ASMR Making A Quill Pen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- Relax as I fashion my very first quill pen from a large feather I found in the forest. Many have requested this video and I'm happy to finally make it, although it will become evident that my quill pen making skills leave much to be desired. This video is not a tutorial on making quill pens, but rather a relaxation/ASMR video so please don't expect a perfect pen on this, my first attempt. In my own defense, I learned quite a bit as I tried time and time again to improve the writing tip and hope to improve upon it even further in the future so that I can make a quill pen writing video.
Thank you to those that subscribe to my channel and if you are not subscribed, I invite you to do so. I also have a Facebook page for those interested.

My videos portray some of the typical day-to-day things that I do for relaxation. And so, this video was produced with relaxation in mind and hopefully has some ASMR qualities. Stress is harmful to your well-being and in today's fast-passed world, stress relief is more important than ever, and so I hope this video in some way acts as a stress-reliever for those watching, as well as a sleep-aid for anyone having a difficult time going to sleep.

Oh my god, I lost it when your dog started dreaming, I couldnt stop laughing for like 20 minutes!!!
+nerdragingSC2 And I get to hear that everyday:)
+nerdragingSC2 I same
+RelaxingASMR My dog does the same thing he is part husky and part golden retriever
Seems your dog doesn't start anymore. Is the engine light on?
I believe this is the first video of yours I watched. Not at all surprised that I still enjoy your videos to this day. I never struggle to sleep while watching your videos. Its a perfect mix of intentional and unintentional ASMR which I love. Hearing you talk about things and roll off facts and the history about said items and the process. Along with probably the most soothing voice I’ve ever heard. Best ASMRtist on TH-cam. I do hope you continue with this channel for as long as you can. The quality of the videos has never decreased. I also the element of mystery. I like that we don’t ever see your face, truth be told, I much prefer it this way. Focus less on the person looking at the camera and tapping away for an hour. Thank you R.ASMR
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment. In return, I'll keep the channel going for as long as possible:)
44:04 out of nowhere "that's mah dog dreaming" great video!
Viren Bhatt Yup, that was my little buddy.
RelaxingASMR He sounds like a theremin! 0.o
Viren Bhatt ....*"I wander what he's dreaming...maybe he's chasing a rabbit...."*
Awesome video, all of yours are very relaxing. I am an avid birder for a little over 5 years now and I've seen over 230 species in North America so far. That feather is from a bird that I know all too well about being an avid fisherman as well. That is a primary (flight feather) from a Canada Goose. If you found it in the woods it may have lost the feather while flying over head. I find them all over the place when out birding and fishing.
Matt Loyko I agree with you. Since making the video, I have come across a place where a flock of geese live and the ground was covered with feathers just like this. I now have a nice supply;)
That's cool that you knew that man 👍
I think you need to oil the dog...sounds like his gears are stuck
+Kerin Gordon When does the dog start dreaming??
Dylan McGarrity I was so friggin' confused... I've watched this video probably 100 times and I've never heard or seen anything pertaining to a dog. :P
+Finn The Human 43:52 !
+Finn The Human There is a dog making noise lol 43:44
+Kerin Gordon 44:00 if you want to explode of laughter
Thanks Joe.
Your dog sounds like he's dreaming that he's tarzan.
I just laughed so hard lmao
This video makes me feel self conscious about my writing skills... Or rather, lack thereof.
Rayblon Thank you. Now get out that pen and print off some practice sheets and get to work my friend.
+Rayblon At least your grammar would be better
+Edward Cross Rude!
Edward Cross If you mean my compositional skills, then you'll be pleased to know that that set of skills is actually exceptional. I have a superb writing sense. :)
this was the first asmr video i ever watched in 2014. If i had never stumbled across this video i would have never felt tingles. so this video is special to me.
I love this for you! I found ASMR for the first time from ALBinWhisperland, and now my entire day can come to a halt if any of my top 6 favorite ASMRtists post a new video hahah I love this community (on TH-cam) so dearly! Got me through some difficult times! I’m glad we all seem to fondly remember our first ASMR video 🥰🥰 I hope you’re doing well 6 years later & you’re still enjoying ASMR! ❤
So many wonderful comments on this video. I wished I could respond to each and every one of them. I hope to tweak the tip of the quill pen in the future and turn it into a good writing pen. Wish me luck and thanks for watching:)
Yes, he cracks me up also. He's a mess. Thanks for watching:)
You where my first introduction to asmr when I saw this vid almost a decade ago. I still come back now and then to watch th OG. Thanks for making this !
I love this channel because it's combines two things I love! ASMR, and pens! GAH! I NEVER DREAMED I'D COME BY SUCH AN ODD BUT PERFECT COMBINATION!
I still come back to this occasionally, I swear your voice is designed for asmr, The absolute best, I love all your videos, from minecraft to this kind of stuff
This is what I say after I've completed my exams. 36:05
+Obscene Paradise Thank you for making my evening.
LMAFO
Obscene Paradise noice
hahaha
19:02 is what I say lol
I think everyone who watches your videos really appreciates all the work and time you put into your videos, I know I do. Keep up the good work
Your dog is dreaming about being a raceing car :P
that made my day
Brum brum!
😂
I'm so happy I discovered your channel. I'm already in love. Give the dreaming pup a snuggle for me! Xx
Glad you like the channel:)
bro make a guided meditation video if u havent already
u should also wear latex/leather gloves when u craft so we can hear the sounds of the leather being clenched while u are crafting things
The puppy dog? You can hear him in the video.
Yassssss the dongs sooo funny and cute when he makes that noise :D
I liked the sound of the dog dreaming!!! LOL!
Kimberly McKellar yeah i agree
Although it didn't turn out as nicely as it could have, the process of making it was a joy to watch, as was watching you test it out. The part with your dog dreaming also gave me a good laugh, so all in all it was a great video.
Oh the feather makes such wonderful sounds! I like how carefully you handle all the things you use in videos so that nothing is too noisy and disturbing.
One of your greatest films! Wonderfull to hear so many diffrent kinds of relaxing sounds.
Oh I love this
I never knew how these were made or how they worked. I was honestly so interested by the content of the video I barely got any tingles lol. Plus at 43:51 I thought zombies were trying to break in...
You sir, are the definition of "soft-spoken".
Thank you so much for making relaxing videos. I watch you before I go to work and after. You make my day a lot less stressful. Thank you
43:52 if you want to laugh out loud.
Thank you!
omg
xDDD
lol 😂
Miss Lynne hahaha
ive lost count how many dogs love to dream during asmr videos haha love it!
And my last suggestions:
When writing, you'll notice, of course, that the harder you press the nib onto the paper (with ANY kind of pen, especially a fountain or quill variety), you'll make a thicker, messier line. Use only a very slight, practiced, pressure to get the line weight you want.
The more viscous (thick) the ink you use, the less chance you'll have of making the big pools of unwanted ink at the ends of letters.
FInally, and most important of these tips, remember that the angle of attack is VERY important when writing with any fountain pen or quill tip. The direction from which you start to make you letter (line or whatever), is all important, as the direction, in combination with pressure employed by your hand, determine the amount of friction realized on the paper surface. Try writing from right to left, instead of allowing the nib to be drawn in circular fashion. At professional calligrapher will often make three or four separate strokes (lifting the pen between each), to compose a single capital letter, and as many as two or three strokes to create a lower case letter.
Hope this helps. Once you've got the hang of it, and practiced your letter stylings (fonts) to the degree that you can create them consistently, it's fun to fill out applications, write short notes, or insert written information of, say, documents that will be passed around the office, or placed on a community bulletin board (the real kind, not the electronic ones, obviously). Soon, realizing you have these skills, you'll be amazes how many times your asked to fill out certificates, address wedding invitations, make small, single-use greeting cards, and the like. I started doing this over a quarter of a century ago, and have been asked to fill out, for example, wedding invitations for up to 500 guests, at (way back then) $2.50 an envelope, and was even asked to fill out certificates to winners of a NASA astronaut campaign, all because someone saw the simple calligraphic examples I'd created in situations like those mentioned above.
Good luck, and happy writing!
PS ASMR, your penmanship is lovely.
Dead right about pen pressure, less is more.
Fonts are not scripts though, they are families of print letters used by printers and computers, yes there are fonts that look like scripts, but they are not scripts or hands.
Personally, I find keeping the pen relatively upright gives a flexible format for writing, but that is horses for courses.
Agreed.
always nice to find an old ASMR vid!
I just love it when you come to the 'surprising' conclusion that the feather is indeed buoyant. Makes me laugh every time. :)
Just found this.The dog is too funny glad you kept it in - ASMR and laughter - brilliant ;)
I had read that myself. I was a bit relieved when I finally concluded that what I had was a goose feather. I now have a source for all the goose feathers I want and hope to perfect the process of nib-cutting some day:) Thanks for the heads-up and thanks for watching.
I know you kept writing about how terrible the pen was/your writing - but for someone who has never seen this before it was amazing! I am so sad my generation (& those younger than myself) will never understand the "art" in handwriting as it once was. Thank you for sharing!
myrasays Glad you liked the video. Yes, it is saddening that so many can barely scratch out their names when need be. Even sadder is that it doesn't have to be like that.
Im so happy I found your channel. After reading some comments, do you have hate comments? your so happy and nice you make me feel better than I have been feeling. I suffer from depression and you always make me feel better.
I recently stumbled upon a flock of geese living at a fresh water boat harbor. There are probably 40-50 of these monstrous fowl living there. Anyway, there were these same type of feathers littering the grounds and now I feel as though I have an endless supply for quill pens:)
That handwriting is absolutely gorgeous.
Been passing out to this video for eight years, excellent content!
I'd love a video that was just the part with the sand. For whatever reason that was the part that really calmed me down and made me zone out enough so I felt ready for bed.
I appreciate all the work that you put into the video despite the outcome. The coin cracked me up as well as your written commentary at the end. Well done. Cheers!
when his dog started "dreaming" i thought he was making those sounds out of frustration. Great video!
I'm pretty sure that this is the video that brings new subs to your channel. It was in my recommended one day and I clicked on it and loved it! Now I'm a subscriber and watch most of your videos! Keep it up! No one else has a channel like this! :)
I thought the dog was a wireless printer kicking into life!!! 😂😂😂 great video. Thank you
That dog dreaming 😂😂😂👌 never heard anything like it!!
When you ran the pen over the feather, it sounded like when my parrots preen. Love that sound :)
Goose for sure! Great video!
so... are we not gonna mention the coin? ok i guess we dont really have to im sure its quite well polished by the sand it looked it but then again i guess were not talking about it right... the coin.... :( i like coins
There is no spoon, there is no coin. Fall in line like everyone else.
;)
+Samuel Normand I know its killing me! I hardly ever see those dollar coins anymore and it just got ignored.
It's just a 1990's 50 cent coin
+Nathan Moore still dont see too many of them it was worth a mention. For some reason i thought it was an eisenhower dollar coin eventhough i know eisenhower is balding lol.
That McDonald’s cup just keeps giving!😀
i like that style
that sir lives in the quietest place on earth lol
"Thats my dog dreaming"
"I wonder what he is dreaming"
"Maybe he is chasing a rabbit"
I wish i had all the neat things you have RealxingASMR
and I wish I could take care of everything so elegantly like you.
Thanks! There are that many relaxing, entertaining and educational videos all at once nowadays. Keep up the good work!
It's funny. I came to your page for the ASMR but I'm now actually really interested in pens and writing thanks to you. Your videos are so relaxing, pleasant and downright informative. Such good stuff on here and very tasteful and classy. Love it!
That feather is from nothing more or less than the ominous crow, a bird that feeds on the decaying carcasses of animals, and you make a pen out of its dark amd foreboding feathers! Doom will revail to all who weild it and the writing powers that it holds!;-)
Yep...How did u know? ;)
Tim Ster some people just ooze that type of nerdiness...
Juan Raúl Jiménez I would probably consider myself as a nerd at some things, but not everything! Yes, creative writing is my strong point! :)
ADogGoezWoof. Thinking about it, it's probably just a wood-pigeon feather anyway! ;)
i found this feather..... in a forest! best quote ever lol
It's very easy to loose track of time when watching your videos. I can't believe I've been watching for nearly an hour 0.0
Lol again it's so good 😊😊😊 ASD
personally I really like the background "static". It sounds like the kind of white noise that I put on to sleep. Great video by the way! I really enjoyed the sound of pouring water
I sleep like a baby the nights you release a video, thank you.
brilliant work on the quill!
YOUR DOG GAVE ME CHILLS.
I was waiting for you to pick out the coin that came out of the sand! 🤣
How have I not seen your videos before?! And how does this channel not have 500K+ subscribers?
Amazing video! I also love your voice (not in a weird way)
I enjoy watching this video. I have never known how to make a quill pen. I have learnt much. You are very very very wonderful. Your writing is beautiful. Thanks a lot. Give my regards to your dog.
next time, try using a soda can to soak the feature. drink/empty the can and fill with water. twist the tab around, over the hole. it was originally designed to hold a straw in your drink, should work for the feature
Oh my gosh! I just about fell over laughing at your dog dreaming. I had to pull out my headphones to show it to the 11-year old....who LOLed as well. He says he sounds like a generator. =D
The first "this is terrible" wasn't terrible at all. =)
I love your handwriting. Great video.
This is a great video my friend this is great work thank you so much keep up the work!
Oh and your dog totally have me the giggles!
This is awesome, I'm definitely going to have to try this!
the soothing voice of Bill Paxton.
I finally found the video where you clean sand. I know this vid is old and you might not read this vids comments anymore. But the cleaning of the sand is my favorite trigger and i can't find anything like it anymore. I guess it's bittersweet that at least the one time i've seen it done for asmr, it was done excellently.
Love these sort of videos when you describe things!
You're such a pro. The very best in my opinion.
That was relaxing to watch. I unwound from a hard day by folding laundry and peacefully watching you and your project! Thomas Jefferson does indeed have mad skills. :)
Though your pen wasn't as much so, your cursive handwriting is sublime! I should get back into it.
It's a nickname a subscriber gave me. I wasn't opposed to it so it sort of stuck. Thanks for watching:)
I love the color of your table!!
You have beautiful hand righting and the quill pen seems
Like it would be good for drawing.
I love that coaster.
All your videos are so beautifully made ! So organized ! It triggers my OCD and makes me relaxed and calm :) Thank you so much !
Love from Tunisia !
RelaxingASMR Keep up the awesome work! You were the first ASMRist that I came across.
Sweet! Another video so soon :D, you're the master at these, please keep them up.
Definitely a seagull feather, I see them all the time at the beach, It has the same patterns, colors, and stuff like that.
exactly what i was thinking... he knows all these different tidbits to so many different categories of things...
Ooo you found a treasure in your sand!
LOVEEEE the wooden table and the lighting was perfect, accentuating the feather to bring out even more detail, as if I was right there. Your handling of the feather was impecible, precise and gentle. I have no idea why this stimulated my head and relaxed me, but it did very well. By the end of the video i had apparently moved lower in my seat.
i love it when he does that cool squiggly line.
Your dog sounds like an 80's arcade machine! And great video, I enjoyed watching :)
Good catch. I had meant to say (write), the Declaration of Independence. Thanks for watching.
Omg when you found a coin while sifting and you were just like "wtf" and then kept going xD
Pretty sure he placed it there....
25:39 I was in lucid dreaming... 25:40 I thought my smoke alarm was going off.
in a special way, it's really smooth...
It's so relaxing watching him write a bunch of self deprecating remarks at the 40 minute mark.
I simply love the quality of your videos and the way you do ASMR. This one was so funny lol! So good!
Spinning Knife Productions....awesome sir, simple awesome!
he sounds so happy
Great video, very relaxing. The feather is most likely a Black Bird based on the coloration and size.
I absolutely love fountain pens and I'm fascinated by handwriting but unfortunately i could never have nice, neat handwriting like you because my hands have been shaky ever since i was a kid. Love the videos though, Cheers.
Not a pen at all actually. It's a mechanical pencil from 1940's. It's was made by Parker Pen and is called a "Vacumatic" pencil because the materials used matches the Vacumatic fountain pens that these pencils were many times paired with. This one matches my green Vacumatic fountain pen. The pencil work really well for a 70 year old writing utensil. Thanks for watching:)
You have such a gentle, relaxing voice. Thanks for sharing.
