This was so helpful! I received a pointed pen for my birthday but was having so much trouble with the ink holding, prepping the nib and writing with it. I am so so glad you made this video. Thanks!

So, big thanks for the reminder to set up the nib by cleaning off the oils. I hadn't thought about burning it off - but great idea. I keep a little container of water nearby as well to keep the nib clean. I'm not a fan of dipping my pen nib into the bottle as I often dip the end of the pen in accidentally - so I pour out a tiny bit of ink into another shallow container. It has to be small enough to allow me to dip the whole nib into. It has been a trial and error process. Your explanations are so smooth - can't thank you enough for being so thorough.

Very helpful video! Thank you, Becca! Another useful video would be for cleaning nibs (I face big difficulties with removing water-resistant ink for instance)

Becca, I have watched a few videos so far regarding the pointed pen and how to set it up but no one so far has indicated how far the nib should be set into the flange. Thanks so much for your very detailed videos : )

Thank you for this nice and informative video! I need to use a nib for writing a few words in my greeting cards. Such as "Thank you!" or "Congratulations". I want a nib that is not too fine or too thick. What should I use?

I soaked them in lye (the one used for cleaning plumbing). But it seems they don't work properly. Like it "runs out" of ink even when theres still a big dollop on the underside.

How much you dip the nib. Thank you

I imagine that once one has burned off the factory oil, to then touch the nib repeatedly with fingers reintroduces body oils back. Whatever works for you
