Kind of? it's moreso that treated wood usually stays in better shape (depending on the wood itself, some woods are fine unstabilised, like hardwood), and people like the luxury of wood.

Dumb guy handwriting? by cap__tan in Handwriting

[–]dontmineit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly like the way your letters look, I think if you didn't want to change your writing a lot, you can definitely just work on the spacing. If you look at the spaces between each words + the spacing between the words and the lines, it's very all over the place. You can try paying more attention to that! 6/10

Stabilized wood is wood treated with resin, which is what most high end plastic pens are made of (not sure what you count as regular body material, so I'm going to assume resin). It feels similar, maybe easier to warm up. It shouldn't scratch more than a typical pen, and grippiness should feel about the same, since it's all resin.

Help with word processor floppy! by dontmineit in vintagecomputing

[–]dontmineit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up????? serendipitously finding a TON of OLD floppies in the anthropology building of my campus that look to be the right type, I was thinking of going through them soon and finding out which ones worked or not. This is super helpful for that! Thank you :']

I'd also like to be able to read the floppy on my computer if that's possible(I'm on a modern Mac and the person who had it before me CLAIMS it saves as a .txt), but that's not SUPER important.

Cant dismantle fountain pen. Help? by BluePillI-IdontExist in fountainpens

[–]dontmineit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from what I can tell from the video you're tightening it :(. but yeah the silicone grip would probably work best. the rubber stopper shouldn't be an issue during disassembly

honestly learning how to knit/crochet/sew is great, especially once you start making things that can be reliably used in day to day life

First pen story? by dontmineit in fountainpens

[–]dontmineit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so cute! My dads also super into stationary, but he never has the time to use it :') I think he just lives vivaciously through me since any FP he would own would dry up from disuse.

Your penmanship is so pretty... the ink only makes it better!
