Learning and trying things on leather scraps. I knew the pen of my old graphic tablet would be handy one day 8D #leather#art#craft

I was taught to use 'Marvel Mystery Oil' on the linkages in IBM Selectrics. www.reddit.com/r/typewriter...

Reddit - Dive into anything

A subreddit for typewriters. An appreciation for that primal hammer-against-paper feeling when you sling words onto a page.

Oh thank you! I'll look into it!

Elles touchent la bande, sans appuyer. J'ai vérifié qu'elle est bien débloquée. J'ai testé les réglages de "force" de frappe, mais ça n'a rien changé. Je suis presque sûre que c'est un problème de graissage, mais des fois que je passe à côté de quelque chose... des idées ? 2/2

Je viens d'acheter cette machine à écrire. Elle fonctionne assez bien, considérant l'état dans lequel elle est. Je l'ai nettoyée rapidement, et j'envisage d'apprendre à la nettoyer et graisser correctement. J'ai juste un souci : les touches s'arrêtent à fleur de papier. 1/2

I strongly suspect it's an oiling issue (that poor thing clearly hadn't seen oil in a long time), and I will learn how to deep clean and oil it properly. But I wanted to check if I was missing something first. Any thought?

So, I've just bought this old #typewriter. I've managed to clean it a bit and understood how it works, except... the keys don't touch the paper. It's unlocked, I've tried the heavier and lighter settings, but the keys keep stopping at less than 1mm of the paper.

This is the Owl out of my ink painting series. I used black, golden ink and liners to create the composition. #drawing#inktober

Still one of my favorite backgrounds I’ve made. 💙 #art#mandala

I woke up too early this morning and needed a bit of a warm up. Poplar in the fog. #Watercolour#YukonArt Painting of the day 1672.
