Selecting Your First Oblique Pen Holder
« on: February 13, 2015, 11:28:54 AM »
I have created a way of helping those that are new to the oblique pen holder and since the majority of the world is unable to hold an oblique pen holder in their hands before buying it. I created a chart of the dimensions, specs, special features and where to buy all of the modern mass produced oblique pen holders. It is available on my website at the below link which is my Links page from my website.

The chart is called "Oblique Comparison Chart" and I created a version for both Imperial and Metric measurements. Enjoy!

I also have a few videos on adjusting nib flanges, making a nib flange, etc. Also there are several free guide sheets I have made which you can download.

This is just great Chris,
Not only for choosing a good production oblique, but also to get an idea of what works in case one is trying to make their own oblique. 
Of course you videos on the flange making and adjustment are also superb.

@ others in the forum,
This is just a teaser of what Chris is planning.  I can't wait for him to release his book on Obliques with full pictures and details both vintage and production holders.
