I have some nice new nibs, yay retail therapy. Also some nice ink (black & dark red).

Is there a device that will make easier the task of ruling, say, a postcard with an even array of, say, 5mm-spaced horizontal lines? I guess a piece of graph paper with a hole in it that I can fasten down would do it.

A nice drawing board is a wonderful tool. Roller rulers tend to slip unless you're very very careful - enough of a pain in the arse that just measuring the damn lines from the edge of the page ends up being easier.

You can also print lines onto a piece of paper, flip it over and rub graphite over the back, and then re-flip it and draw over the lines with a stylus (such as A PENCIL), thus transferring the graphite to the paper. Carbon paper will save you the diddling about with graphite, but is harder to remove afterwards.
