Aww. Those look awesome. I want to buy a unrestored snorkel and repair it using your video on it. It inspired me...

Sound great...Take a look at the "how to service a Sheaffer PFM" video that will also help as the processes are similar.

Serwex Executive. A cheap piston filler that I'm using to hone my nib grinding skills. Going rotary tool now.

I have never ground a nib this fast. 5 mins flat. Writing sample next. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivan_romero/8522240562/) by IvanRomero (http://www.flickr.com/people/ivan_romero/), on Flickr

A sheaffer statesman I bought on eBay..thing was almost spotless. I ordered a sac and oring kit for it. The pen was smaller than I thought it would be, it will make good trade fodder though.
