Fun! When I was about 10 years old, anytime I found a feather I would cut the end off and match it up with the diameter of ballpoint pen cartridges. Sometimes I had to adjust the length. Everyone at school was jealous.
I tried to make some real quill pens but they didn't write very well. Probably because I didn't know about the whole process and just whittled the tip. Plus it wasn't practical for school.
It writes even better if the papers at 45° angle and the pen is parallel to the floor you'll notice there were Puddles of ink where it was a little thicker and heavier that's why writing desks were the way they were
That's a real feather in your cap! hehe
Du dum tsss! 🤣
Helpful information, thank you!
And did you know, that's why the knife used was called a "pen knife ", for trimming your pen with😃. Oh, you did know that, sorry😒
I actually never thought of that! 😁 It makes perfect sense!
I'd love to see you making an articulated and hardened leather gauntlet
I love it!
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought you had wrote “Kill Trees” for a second there...
Awesome
And he has nice penmanship... impressive!
Nice I even have a bunch of Turkey feathers !
Where does one obtain turkey feathers, if there aren't any random ones lying around randomly in one's yard?
Nice !
I think you missed a few details. 1. You don't use the bit of the feather where there is white stuff inside, only use the calamus at the front. 2. You should remove that yellow debrus stuck inside the feather before doing anything else.
very nice
I love your videos :)
This is a good one my sister in law has access to dozens of turkeys feathers lol
Instead of sand can I use salt?
PD: Great vídeo!
Where exactly is that slit /cut groove ? on the nib > does it channel the ink --onto the paper !
Can one do GOTHIC lettering with another broader nib ===do u sand the nib tip ---smooth ?
question, will dirt work instead of sand?
I don't have sand anywhere around me so will soaking it in water be ok ?
feel the ink in hollow part up ?
One I love it two how is your day going so far and your channel is awesome
1. Thanks! I 😁
2. So far so good! I was in a mad rush because the original episode to be released today fell through. Glad this one is fun and fast!
3. Glad you are enjoying the content! Thanks for being part of the fam!
Skill Tree your welcome my man keep on being the amazing person you are and can be
Make a big book
Will do!😁
The end needs clipped from the feather BEFORE you soak it in water, and you really need to get hot sand inside the shaft, as well as outside. It makes no sense to soften it in water, then harden it in sand without doing something between these steps. After soaking and before heating in sand, you're supposed to chape the quill. And leaving the feather in the sand more than a few minutes is a very bad idea.
Seriously, where on earth did you find this method of making a quill. You have all the steps out of order. I mean, do the even make sense at all to you? First you clip the end off the shaft. Then clean the inside and outside layers from the shaft. Then you soak it in water overnight. Then you clean the inside and outside again. Then you cut the nib to the desired shape. Then you heat it in sand, but not too how, or for too long.
This is how they did it before the metal nib came along. It's detailed in many books. Unfortunately, too many think TH-cam videos are a good place to do research. Uh, no.
Now here I was taught that you take all the feather off the quill, or leave just a bit at the top for counterbalance. And so you can see it and not stick it in your eye. Then you soak the end in sulfuric acid to harden it, which turns it yellow. Then you rinse it, then you shape it. Or sell it and the end user shapes it.
