Hope you’re all having a good summer so far. I’m enjoying all this shop time. :)
I thought now would be a good time to start raising money again for next year’s scholarships.
We all raised just over $6000 and have helped 6 kids out with $1000 scholarships. I wish I was better with words, but it means so much to me to be able to help out like this, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without all of you.

So let’s get started. :)

One winner – one pen.

All you have to do to enter is go here and read the details

So far 11 tickets sold! Wahoo!


Raffle will run from Wednesday, June 11, through Saturday, June 28, 2014.
If you have any questions please ask. If I forgot anything please let me know! :)

 

Here’s a load of cool materials that I have available, plus lots more in the shop, for that lucky raffle winner.

What's that blue rod stock in the first photo (the fourth one from the top, with the sticker on it)? It's pretty.

Well, you're about to hit 37, since I just hit the "send" button on my Paypal account!

Man, that Amadeo blue swirl stuff is nice looking.... :puddle:

You must be the most popular teacher in your school, to be raising this much money for scholarships -- and getting your students interested in pens in the process must be especially gratifying.

I may be popular with a few of the kids, but this doesn't help. ;)

 

72 tickets sold!

If we keep this up there may be 10 kids getting scholarships this year instead of 6.

 

Thanks everybody!

      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
