So glad you have started remaking the 101 series. Some time back I put together a TH-cam playlist of fountain pen basics videos for newbies I’ve given pens to, and sent them the link so that they have something to refer to when I’m not around. My playlist draws very heavily from the original 101 series, plus a few others, so the new videos with their more polished production values are a very welcome update. Well done, and thank you. 👍
I subscribed to Goulet Pens because, when I was new to the hobby, I looked online to get information, and this channel was where I got the best, most comprehensible, and most reliable advice. I swiftly became a Turkeyhammocker before the term was even invented 😄 This series is turning out to be much more than a refresh for the original series, but a more engaging, updated, and learning focussed approach, drawing on your increased personal knowledge of the subject, and experience of videography. 👍🏼👍🏼
As a fairly recent inductee, I watched all the original 101 videos, in last several months so the 12 year “time lapse” is very recent for me. Love the content and company.
Pretty sure I’ll know all this stuff, but I just can’t help but watch every Goulet Pens video anyways. Y’all do such a great job presenting fountain pen education.
Thank you, Brian! I’ve picked up this information over the course of the three years I’ve been falling at light speed down the rabbit hole, but it’s nice to see it all in one place to refresh my less than perfect memory. Write on!
Nobody has yet made a really detailed video about the function of the feed, although often i feel a need to do something to the feed, but i lack understanding. I mean very detailed: The materials, how the air moves, why it's too dry or wet and how to adjust. Currently i have a feed that only works well if it's not pushed all the way in, but i don't want it that way as it's a bit flimsy and the nib is too far out too at least aeshtetically. I think i need to let more air in, but not sure how to accomplish that.
I have a Lamy Vista and a Dryden Design Classic. My Lamy keeps picking up fibers from a book I’m writing in. Will a syringe flush get rid of those fibers?
Hi, thank you so much for this video. You have a links below, but which one of the links is the eyedropper pen because that is what I would like to buy.
I have a question, if anyone knows the answer, I would appreciate your knowledge. How do you know when a converter needs replaced? The reason I ask is, I have many pens that have screw in converters, and two pens with push in converters. For some reason, the two push in converters wont suck ink up through the feed/nib anymore. These two pens are both very nice, high end, expensive pens. So I'm wondering if for some reason they aren't sealing anymore; but they don't leak. Kind of frustrated.
We’re nerds aren’t we, us styloloonies ? Well done Bri; you’re doing us fans a great service. To think, Brian, you’re an intelligent man talking about fountain pens. It’s lock-up-able in a padded room stuff. Great, though, eh ? Write on dude, write on ✅👍🫡

A great quality remake of the originals, thanks Brian. I remember a young Brian Goulet doing those originals. Yet it seems like yesterday.
Nice Pilot 74 Custom!! Ice to see this refresh of the series that led me to Goulet Pens for my first pen purchase.

I love it. The best channel i've found about fountain pens.

Always great to review the basics every so often.
Thats why today I relearned basic addition. Just to be SURE.

Thanks Brian for redoing these!

So well laid out

This is a great introduction to fountain pens for new users. 😊
Nice intro to the world of pens. Misspelled finial though.
Right. Memory aid: ‘Finial’ is related to the Middle English ‘final’ (says Webster’s).
Keep doing great videos like this! People need such clear and concise information.
Quick and packed with information. Well done and thank you for posting.
Awesome camera work, I just arrived at a new job and am “penabling” all of my new friends 😉
Great video Brian, very informative.
Great informative video! Thanks for posting it!
Good job Brian!
Very nice explanation.
Very helpful. ❤
Thanks Brian! Another FP 101!

Leaving a comment for the sake of the algorithm.
Indeed.

Goulet sells small brass sheets to floss your nib tines.
Helping the algorithm! ✨

You forgot the squeeze converter that's built into the pen.
8:27 I watched this video 5 times and I still dont think my brain could absorb all this dense technical know how. I better watch it a few more times.
What is the pen at 3:11 ?
It's the Lamy Safari
@@anirbitbiswas8689 thanks! I think I might be developing an addiction...
@@thedoctorBeriadan Yeah, me too lol.

It's fun to see these remakes of the series. However I need to point out that under filling mechanisms (5:30), it is "vacuum" and not "vaccum. Oops!😁
Oh, phew, someone else who checks spelling! While we're here, it's FINIAL.
*finial
Albert Finial played Poirot didnt he
Just here to mention “fineal” 😂
Same!😁
Finial, from the Latin finis, or end.
A bit of constructive feedback: all of the helpful information and professional demonstration is diminished by the misspellings (vacuum and finial).
Ooh, some inky fingers I see… :))) What‘s the problem with cleaning a vac filler ? I get my TWSBI VAC 700R clean in no time. 🤷♀️
