Это видео об очень качественной старой винтажной ручке.
CONWAY STEWART 358 The PIXIE Pen примерно 1930 года.
Я получил ручку в очень плачевном состоянии.
В этом видео я восстановлю ее и добавлю в свою коллекцию.
Я не большой профессионал, поэтому не повторяйте то же самое дома.
В то же время я могу восстановить ручку до красивого и
полностью рабочего состояния.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you!

[@nacerber1035]

Very nice job. Thank you.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thanks for watching.

[@joaomourato3395]

Hi Dennis, I was watching some of your videos and this one might be your best video so far. We all miss your amazing content. Hope you are doing well. Regards from Lisbon, Portugal.

[@KittyLLew]

I’m a newbie to collecting and restoration. Your video assuages my apprehension in pentooling - meditative as well as instructional. Thank you for sharing!

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will try to make more restoration videos.

[@NDW76]

I have been looking for a video for a while that shows how to remove and reinstall the leaver on a fountain pen. Most instruction I could find on the topic just said DON'T. I used to think that maybe the pen barrel was made around the lever. But now I can see how it functions. I'm going to try to remove and reinstall the lever on a junk pen barrel in my parts bin.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Hi, this video is not super detailed about how to do it, but I hope it lets you understand how it works.
It's not super hard, but not very easy. Just remember, highly likely after removable, you will need a new ring, for example, you can make it from the spring, just find a good size and thickness.

[@Cyriljayant]

Beautiful work and it is an enjoyable work you do on many pens including this one.
Look very casual simple work but I agree this is really top skilful work . I love how you fixed that Lever with the ring. It is an unusual system. Thank you for sharing your skills ...

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you so much, I am happy You like it.

Отличная работа! Сначала показалось, что новое перо не село. Потом гляжу, всё нормально. Старый, пожелтевший эбонит мне всё-же как-то глазу приятнее.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Спасибо. Да, с пером пришлось не много повозится, но в итоге все хорошо. Есть что то особенное в подуставшим эбоните, согласен! Но тут дело вкуса, а видео о реставрации. Кстати есть у меня пару выцветших ручек из эбонита, но ничего с ними делать не буду, оставлю как есть :)

[@jeremyebdon7181]

Thank you, your video made me happy too!

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you so much, more restoration videos will follow, just I need a bit of time.

[@penkino1]

Nice job Denny, keep up the good work. Stay safe.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you, Stef, I will !!!

Parabéns, excelente restauração ! ( from Brazil )

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you so much!

[@ggr8314]

Superbe remise en état et très belle maîtrise. Digne d'un artisan, bravo Monsieur 👍

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you so much!

[@vermis8344]

Really fascinating to watch. I have a Conway Stewart 475, my first vintage pen, in a similar condition. This video takes away a lot of my concerns about restoring it. Especially the fact that I don't have to shellac the pressure bar to the sac! (I thought that was the case when bits of the old sac were stuck to the bar.) Thank you.

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thank you, I am happy to know, that my video could help to somebody!

[@romany8125]

Awesome. Thank you very much.

I really like your videos. Have you ever done a Conklin crescent filler

[@HappyPensVideos]

Hi, Thank you.
Unfortunately no, I never had any Conklin pen yet.

ютюб сказал хипхоп :) только настроение разное, в зависимости от того , что происходит на экране. Пока выбираю из того что ютюб предлагает))

[@audreycaldeira-hankey2951]

Awesome video!! What did you use to clean and restore the shine to the barrel, cap and section? Also what did you use to clean the metal parts and the feed? I am very interested to have a go myself to learn more about fountain pens. Was that shellac used to attach the new sac to the base of the section? All fascinating stuff. Thanks for inspiring me to have a go!

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thanks. To polish I use different kind of polishes, you can find lots of them on ebay. For new ink sac I use shellac, that's right.

[@audreycaldeira-hankey2951]

Many thanks.

[@Gian-lp9bh]

Great job! What the white powder that you use around the sac?

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thanks . it's talcum powder.

[@pasp002]

Great job! What glue did you use?

[@HappyPensVideos]

Thanks. Where exactly? For ink sac? Shellac.

[@valmonta3647]

Great channel and great work.
If i may ask @HappyPens whats the oldest fountain pen in your awesome collection ?

[@HappyPensVideos]

Hi, Thank you.
Of course you can. Well, I need to think to remember .. At this moment I would say , Waterman 12 in superb condition and Aikin Lambert( that pen you can see in my Instagram, I have photo there) . I had few very old Swan pens 1890-1907 . but have sold those to proper collector of Swan pens.

[@valmonta3647]

@@HappyPensVideos Thank you, i just found out your channel and i'm sure loving your videos. Keep them coming and thanks for your reply :)

[@HappyPensVideos]

@@valmonta3647 Thank you, keep watching and leave comments )) I'm trying to make more videos, but my work takes a lot of time.. As well, I have videos in few languages, but trying to translate all new videos now to English.

[@KenMiller]

I'm very curious about the polishing compound that you use in your restorations?

[@HappyPensVideos]

it's a simple plastic polish )))

[@trezises]

Can I ask what the white powder is?

[@tiddlypom2097]

@@trezises In case you're still wondering: I think it's talc - I watched another video about replacing an ink sac, and he used talc like here, to lubricate the sac

[@kryjPL]

What polish do you use? I'm interested couse it gives nice polish and it leaves patterns on the body.

[@HappyPensVideos]

It's a simple plastic polish, Special made video for such questions: ruclips.net/video/ONqa1yNbAUE/видео.html

[@user-rh6cm6zr5d]

А вам кавеко и ротринг вообще не нравятся?

[@HappyPensVideos]

Ну, почему же, мне такие еще не попадались, поэтому ничего не могу сказать.
