nib tine adjust.wmv

So here's a crazy long and really dull video trying to help out with tine adjustment. Show you how to dry a nib up, and how to make one write wetter with only nib adjustments. You can hack a feed to increase flow if you need, but work with the nib first.

Thanks for the posting this video, did nto know you could adjust a nib until the other day. Tried your technique and turned a pen I did not like, because I had to bear down on it, into one that writes alost as good as my favorite fountain pen!

@asianepiphany --Thanks. And this is a good point. Some pens aren't worth sending to a nibmeister, though. And some people can't afford a nibmeister -- like me. :) Plus, simply adjusting a nib for flow is not that big of a deal.

This is very dangerous for a pen. I would highly advise against this because if you don't know exactly what you are doing, your nib would be toast. Please, just search out a professional nib meister for this type of work.
