I'm not a tidy person but i try to appear organised so my desk always looks minimalist.....

Very nice and you've done a good job of hiding the mess, it looks so tidy. I have the same desk lamp as you do but haven't been using it since I moved house. I may have to get it out again, I think.

Thanks, I try...

As I see some people post what they do on here too. I might post a picture of my workbench and of my butterfly pinning setup later on.

While not technically my personal desk, this is a desk I visit as often as I'm able. This is my favorite place to write, in a log cabin in the woods along a river near Mt. Hood (in Oregon).

OH, yeah! I'd visit too.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

My desk serves lots of purposes like many of the others have shown here. Photography is a large part and competes for desk space with all the things of life we use desks for. I have a secondary one carved out of a shelving unit serving as my writing place. The desk blotter goes back to the early 1970's and is still one of the best surfaces I've found for writing. I'm still working on something good for pen storage, leading the short list is one of the small Bisley file cabinets where I could put in some kind of insert and could also hold writing paper, etc.

 

Anyhow here we are.

Retired, twice. Time to do more things, writing being one.

I had this one custom made from cherry wood last year. For some reason the year was to short to post it here.

Hi pen friends! So, this is my humble somewhat organized desk where I keep all my Fountain Pen stuff.

I just got this fake Wooton desk, and I haven't been able to find out anything about it. But I'm having fun moving into it!

Shuttlebug, that is the most amazing desk I've ever seen! You'll have fun filling all the nooks and crannies.

My biggest problem is that I really want it to look good, and right now what I have to put in the cubbies is a mish-mash of random (bleep). So now I'm looking for something like drawers or boxes for it.

At work, I have two desks, a traditional large executive desk I use primarily for phone calls, meetings and working on the computer, and a standing desk which at which I like to do all of my longhand writing. Given its purpose, the standing desk was decorated in a manner designed to inspire writing. The pens shown in this photo include a Pelikan 100, an Eboya and a Lotus Vamza. The desk set/lamp is an original 1920s Sheaffer.

      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
