Are you not intelligent enough to pause the recording when the garbage truck goes by or your daughter interrupts the video?

Any differences when it comes to accuracy between this style of drop bow and the straight type shown on your other videos?

hello, if i may ask, how much do you think it's worth ?

Richard, will keep looking on Ebay thanks again.

Where did you buy the beam was it on the internet or what I really need one? Richard from Cibolo TX

Is it still usable when the needle inside broke?

I have cleaned my pen but it doesn't work? What could be the issue? I couldn't figure it out

This may sound a bit silly but could you make a video for how to use a compass? I used to constantly have my compass point come out of the paper until I learnt that you must lean the compass in the direction you want to draw the circle. This works for large circles but I am totally incapable of drawing small circles even when I have the compass that has the bending arms as once again, the needle comes out of the paper.

I am sure Kern made lenses for Bolex cine cameras.

I've just bought a draftsmen set off eBay, for £25. The quality of these old instruments is second to none. They were made for a lifetime, and more, of use.

I have started using Rotring Isograph pens a year ago for technical drawings, but I didn't recognise, that the end of the cap pops out, and can be used for what you have shown in the video. It will come in handy for easier disassembly before cleaning. Thank you for the tip! And may I add: I love watching these drafting tool reviews/videos!😀

I found an E20 in my moms stuff after she died

So many sets ago.....still a great set.

can you recommend any alternatives, I can't seem to find this on amazon Canada

Have you seen the drawing sets on the London Fine site, pretty expensive sets on there from Lotter.

I have a Kern drawing set with the pens and I now know what the double attatchment is for, thanks for sharing the video.

Keep it up!

You can use a fine sewing needles for the pricker.

Como se usa el que parece un lapicero?

The rotring universale adapter is #1. On that metal adapter, thre is a threaded insert that comes out, leaving a really large thread diameter...any ideas what could screw into that?

Thanks for the review. These compasses made by Riefler are really great. Smooth action and hold there place with no springback.

I have that compass and it is solid, one could do much worse than this one. For me I found Alan's website and he said I needed a beam compass and a winged compass, a pricker with loupe and a good ruling pen. So I went searching and I found a different beam set and I bought it, then I found the giant rotring set for cheap and bouught that and then I found a winged compass/beam set and bought that. Then I found other shiny sets and bought them. Then I had too many. so I had to sell some...then I bought more. I also was perturbed by the plastic gears on the rotring set and I couldn't find any information on the set and after much searching I found the drawing instrumet collector group. Now i'm seemgly trapped.....

There are much worse addictions.

Mike, Everyone's favorite Canadian!

There is another version of rotring telescopic compass with both legs extending up to 55 mm each and allowing to trace circles up to 62 cm in diameter: This is one of the rarest compass i have ever seen mainly produced in Argentina where the Company had a division.

In 1983 Rotring produced a compass sucker attachment for tracing circles on film and avoid compass tip from making holes on film surface. The section of the sucker stem was 3mm

Whats with the tip that looks like clamps

Does Kern do 4mm size inserts too?

I love this stuff too 😂

That universal Rotring attachment looks quite useful!

First vintage drafting set I was able to get my hands on was a Riefler E20. Love the drop bow on this G35 set

I appreciate the detail you went into with the divider gearhead. Exactly what I was searching for.

What diameter of technical pen does this hold? I need a scribe so have been searching for the layout compass version of these but no luck so I might have to replace the technical pen with a scribe

I've been searching for quickset wing type divider with no knuckles but no such luck.

I have been interested in tech drawing since high school and really enjoy your video's very much, they give the true insight of how all these instruments work and what to look for in a quality tool, many thanks for sharing.

5000HB LOL!

lol your daughter

If you need well seasoned specialty woods talk to one of your local millwork shops. They might let you rummage through their scrap pile. You might be surprised at what they reject.

Great video, matey. Not bored at all and considering this is 'low tech, low budget' the video looks and sounds great. Looking forward to more content from you :)

The ink refill looks like a standard D2 that normally goes into Rotring multipens (red, blue, blk), or other very thin pocket pens.

looks amazing, feels like quality pieces like that aren't produced any more.

Thanks for this man! I just graduated from college and I’m planning to sell my pens. This is a great tutorial. Thanks again. You and your daughter are so adorable to watch <3

The little circular, brass thing adjacent to the wing compass is a compass horn. Set the compass needle point in the indent at the center of the horn. This prevents the compass needle point from digging into paper while drawing multiple concentric circles. The three pins on the horn hold it in place as you swing the compass through an arc.

The "tuning fork assembly" is designed to hold a technical pen. Swivel this assembly so the pen nib is perpendicular to the paper. Although this is a very old design, I prefer this type of compass to all the new stuff (after CAD replaced mechanical drafting).

Very helpful thanks, I had no idea what the drop bow was for or how to use it.

Cool, nice job. I've had mine for 30+ years, still going. My daughter is a little older, she's starting to use them now. I use fountain pen ink, which is less prone to clogging, but not waterproof like india ink, is the drawback.

Awesomeness, just inherited a load of these wonderful tech pens, one being this mars matic 700, the others being kern prontograph pens and they all need cleaning, so this video is fantastic! Much appreciated!

Fascinating. I know little of what these tools do so I appreciate it when you demonstrate the use of various components

This is pointless! People interested in such compasses are not stupid. They need informed comment.

I'm wondering if the pen attachment is meant to fit the other way around, across the pivot leg of the drop bow (so the pen would be on the other side), so you'd be able to track smaller circles. It seems to have a gap in the plastic which might have enough room. Aren't there instructions in the paperwork?
