uemuraw Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Maybe my 10-year-old boy is an aspiring nibmeister. Or maybe he should stop eating pens and pressing down so hard when he writes. Qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur. Link to post Share on other sites

cobaltace Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I have loved fountain pens for years. When I started making my own pens, I wanted to get good enough to make my own fountain pen. I now make pens nicer than those I can buy. My problem is nibs. I buy kits from Penn State and Woodcraft, but they all come with a medium nib. I would prefer a nice fine nib but dont know if they can be replaced or who would might make a suitable replacement nib. Does anyone have experience with this? I would hate to make a high end fountain pen yet be stuck with a low end medium point nib.
