22:00 the thing I learned from figurine joint repair is to use a hand-turned pin vice and 1-1.5mm drill bit, carefully drill a hole only at the remaining stuck pellet, use a tight sized paperclip(can be roughened or even score some teeth with wire cutter) to the drilled hole on the pellet, and pull it out. Dremel/motorized hand tool is always too harsh for that job
Hey Doug. Not sure if you’ve heard, but yesterday Jinhao released a new pen called the 1935, with a guitar clip. Figured it would suit you and it’s only $15 USD.
Another beautiful restoration completed! Those little jingles or songs are very useful to imprinting information in your mind. I still remember the definition of MCH, ( Mean Corpusculer Hemaglobin ) MCV, ( Mean Corpuscular Volume) and MCHC ( Mean Corpuscular Hemaglobin Concentration ) from a Laboratory Techniques class I took in college. I had a particular difficulty remembering those, and so I sang them over and over, to myself and I aced the test.
Thanks for another restoration show. They are invaluable for any enthusiast because by watching over your shoulder we gain a little of the know-how of that vanishing race, the full-time pen mechanic. BTW, lovely guitar; what make is it? Cheers from Taipan Teddy.
I love these restoration videos. I learn more about pens every time. And that was an especially beautiful intro.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved that you polished the underside of the nib. I respect the "If we have the opportunity to do a thing right, we should do it right" ethos.
Thanks. I think polished gold would flow ink better than old ink encrusted tarnished gold!

Love the musical intros. Very nice.

I have one on the way!
We do
Nice restoration. I noticed you skipped on an opportunity for a “That’s what she said.” I completely understand the need for restraint.
You noticed!
Yes - yes we do! Especially when those musical introductions are done on such beautiful guitars.
Couldn't agree more!
Have I got stuff for you! Tuesday the postal service will be operative, and I will hope for a person to transport!
Can't wait!
Nicely done, Doug. That the pen was partially restored was a plus.
Can you see the ink sloshing in the barrel without shining a light into it?
Yes!
jinhao 1935 review please
On the way.

Yeah. Great teaching tools!
I damaged a cup and was able to take a heated ear tool (slightly spoon shaped) and melt the cup lip back into shape.
Ebonite will do that! Good for you!

It is a Martin 000-28vs. Thanks!
@@InkquiringMinds I'm more into the guitar music than the vintage pens. That Martin sounds great!
