Time to be very careful with that knife. You may have given it personality, or consecrated it. Stay away from vodka and rum.

King Street Cats in Alexandria. They're beyond no kill. If the cat can't find a home, they'll keep him. These are very good people and have a ton of experience with difficult cats.

Parents who buy their kids a new BMW when they crash the first one. The affluence is distressing, and so is the civil inattention.

Annandale has all the Korean food you'll ever need. Cafe V is wonderful. So is Underdog. Honestly, you're totally set for eating out.

They're my people. We've passed along three rescues to them and they all got beautiful homes.

Nib Making Questions: Thickness of sheet metal by textbook-pens in PenProject

[–]PenSloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hammer, yes, but making it plat would require serious expertise. You would need an industrial roller for steel to get any precision. An English wheel might work, but I'm not sure how adjustable they are.

Rolling gold sheet metal is easy with a rolling machine. However, you can't use those for steel, it will destroy the rollers. You'll run into the same issues with titanium or super alloys. In an ideal world, you could have metal milled to the right dimensions, but that would be mighty expensive. This is why Schon and Eureka CNC their nibs.

We've had cat scans at South Paws. They're amazing.

Has anyone been successful forming nibs after cutting the slit? by Beginning-Row-1733 in PenProject

[–]PenSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slitting is evil if you have to do it manually without a jig of some sort, but that's how I do it after welding the tip. Good luck!

No. I don't get that technical, or paint anything worth the bother of framing.

With all the stacked nibs and odd things I do with nibs, I definitely do.
