TWSBI 580 Disassembly

TWSBI has instructions inside their pens showing how to take it apart, but I find that taking apart and putting a pen back together is shown best in a video. This demonstration will show you how to take apart and reassemble a TWSBI 580, 540, 530, and Mini, they're all identical in the piston mechanism assembly. If you've ever struggled putting your TWSBI pen back together, this is the video for you.

Midori Traveler's Notebook Arrangements

After publishing my initial video introducing Midori, I received some great suggestions from Midori fans about how to arrange notebooks inside the Traveler's Notebook leather wrapping in creative ways, which bypass the need to use any special rubber connecting bands.

Removing Vacuum Filler Pen O-Rings

***WARNING*** This is probably something your pen manufacturer does not want you to do at the risk you'll do something irreversible to your pen! But really, it's not that big of a deal. Basically, I'm showing you how to remove the o-ring that seals the ink chamber of your vacuum filler pen (in this case, a TWSBI Vac-700 and Pilot Custom 823). What this does is allow you to avoid having to unscrew the back filler knob of your pen.

Filling The Noodler's Ahab Flex Pen

It's been a while since the Noodler's Ahab Flex Pen came out, and I have had this video in my sights for some time. So without further ado, here is a video that shows how to fill the Ahab with its piston, as well as how to convert it to an eyedropper pen. I even show the various ink capacities that the pen can have, and how that compares to your average cartridge/converter pen.
