First time I've seen that. It really is amazing all that is required to make a first tier fountain pen.

Thanks for the link.

There should be a pinned post that has links to all of the various 'making of' videos.


The ones off the top of my head in addition to the Pilot one.

Awesome, Altec. I second pinning.
The Pilot video was posted a while back on another board but it deserves as many views as it can get. The nib-tipping portion is definitely the coolest FP-related thing I've seen in a long time.

These is a Japanese guy whose name escapes me. I see him every year in LA.
