LEROY lettering set by K+E, with technical pens, a useful tool for inking, lettering, drafting...Ep1 

Hi 👋 buddy, There was a time when everything needed to be done by hand and by using personal skills. There were no Autocad, Photoshop, and... so everything was natural and genuine. There are plenty of other fascinating tools like that, which I am planning to review in the near future. Sliding ruller, hatching ruller, drawing board, and plenty of others. Many thanks for your attention and support 🙏

Thanks a lot, buddy 👍 and good luck

Many thanks for your attention 😊 really appreciate your support 🙏

That's very kind of you ☺️ you're right it took me a while, and it cost me a fortune to collect them all. Every piece is acquired from a different place. Some of these tools are really hard to find these days. If you're really into art or graphic I really suggest watching the "Leroy lettering set" video. That's really a marvel of engineering ☺️

Hi 👋, many thanks for your attention 😊. I'm really thankful for your heartwarming comment & and I'm really happy if I could do any help. I wish you health and happiness 🥰

Wow 👌, I really enjoyed your memories. I admit that using the open top pens is way easier and less complicated. You also have a great versatility in changing colors and pen sizes swiftly. I appreciate your attention and wish you health and happiness 🥰 good luck 👍

@@sinashishehgarha3023 : Thank you. Those old sets like mine were beautiful, in polished wood boxes that have held up very well over the decades. I quickly turned from using paper for those technical drawings to using Mylar film with the correct frosted surface to accept India ink. More transparent, more uniform, much tougher than paper, and it could be cut to whatever shape and size were needed. A mistake could be carefully corrected by scraping with a blade. I bought big rolls of it, probably almost a meter wide. Not cheap, but those rolls went a long way. (Note for fellow fountain pen users: never put India ink into a fountain pen, it contains shellac that will destroy the pen. There are now great fountain pen-safe waterproof inks.)

I have two sets of those vintage series, just as you beautifully described: shiny polished wooden boxes, well made, and if well preserved will last you a lifetime. And Mylar film, I can vividly remember my university days carrying big rolls of them in tublar containers😊 almost every student from "facolty of civil and architect engineering" were carrying one of them 😀 you could tell them amongst others easily 😁 big T rullers, Big bags to carry plenty of stuff around, inky hands and sometimes clothes, oh dude what dreams may come 😊 good old days buddy, good old days...

@@sinashishehgarha3023 : I remember now that I started doing these technical drawings as an undergraduate. I was always looking for jobs during the school year as well as during the summers to supplement my scholarship, which paid for very little. One of those jobs during the school year was with a professor with a big intro class to one of the sciences - biology? - intended for non-science majors. He liked to use enormous posters that could be seen from the back of the lecture hall to supplement his lectures, and he would put up several of these at a time. He wanted these drawn and lettered beautifully. For this purpose, he had truly gigantic K&E lettering sets that could produce letters several inches tall or more. These rulers, guides and scribes were bigger than any I have ever seen anywhere else, and by a lot. I was paid by the hour to produce his giant posters.

@jasonbrentpresley Thanks, buddy. I'm also a fan of your videos and a subscriber to your channel. Really nice and various collection of compasses you've got. Many thanks for your attention 😊

🥰🥰🥰

Oh... really. So only the open top pens? But the leroy pens have really good quality. Way better than any other technical pens I possess. Anyhow... many thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck, friend.

@@sinashishehgarha3023 They certainly made hours and hours of arch drawing so much fun! I also use them as everyday pens. Thank you so much for your excellent videos.

@ChoralArchitect I actually used to use them as every day pens till I found Koh-i-noor Artist Pen. It's basically a pen with the mechanism of a technical pen but with fewer issues and a soft buttery nib. I really suggest them if you are into technical pens, although refilling them is a bit tricky as they are designed to be disposable but not something an expert like you can't handle. Many thanks for your attention and sharing of experiences 🙏 😊

@@sinashishehgarha3023 Excellent! I will certainly look into it. Thank you!

@ChoralArchitect Any time buddy, any time...
