Not looking for myself, but for a gift for my dad, who knows how to write with those things. Some research shows that flex nibs fell out of favor by the 1950s, because people were writing in increasingly simplified cursive, which did not require flex nibs. Flex nibs can produce a stroke from...

They came to visit me and this is what he had this morning: The Heart Stopper: Half a pound of smoked bacon, four large sausage inks, two...

How to bend a complex shape in 1/4" aluminum rod? The process must allow me to make the bends precisely at the right interval and at the right angle, and the steps must be repeatable. A jig with pegs maybe?
