Anyone can enjoy their successes but it is the truly wise man who not only embraces his failures but is prepared to learn from them.

Well said!
Wow, perseverance paid off. What a complicated mechanism. What a pen!
Love this series! The saga comes full circle!
Doug, so happy you managed to revive the pen after some heartbreaking moments, very enjoyable to watch.

Yes! Thank you!
Fountain pens are simple hydraulic machines--but the devil is in the detail! This may well be the most useful of any of your shows, and I have learnt a lot from it. Many thanks, and cheers from the White Pointers.

We all celebrate with you. Thanks for taking us along. On a separate note, I just ordered a HongDian N23 with a medium blade nib; I rewatched your video for it.

@@InkquiringMinds This video does not have a double bottom, but at least a 10-fold bottom! A genuine delicacy for connoisseurs! So brilliantly choreographed! Thank you very, very much! I’ll laugh myself to sleep tonight!
That PenBBS parts bag sure comes in handy, I wish they were still available...

They are in stock now.
Thanks Doug for being so persistent. The pen is elegant as a 1950's Dior model and writes beautifully. It looks like you got some real answers from your fans on the net. I have one that I bought at the beginning of my collecting, because the snorkel fascinated me as a piece of engineering, and at the moment it still works but the snorkel doesnt slide properly into place, I am going to look at it again and see if I can fix it. Thanks again.

Great job, Doug, sticking with it until you got it sorted out. It's a sweet looking pen. Even with the relative complexity, the snorkel filling system is a cool part of FP history and very clever. Cheers.

Hey Doug !! Last time I asked you for a fountain pen recommendation under $200 and you suggested pilot e95s and I absolutely love it !! Now, it has been a while since I have bought a fountain pen. Please tell me the pen that you would pick between Leonardo momento zero, esterbrook estie and penlux masterpiece. You can also give some honourable mentions if you would like to. Don’t overthink it ! Just give me a general answer.
