small pens (0.18mm, 0.25mm,etc) is very fine and easily bent if removed and re-inserted. If this happens then the needle/weight won’t be able to freely move up/down and ink flow will be prohibited.

Well, they are definitely more widely available and easy to obtain.

I’m such an imbecile I can’t even comprehend your question, but thanks for expressing such care and concern over my videography acumen!

@@jasonbrentpresley Glad to be of assistance.

No - there’s not really a difference in accuracy. The main difference between the one in this video and the other one made by Rotring is the pencil is vertical, so the lead marking will stay true to size, whereas the one with a steep angle will tend to have a wider line over time. For this same reason this drop bow would be slightly preferred for use with a tech pen.

@@jasonbrentpresley Thanks Jason, hadn’t even considered that.

There’s not really an objective value for an item like this. Basically it’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, which can vary a lot. However, there is a reasonable range of price considering the brand, quality, condition, and rarity. I believe I sold this set for around $60.

Yes, I purchased this beam compass on eBay. These larger beam compasses come up for sale every so often. Keep your eyes peeled.

No. If the needle is badly bent or broken the pen won’t work, as this is the only moving part of a tech pen and the mechanism of delivering/restricting ink flow.

Does the needle move freely inside the nib? If you shake it back and forth you should hear and feel the weight going back and forth.

Sure - just give me some time…

I’m glad you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.

That’s a nice find.

Yeah, you won’t be able to find anything like this set on Amazon - these sets (or their equivalent) are simply not made anymore. Your best bet is to look on eBay for a good vintage set in good condition. There are many good sets out there, depending on what you’re looking for exactly. Another possible resource is @mike.wyndham , who is in Canada. You can find him on Instagram and he sometimes has drafting equipment for sale.

@@jasonbrentpresley Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful. Much appreciaited.

I’m not familiar with the London Fine site but I have seen some of the Lotter sets before. They made a parallel compass which is pretty cool.

@@jasonbrentpresley Hi Jason, I have dropped in lucky and just bought the Lotter 209a set offered at half price by one seller, I weakened and now have the interesting parallel compass.

You’re welcome. I’m glad you found this video helpful.

Why would you use technical pen instead of a lead holder?

Thanks

Permanence.

Thanks for the suggestion. Fortunately I happen to have a nice Haff pricker with a built-in magnifier.

@@jasonbrentpresley Have you done a video of the tool, would love to see it.

Creo que te refieres a la pluma reglamentaria. En el futuro haré un vídeo sobre estos bolígrafos y cómo funcionan.

No not really. I think it’s just so the tech pen/pencil can be threaded in from either direction.

You’re right, this compass is solid and one could do much worse. That makes two of us that are trapped - although lately I’ve been pretty good about getting rid of stuff.

@@jasonbrentpresley The hard part is to not follow up the "getting rid of" with some "obtaining more of...."

True

assuming you mean a tip like @ 5:30 ... it's an adjustable nib for ink. when you dip that tip in ink, the ink is suspended between the two legs. if you screw the legs closer together you get a thinner line, thread them apart and your line gets wider

It’s called a ruling pen - a very old type of pen for making lines. I’ll make a video on them when I have time.

The main ruling pen with the black handle has a quick opening sliding clip which opens the tines for easy of cleaning, the clip is also made from Nickel silver.

I’m not sure if you’re asking if Kern made a 4mm attachment or if they will receive a 4mm attachment. The answer to both questions is yes. I happen to have a Kern Swiss set that includes a 4mm threaded attachment for tech pens. This same set will of course receive a 4mm shank attachment.

@@jasonbrentpresley I see, this was very helpful, thank you for taking the time!

It’s very useful indeed!

This G35 set is still one of my all time favorites. I don’t think I will ever get rid of it.

I’m not sure what the exact diameter of the pencils or tech pens are, but fortunately they are all uniform as far as the diameter and threading.

@@jasonbrentpresley Found it. M10x0.75 is the standard.

Just keep searching….
