The light you see at the end of the tunnel is that of a fast approaching train.

Thank you for sharing your visit jgysenbergs.

 

It must have been wonderful to see the birthplace of the excellent Bulkfillers (another VERY satisfied customer :thumbup: ) together with Francis and Werner in action. Great story told well. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for posting on our meeting Jos !

Note the last picture in Jos's post shows a special CNC lathe on which the tool head remains stationary, while the bar stock itself axially moves towards the tools.

Benefit being any vibration is avoided,and optimum precision coupled to an unbelievable surface roughness is guaranteed.

In fact one can see one of the transparent bulkfiller demonstrator barrels standing vertically in the middle between the tool head and the bar stock chuck.

Thanks for sharing! I love my Bulkfiller (FPR no. 18) - very obviously a labour of love by some very very talented people...

Too many pens; too little writing.

I have the conid bulkfiller flattop black now for about 3 months in use.

The pen , seems to be very reliable and has become my first choice pen.

I ordered a sleek demonstrator additionally as well.

I must admit the new Titanium nibs from bock are a bit more forgiving if it concerns flexibility.

thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
