Fountain Pens
« on: March 21, 2015, 06:48:08 AM »
I am a newcomer to the site.  In my introduction I mentioned that I made fountain pens.  It was requested that I post some pictures.  Here you go!

Those are nice. I didnt realize people still used them. My wife would probably love a fountain pen, her pen of choice for many years.

Welcome aboard, first tee,

Wow, those are exceptional! I sincerely look forward to seeing some of your model builds considering the level of craftsmanship you're demonstrating with these gorgeous pens.

May I asked what medium you are using to create them?

Cheers from NYC,

Michael

Michael,

The pens are produced from various plastic blanks. They are turned, drilled and threaded on a lathe.

Absolutely gorgeous. If your models are anywhere near as good as these I think that I will take up knitting.

Tee,

OUTSTANDING work on those pens! I used to enjoy the feel of a good fountain pen but alas, being Lefthanded, the smeared ink always was an issue  :(

No web page or catalog.  Just a hobby for me.  I sell a few every year. Always trying to recruit new foutain pen users!

I fidn them fascinating. One of my small prized possessions for a while was a masterfully crafted, reproduction German soldier's wallet that another hobbyist made. I acquired it for my living history impression. The really nice touch was that he included an original, restored fountain pen with instructions on how to fill and maintain them with each wallet.

They're just classy IMHO.

Again Tee, your work is great.

With a ballpoint or pencil I have horrible handwriting.  With a fountain pen my handwriting is markedly improved.  People comment on how good my handwriting is and I have to chuckle.  Not sure why but I think maybe it's because I have to write a little slower.

My son's school insist that fountain pens are used in English classes -  makes them concentrate on their writing.
