Here is my desk.

 

Brian, it looks as if you live in an old house, too, with your old window in the picture. I live in an 1897 Arts and Crafts style house. You can see part of a five panel door on the left.

Yep, although not quite as old as yours, mine was built in 1924. I'm still looking for pens in the attic. :D

 

I see some Esties on your desk!

You are amazing at spotting Esties! No wonder you have so many. Yes, I have five on the left side there, and two more on their way to me. Thanks for all your posts in the Esterbrook forum, which encouraged me to get some.

Ohhhhh, way too big. You want to adjust the picture to about 140-160 pixels wide to avoid making people scroll over to the right to see it all.

bdngrd's image resized.

(width of 450 pixels works for me ). Nice big mug, and the 3 (!) watches made me grin.

What's that on your laptop screen :)?

 

and my desk

http://www.bennink.info/fpn/desk_1.jpg

This is as organized as it gets at the moment...the colored stuff is silly putty - you can throw it against the wall and it bounces back ( this version changes color with heat, purple/bright pink and orange/bright yellow ))

From left to right : 2 zipper cases, behind that study books and hat. tape, moneyjar, pen tin no1, stack of rewritable CD's with some empty DVD'son top. copmuter screen and keyboard/mouse combo. Pen jar no2, some essential software and a desklamp and a wacom tablet.

Guitar on the wall, piano on the right, water for the cat under the desk. ( and some water thing against the central heating thing on the wall that I always manage to kick off..)

The real mess is in the drawers ( but know I can find anything within seconds ! )

left: two shelves with paper.

middle : drawer with snailing stuff ( stamps, seals..)

right : three drawers. From top to bottom : more snailing stuff and gadgets/ small items( glue, embossing powder, address labels, envelopes), middle : fountain pen ink and turtle wax. bottom: computer cables and printer ink.

Hey, thanks for the resizing, I'm going to have to learn how to do that. The wallpaper on my screen is from a Mondrian painting.

I just finished cleaning my little office last week. It was a total disaster. I'm still working on other areas of it, but for now the desk is clean!

This is a fun thread. :D

I think so far I win on "messy".

Wim - we need pics !

Ha! Never! :D Not the way it is now... Still not rebuilt my study - hopefully soon :lol:

 

Let me say this: there are times that even I can´t find anything.... :bonk: :bonk:

 

Warm regards, Wim

I'm afraid I'm prepared to show no more than this small section ... and then only as a test of my new camera <_<

 

Actually, it's not normally quite this bad, but I was transfering pens between cases and this was the holding area. (Excuses, excuses ...)

Here is a picture of my writing desk. It formerly belonged to my maternal grandmother. The vintage brass lamp I picked up at a local antique store.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
