The trunk is really cool, but looks like there’s quite a bit of mold inside in the lining. You may want to do something about that, exposure to mold can lead to health problems. Oh and if you want a fun, simple sewing project, you can make a pen wiper for your dip pen! Just cut scraps of cotton fabric in the same size and shape, stack them and sew them together in the middle (with a button, if you have a nice one). More sustainable than paper, and can be made entirely out of recycled materials!

@donteven8938 2 года назад

I agree with most of what your saying, but mold in different countries act differently. Especially countries that are extremely easily prone to mold tend to have mold that isn't directly affecting to someone's health. However I don't know if that's the case for Ruby

@molly_isabel1237 2 года назад

In the UK mold isn’t a big deal because we don’t have drastic heat. I personally don’t think she has anything to worry about. We’ve have a bit of mold in our House ,as it is old, and we have had no health issues or anything wrong with us and our family has been living here for about 40 years. As the other comment mentions its acts differently in different climates. But everything else you said i 100% agree with.

i love hearing about the sustainability of the victorian period! it's hard knowing now whether modern brands are actually committed to sustainability or just greenwashing. i may also have to look on e-bay for some victorian school supplies (or at least buy new ink cartridges for my fountain pens)

@allengrantham6693 2 года назад

Finding used antique nibs that are still intact is a bit of a surprise really. Older inks were corrosive, which meant nibs rusted and had to be replaced fairly often. They were commonly priced and sold by the dozen in advertisements for that reason. The ink was acidic and contained dissolved iron ions. With exposure to air, the iron oxidized and prciptated onto and withn the paper's surface, forming a permanent bond with a lightfast pigment. Creating the pigment after the ink is applied, prevents clogging of the pen which can happen with inks made from suspended pigments. Over time the acid corrodes the paper creating a filigree effect in old documents. So to protect your antique nibs, don't use acidic inks without washing the nibs afterwards. They are referred to as iron gall inks if I remember correctly.

@matildas3177 2 года назад

It's pretty common to find new-old stock of nibs, especially from the more common manufacturers. But sometimes, if the previous owner took good care of their nibs, you can find great quality nibs from the 1900s. I've inherited some of my grandpas old nibs and nib-holders, and they are far superior to what is made today.

@blackcitroenlove 2 года назад

I like to use unused ones, as they end up molding to your handwriting. Especially useful if you are like me and have some motor control issues. Ooly's Splendid Pen is also great for that.

@allengrantham6693 2 года назад

@@matildas3177 No such luck inheriting pens for me I'm afraind. The first pen holder I had, I pulled out of the snow while walking on campus. It was plastic with a cork grip stained with ink. Dropped by an art student I suppose. I was curious, so bought some nibs and ink at the bookstore, and gave it a try while journaling. I found it a great help for overcoming writer's block. Focusing on penmanship, diffuses the anxiety of writing. It makes it play not work. Just write words and ideas until the ideas connect into a pattern. Then you can find a thesis and start building paragraphs. Don't feel you have to start at the beginning. In fact it works best if you write the introduction last so you know what you are introducing. Write paragraphs, then arrange them in logical order. Don't feel bad if a paragraph does not fit into the essay you are writing. Save it for later. Eventually you will find an essay where it does fit.

Hello Ruby! I just wanted to congratulate you on your character and uniqueness. There are not many people out there, especially on the internet, that still value the antiques besides the collectors, obviously, and you seem to be a great role model for young people to have! I have Ben watching your videos for a while now and I am really glad that you publish content that encourages people to read a lot more! Keep on with the good work and I wish you the best and most productive school year! All the love

@Aurora-zr3cp 2 года назад

Hi Ruby! I also wanted the PaperLike screen protector but because of the price point, I went ahead and bought a matt screen protector instead because it does have 'grit' on it similar to the PaperLike but it doesn't reduce the quality of the iPad screen. If you ever do want to try another alternative, give it a try! Great video, by the way, have a wonderful week

hey, i'm pretty sure that paper like protectors break down the nibs of apple pencils quicker. just something to bear in mind

@juliea.3495 2 года назад

I’ve been using a paperlike screen protector for about three years now and so far I haven’t noticed any changes on my Apple Pencil. I do think you’re right and the paperlike slowly breaks down the nib but I guess it would only be noticeable after a very long time of constant use

@melanierippon7884 2 года назад

When you haul out the trunk & my brain goes “ I need to re-read all of Malory Towers, Trebizon & Chalet School NOW” 😂 Loved the bit about fountain-pen history at the end but the whole video was a treat! Thank you & all the best for the new term/year. 👩🏼‍🏫👩🏼‍💻🧳📚🖋

@cally393 2 года назад

This is the kind of video I've been waiting for! I'm a fountain pen enthusiast and use my pens for a lot of penpalling. I'm so pleased you are using cartridge convertors now- I recommend using a bulb syringe to help clean out your pens between ink colours. Aurora Borealis is one of my favourite Diamine inks and Monboddos Hat was actually designed by this amazing Facebook group that I am part of called Fountain Pen UK. It's such a wonderful supportive group- so I highly recommend joining if you enjoy using fountain pens!

But I loved the video. Cheers!

Just here to agree with your assessment of Rhodia paper- really good quality. I particularly love their more ivory, 90gsm paper (I’d reccomend the Rhodia R coloR head stapled notepad- not even a hint of ghosting with dip pens, and the sheen is to die for). Cool to see you ordered from cult pens too:) as soon as I saw the love hearts I knew hahaha. Edit: spelling

I like Sarasa pens a lot & have bought them here in the States at stores that sell them along with standards such as Papermate. I surely hope I won't ever have to pay s&h to order by mail. I'm a lefty & they're one of the few pens that don't smear as my fingers travel across the page plus they come in great colors. That's the bugaboo as far as writing with traditional fountain pens as the ink smears as I write. My trunk is hardly an antique, a gift from my mother to pack my things in when I went to college in the '70s. But it's held up well & now sits at the foot of my bed to store sheets & blankets. I have a fairly old typewriter I have saved, but can't find anyone that repairs them anymore.

I’ve been using the paperlike protector for over a year now and at first the quality drop and slight color noise is very noticeable but it’s definitely something you get used to. I guess you have to decide for yourself if it’s worth it for you - i use my iPad mainly for drawing and having the paper feel made such a big difference for me because I cannot stand drawing on glas. I might try some other brands in the future but I don’t think I could live without one at all anymore tbh

Also be careful with that screen protector! I have one similar and it will slowly break down the tip of the Apple Pencil over time and you’ll have to replace it. Although, I still think it’s worth it as I have taken notes exclusively on it since I purchased the iPad.

@meiderique 2 года назад

I read that you can put a nib cover on top of the pencil so it breaks down the cover instead 😌

@eoghanf7526 2 года назад

If you dip the nib of the pen in the ink, then start twisting the cartridge converter, the ink will come up through the feed and into the cartridge. This works better than filling up the converter first & then putting it in the pen :)
