Many thanks for your attention 😊 I'm glad that you liked it and will do my best for future vibes. Wish you health and happiness 🥰

@popcornpopcornpop Many thanks for your attention and suggestion ☺️

Many thanks for watching, I really appreciate it. That surface is called drawing board or drafting board, Rotring size A4, Portable and useful, there is also size A3 available. I use it while drawing with any other tool, not only lettering set or Graphos or... . That's a really practical and useful tool . Wish you health and happiness🥰

@viggenajs3408 Many thanks for your attention 😊 I believe you meant GDR by DDR. If I'm right and it's made in East Germany, it should be robust and long-lasting like many other of their products of that era. And as for the wooden bow, it originally doesn't have lettering pens like technical pens. Instead, it uses some tiny proprietary pens like I showed in the video. I mean, it doesn't have any extra compartment for extra items. Many thanks for your attention and good luck 👍

​Sorry for my late reply. That Leroy set, it has a wooden nib holder, similar used on dip pens. You can attach a nib to this holder and then use it as a lettering pen. It is stored in that long slot where you had an extra template. DDR = GDR in English.

Ah yes, now I see. Yes, it has a proprietary handle that receives those tiny pens to be used as lettering pen with templates or... . And as for the DDR, thank you, I didn't know that😊 I wish you health and happiness 🥰​@viggenajs3408

@FrancesSnihur Thanks, buddy. That's really kind of you ☺️

@viggenajs3408 Those vintage ones are really amazing 👏 I usually use sanitation alcohol which after pandemy can be found virtually everywhere. Just drop alcohol inside and wipe it clean. Don't apply water because it can cause corrosion. Fountain pen ink and technical pen ink or any acrylic ink can be used, but don't forget to clean it instantly and never let ink dry on or inside any of your art supplies cause cleaning it will be real headache after drying out. Good luck and Godspeed 👍

Thanks for your reply. I think the safest ink is one for fountaing pens. Personally I would avoid using acrylic based inks. When they dry, they're almost impossible to remove. By the way, do you have a video about using C-Thru ink pen? It was meant to be used with templates.

@viggenajs3408 My pleasure, buddy As for the ink, most of the fountainpen inks are not waterproof, so if that is not important, yes, it's the cheapest and the easiest one to clean and so the best option, Otherwise, you need to consider the technical pen inks that have their own ups and downs. And as for the lettering pen you just mentioned, no, I don't have any video right now, but it's while that I've been working on a video about the evolution of technical pens, I'll include that one as well. Many thanks for your attention 😊 I wish you health and happiness 🥰

Many thanks for your heartwarming comment 😊

@lonecalligraphy Hi buddy, well, these things have been discounted for more than 35 years, and nowadays, it's quite hard to find a new one. The only way is searching online to find something less used or maybe even brand new by chance. But remember to watch my video and check the box content because if it misses a part, then it'll be a real headache to find the part. Like someone recently commented that I bought a set recently, but it doesn't have that ink reservoir, I mean the Graphos ink bottle. And believe me, finding a missed part sometimes is even harder than finding the whole box. I'll be really glad to help. Any time, buddy.

@@sinashishehgarha3023 thank you so much for this information.

@@lonecalligraphy My pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Many thanks for your attention 😊 They are really useful

@Spacejack-xx2yp These things have been discontinued long ago, and "Graphos ink bottle" can only be found in their sets of pen & nibs or in the lettering sets of k & E which use the same type of ink bottle made by Gunter Wagner. At least, that's my experience. Some other applications of these ink bottles have been addressed in the "dip pen video" or in the "LEROY LETTERING SET" video you might consider watching. Thanks buddy 👍

@@sinashishehgarha3023 What is the rigidity of the bottle? Is it something that could be replicated using 3-D printing, do you think?

​@Spacejack-xx2yp I don't think It's complicated at all, although it has some features that might be a bit hard to copy like the door or the plug, but nothing special. But first you need to find one to copy it. If you can find it then why bothering copying it, and if you can't then how are you going to do that🤔 anyhow, that's my favorite EDC ink bottle due to the reasons I have exclusively elaborated in Graphos and Dippen videos. Wish you health and luck buddy 👍

Definitely, it is 👌👍

@@earthface my pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Many thanks for your compliment 😊

@@earthface that's very kind of you ☺️

I'm really glad that it was useful 😌 it took me about a month researching and making this video, and it is a relief to see others enjoying it. The compass is Fabercastell equipped with a Fabercastel 0.1 technical pen , and the ink is a regular Rotring technical pen ink

@@sinashishehgarha3023 awesome! Thank you! I’m just getting into geometry and “constructing” shapes with simple tools. It’s really interesting! Thank you for your help!

Any time, buddy. Any time

Many thanks for your compliment 😊

That's my channel's main essence to bring out forgotten pieces of stationery and engineering tools. If you take a look at other videos, you're going to find other things that have the same sense for you. Things that were usual and a must someday and as the digital revolution hit, they all buried under sands of time. People have forgotten them, but their lack is being sensed every day. Stay with me, and you gonna find dozens of these sorcery devices 😊 and by the way, many thanks for your attention and support 🙏

Glad it was helpful! Many thanks for your attention and support. There are some other educational videos in my channel you might find useful, so I really suggest taking a look 😀 good luck, buddy

Exactly...and in the main video, which is connected to this short, way more applications of it are mentioned 😀 many thanks for your attention 😊

@sumanprusty1173 Hi buddy, I'll do my best to research and find more innovative and yet simple tools like this one. Stay tuned.

Thanks a lot and 🙏🙏🙏🙏😍

Glad it was helpful! buddy. Yes, just search "Staedtler proportional divider pamphlet." There is a scanned version of it in a website. Actually, I don'tknow the site's name, but I found it this way. Many thanks for your attention 😊

@@drdca8263 wow 👌 are you a mathematician or astronomer😅

@@sinashishehgarha3023 Mathematician I guess? Though I usually say just “math person”. (I don’t have a PhD quite yet.)

@drdca8263 If you ask me, you are already qualified as post PhD 👏👏👏👏 quite knowledgeable 👌👌👌👍👍👍

@lpanades Bingo, that's a really fascinating geometrical method 👏 using divider only decreases the process and makes it easier 😀 but obviously, any of the applications mentioned in this video have a special geometrical method to be performed. Anyhow, many thanks for your attention and informative comment 👍

@lohikarhu734 really amazing...and there are plenty of other applications if one is a bit innovative. Thanks for your attention 😊

@@smizmar8 It's really a genius design 👌specially the one with decimal scaling. I severely suggest it if you are into geometry. Thanks for your attention

@skiegazer1953 It's my honor that you found the video useful and really appreciate your compliment 😊. As for the issue you just mentioned, I had the same problem with one of my Pelikan Graphos sets and should say it needs patience to address it. First, submerge it into a mixture of warm water and dishwasher liquid and let it be maybe like one week, depending on how hard the ink has dried. If you have tools like ultrasonic cleaner, it can be helpful, then use a tool like a tiny screwdriver and insert it in the back hole on the metal part of the section and without applying too much pressure try to push the feed out. Remember, don't apply any pressure on the notch of the feed as you can easily damage it. As I said before, you need to be patient for this and don't try doing it once, do it step by step, not damaging any part as the newest one is at least 40 years old and finding spare parts is a real headache. Wish you luck and take care.

Glad it was helpful! Many thanks for your heartwarming comment 😊

@@Shahbanoo-m9g Thanks for your attention and support 😊🙏

@CSGraves And plenty of other applications, buddy. But remember, I really suggest the one with decimal scaling over the other. Its range of applications is almost unlimited, and with a little practice and experience, you can even be innovative and find other applications👌

@@sinashishehgarha3023 Been a while since I've used a vernier caliper or micrometer, so it'd be a bit of re-learning to read the such a scale again, but the increased flexibility seems worth the effort.

Definitely, it is. Nothing you can't handle 👌

Many thanks for your attention and support 🙏 I really appreciate your comments 😊

Hi buddy 👋 many thanks for your heartwarming comment and support 😊

Hi, buddy 👋. Staedtler proportional divider with decimal scaling is one of the most practical and useful ones. It has a broad range of applications. Many thanks for your attention 😊

@@icaremore Thanks, buddy ☺️

It's really my honor to welcome you ☺️ there will be a tone of informative videos soon, as I've been spending last month researching my new video about Proportional Divider & it's almost ready and will put it up tomorrow 😀 so stay tuned buddy😊

Thank you, buddy ☺️

Hi buddy, I'm not a retailer, but obviously, you can search online to find a retailer based on where you live.

@FrancesSnihur Thanks, buddy... That's really kind of you ☺️

@@sinashishehgarha3023 your very welcome :)

@jasonbrentpresley Thanks, buddy. I'm also a fan of your videos and a subscriber to your channel. Really nice and various collection of compasses you've got. Many thanks for your attention 😊

@cesspresso Any time, buddy...I'm really happy to see it's been useful for you 😀 good luck, friend, and many thanks for your attention 😊

Many thanks for your compliment 😊 My pleasure 🙏

Yeah, buddy... what memories may come. Thanks for your attention 😊 good luck 👍

Thank you, buddy 😊. Good luck 👍

Many thanks for your compliment 😊

Oh... really. So only the open top pens? But the leroy pens have really good quality. Way better than any other technical pens I possess. Anyhow... many thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck, friend.

@@sinashishehgarha3023 They certainly made hours and hours of arch drawing so much fun! I also use them as everyday pens. Thank you so much for your excellent videos.

@ChoralArchitect I actually used to use them as every day pens till I found Koh-i-noor Artist Pen. It's basically a pen with the mechanism of a technical pen but with fewer issues and a soft buttery nib. I really suggest them if you are into technical pens, although refilling them is a bit tricky as they are designed to be disposable but not something an expert like you can't handle. Many thanks for your attention and sharing of experiences 🙏 😊

@@sinashishehgarha3023 Excellent! I will certainly look into it. Thank you!

@ChoralArchitect Any time buddy, any time...

I'm really glad that you had a positive experience 🙏 I wish you health and happiness. Good luck 👍

Hi buddy 👋 all the parts except for the caps are interchangeable, like the nibs and the feeds. Even recently, a company from Netherlands named Stilovite has started reproduction of them with the same standards. So don't worry 😌 Good luck, friend.

@@sinashishehgarha3023 Thank you!

@CSGraves Any time, buddy, any time 🙏

You're welcome 😊 many thanks for your compliment. Good luck 👍

Wow 👌, I really enjoyed your memories. I admit that using the open top pens is way easier and less complicated. You also have a great versatility in changing colors and pen sizes swiftly. I appreciate your attention and wish you health and happiness 🥰 good luck 👍

@@sinashishehgarha3023 : Thank you. Those old sets like mine were beautiful, in polished wood boxes that have held up very well over the decades. I quickly turned from using paper for those technical drawings to using Mylar film with the correct frosted surface to accept India ink. More transparent, more uniform, much tougher than paper, and it could be cut to whatever shape and size were needed. A mistake could be carefully corrected by scraping with a blade. I bought big rolls of it, probably almost a meter wide. Not cheap, but those rolls went a long way. (Note for fellow fountain pen users: never put India ink into a fountain pen, it contains shellac that will destroy the pen. There are now great fountain pen-safe waterproof inks.)

I have two sets of those vintage series, just as you beautifully described: shiny polished wooden boxes, well made, and if well preserved will last you a lifetime. And Mylar film, I can vividly remember my university days carrying big rolls of them in tublar containers😊 almost every student from "facolty of civil and architect engineering" were carrying one of them 😀 you could tell them amongst others easily 😁 big T rullers, Big bags to carry plenty of stuff around, inky hands and sometimes clothes, oh dude what dreams may come 😊 good old days buddy, good old days...

@@sinashishehgarha3023 : I remember now that I started doing these technical drawings as an undergraduate. I was always looking for jobs during the school year as well as during the summers to supplement my scholarship, which paid for very little. One of those jobs during the school year was with a professor with a big intro class to one of the sciences - biology? - intended for non-science majors. He liked to use enormous posters that could be seen from the back of the lecture hall to supplement his lectures, and he would put up several of these at a time. He wanted these drawn and lettered beautifully. For this purpose, he had truly gigantic K&E lettering sets that could produce letters several inches tall or more. These rulers, guides and scribes were bigger than any I have ever seen anywhere else, and by a lot. I was paid by the hour to produce his giant posters.
