How does it do on arugula?
I'm not sure, it sort of disappears after a few seconds...

I have three girls...one with a twirlimg baton, one with a nunchaku baton, and the other with a staff. Each is very skilled at their skills.
I have installed multiple pen slots in each stick on both ends. At the end of their practice, i checked to see if any ink is left behind in each pen. She who did not fully empty their pen, needed to practice more...
Each day, I can completely dry about 10 pens. That is my maximum.

Ive made my own pen centrifuge with some twenty-four inch bolt croppers, an old fan and a pair of socks which definitely werent a Christmas gift, I promise. Surprisingly, it does the trick. More surprisingly, without killing anybody.

Great idea,
I usually remove the rest of the water from the pen, shaking it like a mercury thermometer (the section is wrapped with a paper napkin, оf course).

This is one of those posts that you just can't unsee.
EVERY time I'm at a store, and see a salad spinner, I think of it again.
Just yesterday, I was at Marshalls, and saw a small spinner, about half the size of the "standard" model, made by Sharper Image. It was on clearance, and I ALMOST bought it. I don't know why. Almost like a compulsion. 
.
I wonder if I'm suffering from some kind of Post Traumatic Salad Spinner Stress. I swear, this thing would probably spin a couple of salad leaves, max.. Perfect size for a fountain pen, though.
Maybe I'll go back there today, and see if it's still there......

I still have and use the one at the beginning of this thread. I have a motorized one that I made that is a copy of the one Parker sold, but the salad spinner holds the big pens that can't fit the motorized unit's trumpet. Go back - you'll be happy you made the centrifuge.
