I recently finished a substitute for my old shoe box that I used to hold my pens and ink bottles. Here are a few pictures. More pictures are available here.

Now this is someone who loves their inks!

 

Well done! I like the pen drawer.

Thanks for the encouraging words. 

 

Here is a video that describes the box:

I know this is a bit late but that is really impressive. I've been thinking of ideas for ink and pen storage and came across this. At the moment I have 4 pens and 5 bottles of ink, and that will no doubt increase in the near future. I'll watch the other video(s). I don't see myself accomplishing quite that, though I got some good ideas like using the suede with wood dividers underneath for the pen tray.

 

Maybe my wife will be inspired to make me something once she sees this. She is much craftier than I. Thanks for sharing, I'm glad I found this!

Today I attempted doing something like this. The end result was super glue on my fingers and a messy desk. :o

I feel that's what I would come up with. I showed my wife and, like I said in my previous comment her response was "I could make something like that" :) I don't know though. She likes this stuff but it is far from a hobby for her. I may just buy a nice box from Michaels or Hobby Lobby and do the lining and dividers myself, and then use what he used for slots to make a pen tray.

      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
