Awesome camera work in this, everything was so clear. The bokeh (background blur) in many shots is a wonderful touch too. This video seemed very polished and well edited; a pleasure to watch!
Hi Joe, I like how your pen has the nibs appearance for the ink level, that's pretty cool! I find with two of my carriage lift machines I have to kind of stop paying more attention to the operation of making a capital letter, it's almost like reloading, if I go too quick I get flying letters if too slow half prints, so it's a balance and the two machines I have that this happens is the 1974 Silver-Seiko Liton Royal Mercury, and my Olympia SM-3. Now with the SM-3 however you really have to go out of your way to mess up on a shift or too fast and zone out, but it's built really solid, the Mercury is such a fun machine it's easy to get carried away on. Mine I really need to adjust the type face plate and straighten up my letters the 'a' especially is almost side ways it's so bad but since I use it for drafting I'm not in a big hurry. I did find the rubber grommets at ACE Hardware and I've found by slightly bending the dust cover pegs they lock better and take hold in the rubber grommet better than a straight shot. What neat little machine you got there. Always fun to see what you have for us. And wow-wee did they make a seriously complicated bichrome setting, like the push button shifter on the old '58-'59 Plymouth Belvedere...very cool, and very complicated. Always a 👍 from me.❤
