I was half expecting a lathe to appear out of nowhere, but this solution is really nice for us DIYers. Well done!

[@ichirofakename]

1. Success! You win!
2. To my eye the chamfer angles did not look identical?

[@mariexlupin]

Love the DIY setup, goes a long way to show you don’t always need the fanciest of setups if you use some ingenuity. Looking forward to the long term test results :)

[@peterdandyk2342]

What a terrific video! Love your 'handyman' approach! Just bought this pen. Keep up excellent work.

[@paulmchugh1430]

Great demonstration. I have not had the nib drying out. My concern has been whether there rod in the 699 actually seals the barrel. The rod wobbles a bit. Sometimes it seems to work, other times it just misses. Is there anyway you can stabilize the rod to seal properly?

[@santauxia]

Great problem solving idea.

[@slo_carry]

Very cool that you were able to adjust the grip section to better fit the cap liner.

[@wendyholiday2021]

I love your fix it videos. Thank you

[@Vermiliontea]

Funny, my Wing Sung 699 are all of them well sealed. I have 3. Keeps for many months without problems. Maybe this problem is batch-related? But I'm still grateful for this tip. GJ.

[@danielkblin]

I have a Majohn A1 with poor sealing. It works great when in use, but a few hours later will have a hard start. How can I identify the problem?

[@Ballantin]

Nicely done, great job with just some basic tools. PS: I had to giggle when I saw you confused the pens XD

[@lpanades]

My god, you really fixed the thing. It seens to be ok now. We are not sending a pen to the space!

[@lukeszatmary1840]

Smart! Here I would have done some sketchy setup with a powerdrill but this seems quite a bit safer!

[@ziggypopchock]

My Omas 360 also has problems with sealing and drying out. I wonder if I could do something similar with it 🤔

[@michaellew1297]

Nicely done. (If only you had a way to make a custom V-block for the job... 😉)

[@Doodlebud]

@@michaellew1297 I was tempted to but wanted to show a way that didn't require a 3d printer

[@johntoledo4438]

That was great. I thought you would pull out a Dremel with some sort of taped wrapped dowel inserted into the section to hold it. I guess that might be more uncontrolled though. Great solution.

[@gristlevonraben]

i was thinking that the liner was pushing back into the cap and not touching the seal lip anymore. i never thought it would be a messy chamfer! very cool, and happy autumn!

[@omicron11]

Wow, this is great! Definitely earned a sub. Thanks for the vid

[@ibpopp]

This is a very interesting and informative video. As is so often the case, the devil is in the details. Many thanks.

[@williamcatalano1762]

Man this is awesome haha!

[@phomchick]

Knife sharpening tool!

[@Toga_SV]

Ooft! I think I would've cried if I were in your shoes 🤣 Glad you were able to get it sorted though.

[@archivist17]

I like your ingenious solution!

[@BullheadedGiovanni]

huh, good job.

[@richardingraham6353]

good job
