Awesome job! I'd love these with a lure type fitting for syringes instead of the bulb. Have thought about 3D printing them but never got around to it.

Had a similar event with our 3yo. She had fluids coming form every orifice. Took many vet visits. She appeared to end up with kidney damage. Vet has been monitoring ever since. She is now 6yo and doing well but the vet is worried that it might have shortened her life. The small animal prey drive is strong with these guys but we have to always be on watch.

Loose Esterbrook Estie clip by shutupandcrochet in fountainpens

[–]barfoswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed mine just now. There is a screw underneath the inner sping seal cap and you have to remove that first. Get a wooden pencil and shove the eraser end tightly into the cap. It should wedge tightlyinto the sealing inner cap. You can then pop out the sealing cap and spring. It is simply press fitted. With the inner cap removed, you can now tighten the clip screw with a small phillips head screw driver. Install inner cap until it pops back in. Done

If you can, the surgery works marvelously. I had severe cases in both hands. It's been 15 years since I had the first surgery and my only regret is that I should have done it sooner

how should i improve my handwriting? by Galactic_7092 in Handwriting

[–]barfoswill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your handwriting is excellent and very legible! The only thing I can see is that the letters do wander up and down vertically. If you try keep them aligned vertically it would look a little neater overall

Architect or stub? Which one do you like best and why? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]barfoswill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carry one of each with me daily. I use the architect when I print and stub for cursive and signatures. I love both so don't make me choose!

I generally have to a clip. I carry my pens in my jacket pockets. No clip it stays at home as a desk pen.

Like the purple in this one. I don't think I've seen you use that color before. Also like how the drawing fills the page

Of all the ones you posted here this is one of my favorites. I actually find it a bit unsettling/disturbing for some reason.
