This question was posed in another thread and was perhaps buried because it was a little off-topic. Thought I would open a new discussion so the subject would get a little more exposure.

I found the above article on grinding fountain pen nibs to be extremely interesting. Thanks, Alfred, for that link.
The grinding process does not appear to be all that complicated; but I am sure it requires some practice and skill. I wonder if anyone, here, has ever tried to grind a nib and if so, what sort of result did you achieve? From the written description, it seems like a relatively short process.....maybe 1/2 hour ±. Is that an accurate time estimate??
Thanks.
