Renee of Scriptorium Pens is making me a fountain pen. I'm going to post photos of the process. This is a picture of the raw materials. The buzz is she's going to start the pen tomorrow. Excitement! HERE WE GO!

awesome!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

Nice material, but be careful with your choices of ink.

Ooh, we are getting this one in instalments. Nice. I hope he takes a long time on it, making it a long and educational topic.

 

 

Ohhh, no... that would mean you would have to wait for your pens all that time.... Perhaps you can just make do, stretching the topic?

By all means... Did not have access to your profile at that time... (are you a fan of Angie Sage, by the way?)

 

In my country Rene, sometimes Renee is mostly a boys name.

 

Now you put the emphasis on it, I wonder how the division is in M-F in the penmaking community?

I know there are other women making kit pens, as I've seen them post on IAP, but I don't know about any others making custom kitless pens. That doesn't mean they aren't out there, just that I don't know of them. :)

It is nice to see something being hand crafted. I think things made using nothing but automation lack an essential something.

This is just about the most beautiful fountain pen on the planet, to my taste. Can't wait for you all to see it finished!

 

And it's especially nice that it is hand made.

      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
