There was some discussion recently in another thread regarding nib tuning and smoothing. I just thought I'd provide a couple of links to sources that I've found helpful.
1. Richard Binder's nib tuning and smoothing workshop class handout:
2. Toolkit for above:
3. Nib smoothing notes by Brian Gray of Edison Pens. This link is meant to be used in conjunction with a video that he links to in the notes. Most of you are probably not aware, but Brian was once one of us--just a guy with a lathe in his garage. One not of interest from this link is that in Brians opinion, most nib problems arise from alignment rather than smoothing issues.
Hope you find this useful,
Bill
