3rd raffle for the 2014 scholarship.

 

It’s that time again – and here’s the newest pen for the raffle. It’s made from Golden Brown acrylic, and comes with a #8, 18k gold nib.

If you win, and you don’t want this particular pen, I’ll make another pen with a #8 nib, whatever material I have as long as it’s big enough, c/c filler. I know this brown isn’t for everybody. http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g

The #8 nibs come in fine, medium, and broad. I’ll do any grind you like at no extra charge.

Ends 9pm central US time, Friday August 16, 2013

 

For more info go here.

 

And the video where I gave away the first two scholarships is finally here! :)

I'm so glad you can't see my hands shaking! :P

9 tickets already sold!

 

Remember - if you win - you can pick your pen - either with or without this nib.

 

One person has suggested to let the winner pick whether they use the gold nib or steel nib - so that way more money can go towards the scholarship. Sounds good to me. :)

Another way to look at it it's to let winner pay for the gold nib if they want it or get a free steel nib. They a getting a pen almost for free minus the ticket purchase. If I win I will pay for the gold nib so no money is taken away from the students. Being a CC teacher, I know how much a scholarship can mean to students in order to improve their lives for themselves and their families.

Wow, what a great thing to do. I never would have made it through many years of post-secondary education without scholarships and fellowships.

Thanks!

 

Ken - the first time I saw this video was just the other day when I uploaded it - and it was a bit weird for sure seeing myself up there - I remember feeling so nervous and shaky. But it's an amazing feeling knowing that I'm having some sort of impact on their lives. Even if just a small one.

Frank,

 

I have bought a ticket for almost all of his raffles because I support the mission. If I win then that is a bonus.

I'm the lucky stiff that won the last one! It is one of my very favorite pens and has been inked ever since I won it.

      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
