Recommended Posts

Hello I am making a Franken pens using 1 Watermans Ideal #2 and building rest of pen out of mahogany.
Do you know where I can purchase a filling mechanism.
I was given ink sac's but I need some way to fill my Section. so I think need an ink sac Guard/Protector for my nib Section. the nib stub seller does sell a means of filling my nib.
How do you suggest I fill my nib section .
And where can I purchase the part's to do so.
As I have looked and looked on the web but it is difficult to find?
If possible a make and model.
Any help appreciated.

You could make a button filler easily with these parts.

Parts could come from woodbin.ca - Martin is very nice and great to work with.

So you'd need a button press bar from him, and maybe some more sacs if you wanted,

and you'd need to hire a pen maker to make the pen for you, unless you can do this yourself.

Here are some photos of my old button fillers...

yeah that would work. You may need to modify the back of the section to fit the shield, and get a sac thin enough to fit inside, but yeah, that would work. BUT -

you would probably need to thread the section so you can remove the barrel easily each time you need to fill with ink or flush and clean.

Hello

What if I made the pen split in the middle.

How would I have to modify back section, in what way as I am novice .

that would be easier.

 

Then you would only need to press fit the first half of the barrel onto the section, and screw the second half of the barrel on and off.

 

Then mod the section like this...

I have been mulling over something like this for my pen, This is a simple model of my planned vacuum chamber.

Force, I like your design, but will it be necessary to be inside the chamber to write with the pen? Or, have you been able to stabilize the pressure outside the chamber such that you can maintain the vacuum? And, finally, I think I have a source for custom paper that will fit inside the Quink bottle, so let me know if you'd like to buy some.

I work in the moulding business where we vacuum degas the material (polyurethane) before it goes into moulds. From this I got the idea of filling pens with soft sacs, without the need for mechanical intervention. You place the pen into the ink and place them into a vac chamber. Under vac the air is drawn out of all parts, the ink will bubble as the air inside the sac emits, let air back into the chamber and the ink will be drawn (forced) into the sac...I think that's my principle.

So that will be the reverse-vac filler?

      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
