Thanks for this. I ordered a quill not too long ago and used it once. Now I know how to work with it properly and I would love to see more handwriting tutorials.

I bought a sketch book a while back and wanted to write with a quill in it. It’s a leather bound book with weathered looking pages. Been studying different magicks for a project I am working on and wanted the copy down the Book of Shadows. Also wanted this to help with an invisible ink that I made. Appreciate that people still show the old ways of doing things.

I ordered a quill and ink set from you guys a couple of weeks ago and dabbling with it has been so much fun! It's so relaxing to have these videos on in the background while writing. I'm writing a Valentines day letter to my boyfriend so I'm really trying to perfect my writing.

A follow along, practice video of your alphabet would be awesome! I would definitely use that as a resource. Maybe a history of the mail/courier system of the F&I or Rev War period? I'm trying to build an impression of a British military clerk on campaign and the items they would have with them and the method of sending and distribution of letters on the march. Thanks for sharing your passion.

I believe the reason there is a left and right difference isn't because of the writing; it purely comes with the actual feather part. For left-handed writers, the plumage of the right-handed quills will obscure your vision and vice versa.

Thank you for this! I appreciate you and learning from all your knowledge. Really blessed me today.

Thank you, David! I love this video!

I am just starting to use a quill pen and was glad to find this instructive video. I am hoping to make my own ink as well.

Thank you for the information! Your dedication to the craft is clear

This was more helpful than I thought it'd be! I got my first ink quill last night and could not wait. Got a bunch of ink over my fingertips lol but that wasn't hard. interestingly enough I'm only doing this for a D&D campaign I'm gonna be doing over the next summer and I do want to go all out so this is perfect for what I need.

I've received an antique writing set for my birthday. I look forward to writing with my quill. I've made my own paper before & I think that would look very nice together. Along with my own seal. I'm very heavy handed

Working on learning quill-cutting as I work at a museum and one of the things I'm doing for an activity is having kids try to write with one. Only problem is how tricky it seems to be.

Would love to know more about how children were taught to write with instruments like these.

Let me join in the clamor for more round hand and 18th century writing tutorials. I already use a fountain pen regularly and I am very eager to learn the quill and this method so I can send letters in this style to my friends and family. I have printed out the round hand/Italian page you link to, for a guide. But it really helps to see the pen moving and constructing the letters. Could you show us how you write sentences? Thank you!

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING IT ❤

LOVE this video Thanks

Thank you SO MUCH for this…. Trying to find resources for this particular type of handwriting is so hard and I was so happy to see this come up in my search results when I looked. I’ve been interested in replicating early handwriting for a few years now and have gotten quite good - but I really love seeing it in action, and your methods and techniques for writing :) I’ve subscribed and I would very much love to see more of these types of videos! About anything to do with historical writing! I want it all haha. Great video! Thanks again! :)

Writes as good or better than my extra fine gel pens from the supermarket.

i would love a tutorial on your ink

Thank you for this video and your shop. I would like to see a video on care and cleaning of the quills. Also do you sell the stamps in your store?

Subscribed because of this video

They look authentic imo

Can you make a video regarding quill cutters and how to repair the sliding mechanism of the blade, please?

I am french but the letter is really hard to read because I am not used to the handwritting and the way we talk has changed a lot.

HI THANKYOU FOR THE VIDEO!

I just purchased the quill pen and I am so excited to get started. When you make your video on further coaching on round hand handwriting as I requested in my previous comment, could you please also talk about care for the quill pen? I live in a desert climate and when I use a regular fountain pen, I have to dip it in water frequently during my project as the ink in the nib dries so fast. I don't want my quill pen to clog up and become unusable. I would like to know how to preserve and extend the life of the pen. Thank you.

Can you show us how to write the whole Alphabet (upper and lowercase) in this handwriting? Love it! I would also love to see numbers.

Love the quill, it just arrived from you guys today! Should I use a slightly thicker ink when writing, I've been a fountain pen writer for a while and have used FP ink with it, but it loses ink a quarter of the way into a word. I've seen people use slanted tables to write, is this a necessity or is the FP ink just too wet?

How long do quill brushes last? I was gonna order from the site given

QUESTION: I read a feather needs to be tempered before using as a quill pen. Are the feathers I i got from you already tempeted. Or do I need to do that before I use it? I sure don't want to break my new quills! BTW, I never said thank you for the extra quill you put in my order!!! So kind of you. Wanted you to know i noticed and appreciae it!!! Austin TX USA

I had a year which sidelined much, but i am finally working on my quill pen writing. I learned script in the 1950s in school, so my writing is fairly fancy for today's standards. Per your advice I am just using my regular writing for now, and i will tackle round hand after I master the quill. My problem now is my writing looks globby. I am focusing on light touch, but it's a challenge and I am having to dip the pen often. So, the writing starts out thick, then rapidly thins after 3 or so letters. Should the pen make a scratching sound, or is that due to too heavy a pressure? Any advice?

How do you mail letters that you demonstrate in today’s world ? I’m guessing inside another envelope. Also, will wax stamps make it through the post office?

I am a leftie and I wonder if feathers are a thing for lefties too. Do you think so?

Hello, Do you ship to the uk? And if so how long would it take? @pumpkintwon primitives

How long does a quill last?

How long does it take walnut ink to dry?

If you want to study some REALLY OLD Cursive, look into "Roman Cursive" . After a little study & practice you'll actually be able to make out the various letters and words. Some fun facts- Roman Cursive was developed so you could quickly write on wax tablets or scratch graffiti on walls. It lacked Curls and Loops which came later, when writing on Parchment and Papyrus became more common. Like modern Cursive, it also evolved over time & location used. For example, at times, the Letters- E, N, & M were written as 'II, III, & IIII" respectively !

Iron gall ink?

Do you ship to Australia?

Whats the name of the song in the background?

Where can you buy these quills/pen on Amazon?

Can you write fast with these?

This is cursive writing, I'm in South Africa and we were forced to write in cursive writing in Primary school

So this video is not an actual tutorial but a commercial. No thanks.

Yeah dude that doesn't work. Quill pens are useless. Nobody can write like that. Its not 1776 anymore. Can't tell you how many times I have tried and it never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever works. Blotches and dry scratches...delightful.
