Nun and Zaiyin

By Dovid Nissan Bressman -

The head of the nun is unbalanced, should it be fixed with hosafas dio on the bottom right part of it or shav vial taseh adif? (maybe it would make it too wide?)

The Nun in the second picture is moiel havchanos tinok?

























In this third picture is the second zayin of Mezuzas moiel havchanos tinok, (Some say that 3 and a half kolmosim is a kosher nun sofit at least bidieved).

    The word anochi, is kosher as it is. The metayeg (as usual) made a mess. If you want to add dyo to the right it is ok. [better - if you would have time - to scrape away that whole top [above the original rosh] and reshape the rosh and tagim.
    The venasati is a shaylas tinok and should be fixed (by adding to the right of the neck, and slope it, so it will look more as a nun).
    The zayin is definitly a shylas tinok (show the tinok several zayins and nun pshuta, then cover the vov tov of the word and ask.

Note the following:
1) The sofer is writing on a light table, which means he does not have to worry about planning the spacing and can just trace over the letters. This saves a lot of time. This also minimises mistakes and saves time of repairs.
2) The quill is a plastic kulmos with a repository, which means you need to dip it into the ink every few lines instead of every few letters. Also you do not need to sharpen it and make new quills. Both of these save time.
3) The klaf today is more refined and smooth, easier to write on. Not uneven and rough like the old days. I'm sure lots of "mei klaf" is added. This enhances writing speed and quality of writing.
4) Double sirtut. Again this enhances quality and neatness.
5) The tagin / …
