I thought I would share this video with you all. Pretty sure this is where Skiprat learned his craft, at least the lubrication is the same.

I think a bit more lubrication was in order.

I think that guy cheated by just holding up a new nib! WAY TOO MANY SPRAKS flying off that grinder running at 20,000 rpms. A LOT OF FUN to watch, though!
Thanks for sharing.

Nah, he wouldn't cheat would he? He ended up with Waterman 14ct #5. Not sure what he started with (couldn't read it too well), but it wasn't a Waterman. LOL!

I don't see whats so funny, that's just the way I do it except my lubrication is Old Weller 107 with a splash of water.

At least he didn't secretly do a practice run !!!:tongue::biggrin:

In my shop, I mainly use motor oil for lubrication. Man, that stuff tastes awful!
That's cos you're using old used oil, what you need is some good clean fresh multi-grade.:wink:

What a joy to watch. I think I know what my problem is now. Not enough lubricant!

And now I know the technical terms for different parts of the nibs. Tinnies seems like such an obvious term now.....and I can clearly see the value of having a good loupe available to nib work.

Thanks Mike. Happy Friday, definitely need more lubrication........
Mike: Not to be sticking my nose in my kids business, but TO be sticking my nose in my kids business! You are getting ready to spend good dollars to have my daughter trained by Richard Binder. Do you not realize this person may have more knowledge in dealing with the kind of nibs she is likely to encounter? I'm inclined to think that just maybe, you should give Mr. Bender a rest and have her trained at this school of higher learning!
Nah, Scrap That idea. After all her years working with the connoisseurs of fine jewelry, I'm confident after a week with Mr. Binder, she will be on the road to doing what he does just as well as he does it!! That's my girl!!! Luv Her!
