Don't know how I stumbled on to this site , this is good stuff indeed. Reminds me of the work I was into in drafting courses in high school when my first introduction to technical pens became life long tools , this was back in 1972 and have been slinging gallons of ink since ! Thank You for your work out here My Hat's Off To Ya !
It's amazing how a simple tool like this can stay relevant for so many years, it just shows the power of good design! And it's really amazing that you somehow find my channel and it reminds you of your sweet memories from 70s. That's another to have you here I'm really proud to be helpful. Merry Christmas party and have a good year 🥰
@@GenWivern2 It's really an honor to be described like that🥰 hope I deserve your compliment. Many thanks for your attention and heart warming comment👍🙏😊
Thank you so much for this video. I used the same Graphos pens nearly 50 years ago when I was an apprentice in a drawing office, it was so good to see them again.
Besides the fact that I tend to hatch when I doodle, there is no reason the algorithm should have served me this video but man....what a mesmerizing video. The tool is cool, but I'm sort of obsessed with the perfection of the technical pen lines. Sub granted.
Many thanks for joining me on this channel and I'm really grateful for your heartwarming compliment. It's not the algorithm buddy, it's your beautiful mind that guides you through this maze. Keep up the good word, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊
The Linex looks very handy indeed. I was surprised how much I liked the consistency of the Rotring technical pen's lines in that mosaic hatching. And as always, envious of your Graphos set!
Believe me it's one of the rare tools that despite being quiete simple, I find new applications for it every day. That single video is the result of at least 2 months of trying different tools with it and still plenty of applications are left to be mentioned. And as for the technical pens, "Yes" they are really fun to draw with and if preserved well, will last you a life time. And the Graphos, I'm speechless. That thing is a marvel of engineering. Wish you all good, your comments have always been so heartwarming 🥰🙏
@@danceswithaardvarks3284 Really one of the most useful and less known tools I ever encountered with. Really appreciate your attention and wish you health and happiness 🙏😊
It is a bit tricky to find these vintage tools these days, but keep on searching, you will find it, believe me! And definitely after you find it you're going to say " it really worth it" just walk into an art supplies for and buy one of these, even known brands don't make any high quality products like they used to do some 20 years ago. Everything is plasticy and fragile. So it really worth searching quality products like these and after you found it it's going to last your lifetime. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🥰
Really apreciate this video! As a miniature/model maker I struggle to form precise parallel lines by hand and current options are not the best. Would it be possible to see what the ruler advancing mechanism inside looks like, perhaps at a later video?
Really appreciate your attention, actually there is an old video on UA-cam in which someone dismantles one of these. It's a quite old video and has low quality but I think it does the job and provides you a really vivid picture of what is going inside it. Actually there is someone on this channel and has commented below this video as well that told me that he's going to make one of these for himself just by watching that video. Maybe it's worth searching for it right now. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🥰
Oh no! Simply search the term "linex automatic line spacer" there is plenty of them on eBay. Don't give up so soon buddy. You gonna make it that's for sure. And believe me the moment you start chasing something, it starts chasing you as well. It's only the matter of time to meet each others somewhere. So good luck and God speed 😊👍
This was very interesting. Your narration is excellent. I found the music and sound effects distracting. I subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you.
Hi buddy, well actually these things are considered to vintage these days, I'm finding them can be quite tricky. Obviously the first option is searching online in local online retail website or even eBay. The second option that has worked for me is meeting veteran engineering communities can I asking if there is someone who is willing to sell or give away his/her staff. I know these are not normal ways of looking for art supplies but finding high quality good stuffs is not easy these days you can't just walk in art store and buy something. Everything nowadays is made by low quality and fragile material and even known brands don't make quality products like they used to do some 20 years ago. Good luck buddy and God speed.
@lawrencediggs7957 yes they are but this very special tool has been discontinued. Today someone text me and said he's living in Denmark and said he has contacted the company and they replied the item 625m which is the code of this product is considered vintage and not available anymore. So finding it any usual way don't seem possible or easy.
@@matthuck378 actually It depends on where you live and which country's eBay you're checking. In some regions they are really hard to find and some others easy to find. But I'm pretty sure if you really want sth, it will find you somehow 😊. Sometimes you can ask veteran engineers if they know someone who is willing to sell or give away his/ her old stuff, it has worked for me and worth giving it a try ☺️
@@sinashishehgarha3023 We must be looking at different ebays then. Only DE got it and that's 1 listing. Anyways, good gadget. Shoulda been more common.
@@sinashishehgarha3023I've only found two globally and they're on local sites in Italy and Norway respectively... I'll keep an eye out and hope one pops up eventually here in the Netherlands but until then, I'm trying to figure out how to make something similar myself.
@TaylorTheOtter Well I can just say "good luck buddy" there is a pretty old video on UA-cam in which someone dismantles one of these and reveals its interior. now that you're determined to make one maybe it's not bad idea to look for that video And meanwhile keep an eye on the local sites on which people sell second hand items. Wish you luck 🤞
Merry Christmas buddy, well there are plenty of sites and retailers who sell different kinds of them. That exact model is made in Japan and quite old, maybe some 80years old, but I really suggest going to newer versions with decimal scaling. There is a comprehensive video about them and their applications in my channel. You'd better check it first then decide. Good luck 👍
@@greekveteran2715 I'm always here buddy and we'll be quiet grateful to help. Well actually I have an idea that have shared with some other dudes on this channel, and that is visiting local veteran engineers communities and checking if there is anyone who is willing to sell or giveaway his art or engineering supplies. Maybe there is someone who has sadly passed away and his/her family are willing to sell or giveaway his/her old stuff. I know this isn't a proper way of buying art supplies but finding high quality tools is getting trickier these days. You can't just walk into an art supply store and buy high quality products. Everything is getting cheaply made and plasticy and even known brands don't make quality products like they used to some 20 years ago. Anyhow I'm always here and we'll be grateful to help. Merry Christmas again 🎁
It's range of applications is really broad and one can be quite innovative with it. Obviously as you mentioned can be used as a guide for children or maybe elderly people. All in all a simple yet practical tool. Good luck 👍
But I've seen plenty of them on eBay, maybe you should check other countries aswell. I'm pretty sure I've seen some for example in Uk or Germany. But as you're living in Denmark which is the origin of the brand I have a suggestion for you: go to veteran engineers communities, where they normally gather around each other, And ask if one is willing to give away his/her old stuff. Or maybe they know someone who has sadly passed away recently and his/her family are willing to sell or give away their stuff. It has worked for me even sometimes they can teach you plenty of useful points. Good luck buddy 🤞
For me this is very first time I knew such engineering hand tool which gives so much perfect result . Real thanks for this info.

Never before have I seen such a fantastic collection of technical pens like this one. My favorite: the Rotring Variant. Congratulations

I’ve looked around for these things and have come to the conclusion I’m either going to have to build one or try and forget I know about this tool.

Sadly it is imposible to find. Im in Denmark. Not here not in eBaY !! The 675M is a vintage item. The Video is very fine but useless without the 675M.
