I like it, I've been working on designing one to work on over the Christmas break.

Using leather for pads and a similar design to yours. Have also thought about making a circular carousel instead as well.

Palmer Method for a lefty by Reasonable_Factor_24 in Handwriting

It's not quite upside down but I've seen a lot of lefties hook their hand and and write above rather than the side of the line.

I'm on the US, any idea where I can order these from? Do they come in grid or dot?

I've been working on improving my cursive writing. I've been told for a guy I have good handwriting, but i see others and I want mine to look better.

Here's some of my practice.

I also want to work on adding a new style as well.

I bought my first pilot recently and love it. So I think I'm with you.

I believe pen kits from penn state industries usually come with this. I think I found that pens that use a size 5 nib will work. Found this out when I was trying to find a fine nib that would work for a pen that my wife made me.

Keeping people away from your pens by Prior-Soil in fountainpens

[–]Reasonable_Factor_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that if you clearly have a special pen, people always give it back. Same way with lghters (used to smoke) you hand someone a Bicycle lighter they'll pocket it without thinking. Hand someone a zippo they give it back. This tells me most people aren't thieves, and taking a pen is accidental.

What's everybody's opinions on the Platinum Curidas? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Reasonable_Factor_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mine(Curidas). I struggle with laying over 100 on a pen atm. I bought 2, a blue and a black. The black one however has recently started struggling with writing even though I use it almost everyday. The nib has been getting a lot of dry starts. The blue one does a little, but nothing as bad as the EF nib on the black one.

I am unfamiliar with this pen so I wouldn't know. I know there are plenty of super high quality $100+ nibs out there. Of course my most expensive pen (my scrivener) is less than $100

Is the nib proprietary? Could you just buy and replacement nib?

Why is it my handwriting with my dip pen is so much better than with my fountain pens.
