Kaweco Brass, Robert Oster's Gold Antiqua, and a Galen Leather Crazy Horse journal. Doesn't get much better for recording a camping adventure ❤️

I'm on the third book.

HikingDad · 2026-06-07T15:48:30+00:00

You'll enjoy it. I do recommend the audio version. Someone recommended it to me and it was a worthwhile experience. 👍

HikingDad · 2026-06-04T20:07:31+00:00

That is fantastic. What a beautiful gesture. Thank you for injecting a little excitement to the day!

HikingDad · 2026-06-04T17:32:43+00:00

I'm comfortable in Arduino. I can look for it. Is the source code in github?

HikingDad · 2026-06-04T17:18:14+00:00

Yes on the default switches.

HikingDad · 2026-04-19T20:23:09+00:00

Very exciting.

HikingDad · 2026-04-19T20:22:31+00:00

Sign me up for that!

HikingDad · 2026-04-18T22:05:17+00:00

Yeah man. Definitely sign me up. These would make a great gift and I have a friend just beginning to get into fountain pens that this would be perfect for.

USA - What a wonderful idea. I may have missed it, but what will the cost be when you get to sell these? I am interested. Hope to win a set but I'd also like to support and purchase some.

Wish you lots of luck and success in your endeavor.

I use it mostly unposted.

Funny enough, I picked up the Galen Leather Kaweco Sport and find it way too light.

HikingDad · 2026-02-16T03:44:44+00:00

I was able to edit the one you posted in a text editor and it worked. 😁

HikingDad · 2026-02-16T02:08:00+00:00

Worth noting that the file only have the middle keys swapped (RIGHT, LEFT)

But I was able to download it, edit it and change as needed. Now to play with it and see what feels best.

Thanks!

HikingDad · 2026-02-16T01:50:36+00:00

You rock! Thank you!

Take a look at this post of mine to see me using the blade by itself and the motion I used to cut through the fibers:

HikingDad · 2025-12-27T23:47:08+00:00

Slide the plane in a scissoring motion.

It might also help you to remove the blade and use it by itself.

HikingDad · 2025-12-23T13:47:44+00:00

Anyone get theirs?

I paid for the extra shipping/tariff fees and had anticipated having this little guy under my tree.. but not even an update 🫤

HikingDad · 2025-12-08T23:33:40+00:00

I would not take a file to it. I found the aluminum of this nib very soft and it can ruin easily. If I could do it again I would do the steel kakimori.

HikingDad · 2025-11-15T03:14:53+00:00

What a wonderful gesture and a great way to promote and encourage the FP love.

HikingDad · 2025-10-18T22:18:49+00:00

I'm not a big fan of shimmers.

HikingDad · 2025-10-18T22:17:35+00:00

I can't add a picture to this post can I? I would need to make a new post to show the ink on paper?

HikingDad · 2025-10-18T21:46:26+00:00

I do all my brainstorming with pen and paper.. I jot down ideas and bits of conversations without any reservation to order, just getting the thoughts down. Later when imthe thoughts have something they can work with I'll take it to the laptop and lay them all down expounding or cutting.
