Great to see how you use your Passport TN, I use mine in a similar way. I have a Passport size with a Zipper Insert & Kraft Folder that I use for my wallet in the same way you do, a Monthly Calendar Insert, a Lined Insert for my Bullet Journal, a Lined Insert for Encouraging Spirituality Quotes I come across & a Blank Insert for Sketches/Doodles. It fits easily in my Man-Bag which goes absolutely everywhere with me. I tried a Standard size TN but it was a squeeze fitting it into my bag & with everything I use my Passport size for I really didn't have a use for it. I just find the Passport size more practical for my EDC. I actually cut the Standard cover up today & made a Leather Cover for my A6 Personal Journal with it. Greetings from Tasmania, Cheers, Tony
Hey Tony! Thanks for sharing how you managed and set up your TN! It's heartening and encouraging in how we get to see so many variations of setups between people with different use and purpose for their TNs! Cheers too! God bless! :)
How much would be a fair price for this ? I think I saw one on a 2nd hand market. This seems to be a model from the 90s, and the price I saw is still quite pricy, but im not sure how much these are priced.
Thanks for watching! :) It depends on your market and of course, demand and supply. A GOOD price range, IMHO, is about $70-$100 USD I got mine for about $80SGD
@@pen_journal That's actually about the same as what I guessed. $80 is a good price I think even 100 is fine if it's in a relatively good condition without too much wear or very noticeable scratches. The one I saw was almost $100 cheaper than a new one, which when I looked it up the new one cost about $330 So I assume the build quality or something could be better in the older models, which is quite common with some objects. Because it just didnt make sense if something is of the same build and quality, something that old cost only a little less. But I couldnt find much info about the 90s model of 1911L. From what I've seen, older pens even those that are almost mint condition that's never been use but have just been stored away for that long would usually fetch around half the price of a new one. Thanks for that info. But what about the condition of the one you bought?. Are there deep scratches and heavily worn, or light scratch and a few wear, does it come with the original box or just the pen?
@@holohulolo thanks for your thoughts. The one I got was about a 8/10 in physical condition. Micro scratches but nothing big or noticeable. Just the normal wear on a EDC. Function wise. No issues. I actually sold it off as I don’t really use it much.
God is so wonderful isnt He! I love to take my TN to services and take notes from the sermons. Jot down botes from the bretheren who need things, etc. Thanks for the beautiful video!
Praise God! Yes HE IS SO GOOD AND FAITHFUL, all the time! Nothing better than the good old analog way of notetaking, but to be honest, I use digital to take sermon notes. It's much more faster and efficient for me... I do have a dear brother who is taking notes like you do, analog way! :)
@@pen_journal My 32 year old son takes notes on his digital tablet as well! Taking notes helps me get a lot more out of the sermon for sure! Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Some are cool. I‘ll try them. Thanks. I don‘t get the dot for „gratitude“ though. The dot is the key for a task for a reason in default BuJo syntax. A dot can be extended to a forward or scheduled key, a box icon cannot.
Thanks for watching and commenting :) Agreed that the box seems a bit "weird" for scheduling and migrating, but somehow, I do prefer to use it over the standard dot.😅
Really liked this well-done and thoughtful post. I'm not a guy, but it's so encouraging to hear from a brother in Christ who bullet journals. I'm definitely going to use your "victory" indicator - great idea. We truly have much to be grateful for (being able to post here, for one). God is SO good and TFS!
Thanks for sharing this! My husband and I recently started attending a new church and they've asked us to start the same type of children's program that we worked at in our old church. I've been thinking about starting a bullet journal to keep up with everything. The keys you've suggested seem very intuitive. So much good information here - life advice, spiritual development - this was a blessing!
Cathy! It's been a while and it's so good that you and your hubby are still serving the LORD in your giftings! I'm sure the LORD has His hand in this! Just a quick share: I stopped the Children Ministry for about 6 months due to the sudden passing of my dad not too long ago, and have just started it again! What coincidence in the Spirit! Praise the Lord!🙌
You sound exactly like my friend, to the point I almost thought you were him for a second. I'd have to ask though. How'd you get your homemade booklets cut so cleanly? When I measure out my sheets of paper, they're always off by a few hundredths of an inch, and I have a small issue of my booklets ever so slighty poking out of my notebook compared to yours. Edit: I feel dumb. 1.) You have links in the description. 2.) I actually have a paper craft cutter I bought recently, and I put one of the notebooks I made with the paper cutter into my travelers passport notebook and I forgot that the other two notebooks I have in there are still the hand cut with scissors so they poke out a bit. The papercraft cut one are almost perfect in size.
I think it depends, as different folks have different inclinations, and likes. Every country brand, has their own strengths and weakness. To just mention the Big 3 of Japanese Cos: Pilot, Sailor, Platinum. I can think of one common word to describe them in general: CONSISTENCY. Their pens are very consistent in terms of "you know what you are getting, straight out of the box". Thanks for commenting and watching! :)
Hey , i really like all your pens collection but why don't you put the order link of that respective pen I really wonna buy them all Please share me this pen's order link ❤️
Ah, sorry! Forgotten about the cap! Typically I don't do cap disassemblies unless it's absolutely necessary. Given such, I had no experience in taking a 2k Cap apart to be honest.
I am a Christian and I love your letter to Jesus. I would be interested in learning more. I’m glad I found your channel. I just started a TN, and the standard size is perfect. I am a lady, I use my TN to keep up with YT videos and upcoming projects. New subbie!💜💜💜
Thank you for asking :) Yes. I used the dull side of the blade so that it won’t “over-scratch” the resin, but it’s sharp enough to remove the name embossing.
Lovely review, new subscriber, have been thinking of getting this pen, i do calligraphy and write copperplate as i my normal style, you bring up the same points i have issue with, the plastic feed, they really could have changed it to an ebonite by now, and the peice. For me it is very expensive and i will be saving for this, thats why to have to go get an ebonite feed is a bit much. Loved your review and i still hope to get this pen. I also am looking at tge Pilot custom 823, brown with medium nib, that from i have gleaned from reviews has no issues, its just not a flex . God bless
Thanks for watching Helen! :) The Custom 823, does come with a Pilot #15 FA Nib as well... same for the Custom 743, but they could be Japan Exclusive only; need to check. You can actually get by using the plastic feed, just write slower to prevent skips... Cheers! :)
Thank you so much!!!! It's more of a personal prayer walk, just soaking in the quiet atmosphere, away from all the noise and busyness of life, to get in-tuned with the Spirit... God, never disappoints!
I don't know how many times I have revived my safari's blue ink cartridge with this. Although the ink is fading away each time lol. I need to get a new cartridge soon!!
It could be a nib issue, BUT I would do these things in order: 1) Inspect the nib for misaligned tines. 2) Do a complete thorough clean of the pen and change to a different ink.
After disassembling my LAMY 2000 a few times, I have observed that the first couple of threads on the plastic piston shaft/rod have been chewed up by the piston knob thingamabob. I strongly believe that the strange sounds that one hears while trying to disassemble the piston is exactly the chewing sounds from this destructive process. I would not suggest disassembling the LAMY 2000 this manner. I have a partially destroyed LAMY 2000, now, which sounds strangely now every time, and I am not sure if I will manage to get a replacement piston shaft. I am noting that I have followed very strictly all the instructions available from retailers in RU-vid, and still that whole "catastrophe" happened. Do not take out the piston shaft. That would be my advice folks.
I see.. Thank you for your advice! That's one thing I did not see coming.. But given you have more experience in the Lamy 2Ks, that's good sound advice. Thank you! :)
@@pen_journal quite disappointed to be honest. I have asked LAMY Global whether they are selling a replacement piston shaft, and now wait to see what happens.
Great video! Nice and practiced without all the fluff so many of the ladies add to their reviews. Thank you. Love that you are not afraid to share your faith!
Thank you for this, my pen wasn't since 4-5 months and I was worried that do we have to buy a new one? I saw your video and it finally worked ...I can't tell how much grateful I am...🎉🎉🙏🙏
Hello, your video is very informative. I watched many videos about Lamy 2000, read many reviews and finally bought it from Amazon. But unfortunately I was disappointed. I was attracted by the overall look of the pen, no issues here. However, I bought an F nib and it was not as comfortable as I wanted. First of all, instead of a gold nib there was hard writing that looked like steel, and the ink was very pale and dry, hardly flowing at all. I washed the palate of the pen several times with warm water and mild pure soap, but the result did not change. .Since I trust the Lamy company, I sent it to the service instead of returning it. He stayed as a guest in Germany for about two months and returned. To be honest, not much has changed. My opinion about the pen is that it writes hard and dry, the ink is not enough for reflex writing such as signatures. I also have a Lamy 2000 OM nib, it is very thick so my writings are wet. , I don't think the pen Nib feels like 14 carat gold. Platinum "M" nib doesn't even give the pleasure of a fountain pen. I'm sorry, but I couldn't warm up to the pen, so what do you think I should do?
I think it all depends. First off, the Lamy 2K is a pen that has a sweet spot, not good for writers that tend to "roll" their pens when they write (just like me); so I used my 2k for short sentences (for headers and short paragraphs)... If you can manage and like the OM nib, and struggle to like the F nib, I would suggest to sell or trade off the Lamy (F) and just keep the OM. The pen should serve you and if it doesn't "fit" your writing style, than move on. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps! Thanks for watching! :)
I think the core difference is the fact that you can swap out different kind of notebooks in /out of your TN. And it can be used for different purposes. Some used it as a wallet, scrapbook, diary, sketchbook etc. It's much more customisable and more personal and more versatile compared to a "traditional orgainzer."
