Thank you for watching - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I agree, you have very beautiful hands! Perfect for such a tutorial like this. I am waiting for my pen to arrive, looking forward to writing with it.
Kat Busby many thanks 👐🏻😘
The pen demo was really great .... But kill the bird ,my dogs almost ate the phone and my hand ...thank you
After watching this I immediately broke down, cleaned and assembled my 12ga. Thank you! I think I will try this with my X750 and a Titanium G nib.
Relaxing, informative, concise, and the macro shots at the end are gorgeous.
Barring the overly loud birds...Perfect tutorial!!
Awaiting the creation of my pen and the shipment of it to me, then I will mod it with these perfectly demonstrated instructions.
Lovely sensitive hands. I love the birdsongs. Will definitely try this
Wow, you have strong hands! You pulled the nib off effortlessly while I'm sitting here struggling lol
James: I just purchased 4 jin-hau (or maybe 5). 2 of them came out just that easily, but other 2 I am having problems with and may need to us a tool tomorrow. The first one I could not remove. The second one came right out like hers, and it really surprised me.
The first time you remove a nib/feed is the hardest. A gripping material will help. If you have to use pliers use something rubber as a cushion and remember to pull straight backwards! :)
@@elaisagrace5232 I broke my first feed. I tried pulling by hand; heating; freezing; pliers; twisting. It ended up snapping that the base of the feed. ... I bought a second one, and the feed pulled right out.
Putting the feed and new nib back IN was the next problem. I finally got it by wrapping them in a pieceo f bicycle tire inner tube (aka rubber); grabbed them with flat nose pliers on the top and bottom at the flat place on the feed; pushed. Voila!
Now I just have to find the best paper, and practice writing with it. : )
I am a surgeon. Whenever you want I can take you with me to theater for ANY operation !!! Great job,thank you !!
I'm pleased.
Thanks. this is helpful.... And I must say, I love the nail polish... Looks really nice...:)
LOVE MY JINHAO x450 and x750 PENS!! I'm so ready to try out the different nibs that can fit. Can't wait to try this. :)
I also saw someone make the channels on the feed a tad deeper/wider with exact-o-knife to help with flow. I'll experiment.
Best video I've seen on how to do this, thank you.
If you put the nib up to the second fin and then heat set it by dipping the nib and feed (already in the grip section) into 190 degree water for 30 seconds and then squeeze tightly with a paper towel until it cools, you can heat set the plastic similarly to an ebonite feed. It solves any and all railroading, making this nib write like a true vintage flexer.
Colin Martin is there anywhere I can find a tutorial to do this?
Is there a way I can contact you? I'd like to know further
Celsius or Fahrenheit?
@@francisportugal5584 you better hope its Fahrenheit haha
@@francisportugal5584 Fahrenheit. Water reaches the boiling point and vaporization at 100 °C.
beautiful video! i've shop 3 x750's pen ! after this video , i'm shopping Zebra G nib. Thank you!
Beautiful video.
beautiful video, lovely sounds too
Thank you!
You are very welcome! Please keep the videos coming!
Also, you have very beautiful hands, and beautiful handwriting
I love the video style
lovely
Nice sound track!! Unexpected can’t wait to fill my jinhao w/these
I love birds and fountain pen! So I enjoy! Greetings from Italy!
Well I for one am freaking impressed!
Well I just followed your instructions, did a small drawing AND IT WORKED! Amazing, thank you so much for sharing.
beautiful your hands and birds' beautiful song, it's impressive. :)
Thank you very-very much! ❤
To be honest this is one of the easiest ways to adjust the Gnib that actually works almost 99% but please take the birds out. There are plenty of royalty free music out there that IMHO works better. Again, great tip.
Hello, i was trying to replace the tip on 4 of my x750 pens and found it an hassle to bend the zebra G's out.. but after a while i found an REALLY easy way..
The diameter of the zebra G tip is 5mm, the diameter of the Jinhao x750 nib is 6mm. so i took a 6mm drillbit from and tried to bend it out using that.. but this failed as it had spring so it bended back.. so i went up a few sizes and found that when you place the jinhao nib on the straight bit of a 7,5mm it works great..
so a short tutorial..
1) place the nib completely on the straight bit of the 7,5mm drill, with the pint of the nib towards the tip of the drill.
2) take flat unmarked pliers and pinch the nib and drill between the drill bit from the side (90 degree angle)
3) STARTING from the G part on the nib.. and then
4) move "upwards" to the bottom of the nib and the drill
5) after each pinch of the pliers move the same width of the pliers up..
6) dont worry, it will spring back.. this should be so.. just one pinch and move on.
if you use small pliers it should take 3 to 4 pinches.
afterwards.. take a 6mm drill bit to check if it fits on that perfectly.. (it should.. if nog give an overal 1 or 2 extra pinches.)
this all will make it perfectly!
No matter what I do I cannot fit the g nib into the jinhao 750 for some reason
My cockatiel and my dogs were mesmerized by the birdie sounds.
beautiful handwriting " Congratulations !
Amazing !!!!!!!
Thank you, great job on the video, I love the close up takes at the end, nicely made and good quality. Wish it was clearer what you do with the pliers, the rest I understood. I wonder if any of the antique nibs I like of the same size would work Falcon, Iserlohn 70F, Hunt's Imperial 101 for example. Guess I'll have to try, this is very cool, it'd be nice not to have to dip all the time.
Espetacular , gostei
I'm so jealous of all you people with beautiful writing.
Thank you !
❤❤❤❤ beautiful 🎉🎉🎉
AHHHH the bird comments LOL waiting for my Zebra nibs to arrive and try one on my 159. Great tutorial.
The birds sound is nice and relaxing. Maybe little distant would make it more wonderful.
Thank you very much
Beautiful hands
Using a 5/16" drill bit and a small hammer to shape the nib around the drill bit, it worked well to match the needed shape of the Jenhao. When siding the nib and support back into the pen I used a thing blade to keep the relationship with the nib and support. It was difficult and required strength. Flow is still a minor issue, but this is miles ahead of constantly dipping into a bottle of ink.
As a artist, I've tried this conversion... I'd rather just use a dip pen than buy another Jinhao and save myself hours of frustration. They do not last, they leak, they are absolute rip off junk. It's no inconvenience to use a dip pen... I just add a clip on reservoir.
The bird sound tho
That shit wil haunt me in my dreams
I recommend placing something around the jaws of the pliers before you squeeze the nib, such as electrician's tape, if you want to avoid marking it through metal to metal contact.
Super👍
Bonitas, buenas y asombrosamente baratas las plumas Jin Hao. Yo tengo dos y estoy encantado.
Owww fantastik
I like your creativity in this video.
You have "talked without talking", and used "natural music - bird songs" instead of "Artificial music".
The tutorial is very clear and focused to the point. Pace, camera angle, focus, hand - camera coordination are pretty good too.
I only just found your great tutorial and recently made a conversion leaving me with questions hopefully you can answer, are there different types of G nibs and my stopping (overnight) using the nib seems to make it so the pen needs priming again. I would appreciate if you can answer, thank you.
The video is much better than the presented nib.
what other inks do you recommend to use other than the one you used here? in case it is not available. thank you.
I'll also give you a pen like that now.
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for thid intresting video. I tried something like that with a Jinhao 450 a golden Zebra G nib. But I think there is an oxidation problem. Is that possible? Would it be be better with the nibs yous use here?
I got an X450 on ebay fitted with a Zerba G, but find it railroads like crazy, and has to be primed with frustrating regularity. Perhaps my Waterman ink is just too thick, or maybe the feed needs to be cut deeper. Not sure.
Nice video. What did you do with the pliers to the zebra nib. I also have a Jinhao 750 with a zebra nib and it love how fine it writes. However, it seems too dry as if the ink just doesn't want to flow and I'm wondering why. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks so much. The birds were a nice touch.
Hola Laura. Debes aumentar el tamaño del canal de flujo de tinta. Para ello usa un bisturí y lo debes hacer con mucho cuidado.
Your hands is very very nice.
just ordered my jinhao x450 white and gold, i just need to find my cartridges, maybe buy more zebra G nibs for my noodlers ahab
What do you do with fast rusting of the nib in this case?
What happens if cracks don't match? My jinhao's feed has no cracks/grooves.
does it need high end ink?does normal low priced fountain pen ink work with this setup?
im struggling to do this mod. i bought 2 & broke the fins on the first one. 2nd one I am being more careful but I just cannot get the zebra & fee to go back in. Seems like the nib shape is quite good, flattened, but it's just jamming hard only half way in. been trying for hours.
Can I do the same with a Jinhao 599 using the Zebra G or Nikko G?
I followed this process successfully but shortly thereafter the ink (Noodler's Black) stopped flowing despite my attempts to cleaning the pen with water. The main problem, however, is that I cannot remove the nib from the feed. Suggestions please.
I would turn down the bird chirps just a bit. They're a bit loud and shrill, which is distracting.
Hello, Kiana! thanks for the share.
Is it necessary to clean Calligraphy nibs regularly in the fountain pens? It good to leave with the ink? Rusting is an issue and I have noticed My Baurce-Rose nib and some other steel nibs getting oxidized with the contact of the ink. Will this shorten life if leave as that not cleaning regularly? Is water good to clean the nibs? Thank you again!
I would recommend you to watch this video th-cam.com/video/ZH_2R2L-wio/w-d-xo.html Very helpful.
@3:20 ish, i see several people fill their converter then re-place it into the pen feed setup. Why would one do this in stead of just sucking the ink up through the nib and feed with the converter on the pen body? thats how i fill all mine, from generic international converters to my con-70, they all get filled installed. Not only can you then write immediately, but the feed is full by virtue of how its filled, so you get more ink as well.
Can someone explain why some folks fill them separately?
Gran video. Yo he tenido problemas al momento de aplanar el nib, porque las puntas se me desnudaran. ¿que fin tiene "calentar" el nib como usted lo hace? Tiene una letra muy bonita y me uno a otros comentarios sobre sus manos. Debería ser modelo de Joyería puesto que tiene unas manos hermosas, lo digo con todo respeto. Un cordial saludo desde Medellín, Colombia.
Wow gorgeous hands. What was this video about again?
All kidding aside. Thank you for the video. Yours is the only one that explained that the nib and feet first cut must be aligned. But you do have beautiful hands!!
henryher thank you so much! 😊
What size worked for the jinhao 750?
I love this video, it is so professional. And, I love the chirping background!
veaudor thank you!
What kind of paper did you use? I have anx450 with Goulet EF I use on calligraphy paper but use Platinum Preppys on regular notebook paper because they are smooth for a fine point and the ink doesn't soak thru.
Love the Preppy
I love your birds!
But there is an ink flow problem. I recently buyed one...can you tell me how to fix it?
How often do you clean the feed and nib?
I bought a jinhao g nib fountain pen but the nib is sharp and not smooth, scratches paper, and ink flow stops after a few lines.
what is your best paper to write on? please
Great demo and video. I think you used a macro lens for video. I managed to do it too but I had to cut the feed to fit the nib. I used Jinhao 750 and 150. They both work very well. Do you know a flexible dip nib brand that is less scratchy on copy paper? I will try brause and manuscript nibs with fountain pens. Did you try them?
You can smooth the nib by rubbing it in circles, back and forth on an emory board. Fountain Pen Revolution is a TH-cam channel with a great tutorial on smoothing a nib. It will always be a little scratchy even after smoothing because of the fine point.
I do it with fountain pens but with G nib I tried and ruined a Nikko G. I ordered Brause Pfannen nib, which has an intentionally curved tip for smoothness. I will try it with Jinhao 750, and I will share my experience once it arrives.
Is there an advantage to taking drawing ink directly into the reservoir, rather than drawing in through the nib? Very elegant style to your writing and your video.
John Matthias fastest to fill up reservoir and less messy! I try this method and never look back!
👏👏👏😮
I liked the pen and writing very much. I didn't like the tweety bird instead.
Saya mencoba Jinhao x450 dan Zebra G nib, tapi tinta pena tidak bisa mengalir dengan lancar? Apa penyebabnya?
Здравствуйте, а где вы покупали чернила noodler's black ink waterproof?
Nadya K Здравствуйте, на ebay заказывала. Продавца не помню, но там много кто выставляет на продажу.
Kristine Greke спасибо вам 🙂
Have you increased the size of the groove in the feed to give more ink flow, I just cannot get mine to write, the ink runs down the tines half way, then refuses to go any further, yours seems to be flowing very well!
I haven't done any changes.
In that case I will have to start looking at why mine does not feed. I think the bird sound is very nice coupled to your video, infinitely better than the loud music that most people seem to feel is a requirement to accompany their presentations!
Englishman French Thank you! 🤗
my dog was confused by the sound coming from my laptop, lol. But I agree nice background music for fountain pen nib exchange.
Great video, but had to silence the obnoxious bird chatter.
What camera and lens did you use sis? great video
Jonathan Febrianto thank you! I use only my smartphone Samsung GalaxyS6 for my videos.
Jonathan Febrianto for photos: Sony a900 and sony macro lens 2.8/100
even for the close up scene? its so sharp, im using s7 but didnt believe it could make such crisp video. ^
Jonathan Febrianto yes. Old videos I took with Galaxy S6, new videos with Galaxy S8. I don't have professional video camera.
can we use zebra gnib in both jinhao x450 and x750 fountain pen
I have heard it works for both 450 and 750, but have not done it yet myself.
Excuse me, why did you change pen for the final writing? The pen you swapped has a silver ring, while the flex-nibbed one writing at the end has a golden ring. It makes me think the swap doesn't work so well after all... Could you explain, please? I might be wrong.
silvia bi because you need to read description box. Thank you 😉
This being said, I find your channel enchanting. I share the same love for all kinds of stationary -pens, paper, letters and wax seals in particular. And calligraphy of course. ps. Your polished hands are bewitching.
The X450 and the X750 are not similar. Jinhao sells the Zebra G nib only in the X750 as far as I know. The X750 is bigger. The most important thing is the feed. Try to put the cap from the X450 to the X750 once, then you will notice the difference.
I hope u realize that u didn't need to remove the converter to fill it up w/ ink
Hotaru Ichimaru i found that's the fastest way to fill completely, and on this case, with the Chinese's converter!
What about the x450? Is that a good pen for the Frankensteining?
Adwitiya Dixit Yes, I think.
And Brause? Have you ever experimented with Blue Pumpkin or Rose?
Adwitiya Dixit no, I haven't.
Hola. Saludos desde Medellín, Colombia. Yo he usado Zebra G y Brause Rose. El Brause Rose es el mas suave flex nib que he probado. MUCHO mas suave que el Zebra G de cromo. Y puedes ajustarlo en la misma forma que acá se propone.
I CAN'T PULL OUT THE ORIGINAL NIB.... ANY IDEA WHY NOT?
Hey, were you ever able to do it? I'm struggling with that right now. Edit: nvm, I ended up using pliers to grab the tip of the old nib and I managed to yank it out.
What did you learn cursive from?
Hello, can I use a g nib on Parker sonnet ? Merci
Sorry, I dont know 😮
Would this work for the Jinhao 699?
I don't know. Sorry.
is it work for jinhao 599?
Ryan Jonathan Sorry, but I don't know.
i thought a bird came into my house...
HAHAHA
What is the size of the nib?
Numero 6
بكم ثمن؟
Rain-X treat your feeds for better flow.
Why would I do this?
Why the zebra nib, have you tried the noodles nib?
The zebra G is a very flexible nib. It is an improvement for a calligrapher.
will this work with a Jinhao 992?
DIEGO SANCHEZ Sorry, I don't know.
No. Jinhao 992 nib is a number 5 nib. This Zebra g nib is a number 6. I have put a G nib on to a Jinhao 159.
X750 or X450 would work as they all have number 6 nibs.
コンバーターの使い方なんかちゃいません?
Suara manuk e kebanteren, ganggu pol anjir
How long lasts each nibs
merci
This one is couple of month in use and works like a brand new.
Merci beaucoup
are you calligrapher
No, I`m not. I just like to write and draw.
I look forward to your next videos
