Toronto Pens And Pints 2017


Mags

Recommended Posts

Hello All:

 

So with the new year comes the new thread for Toronto Pens and Pints. We will try to post here or on Facebook when a new meeting is planned. The next meeting is likely on January 13th. Yes, that's a Friday the 13th. Perhaps it should be about the scariest pen ever purchased or the ones that just had bad luck.....Cheers, Mags

Hello all,

 

I'm a newbie in the world of fountain pens, and I look forward to meeting more local folks this Friday.

As a brief intro, I have just taken a Copperplate calligraphy workshop with Salman Khattak. A year ago I took an Intro to pointed pen calligraphy workshop at WonderPens, which I started visiting when they were located at their Dundas address.
I always liked fountain pens, but had the bad luck of getting some very cheap, scratchy and unreliable ones when I started many moons ago, which put a damper on things... Until now!

Hope to meet you soon,

 

Debora L.

Hi Mags,

It was great meeting you and many other members of the Toronto group today.

Could you add me to the chat group or let me know the procedure to message/interact with the other members?

Many thanks,

Debora

You need to set up BBM for android and or IPhone. After that private message your pin to me and I can add you to the group for chats.

I don't think I can add people to the group chat on BBM - or maybe I just don't know how to :-)

 

Don't you have to be an admin for the chat group in order to do that?

I will be there. Will bring some stuff for show-and-tell. For anyone interested in a purchase or a trade, I will also have a never-used Parker Duofold Centennial Orange.

      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
    • adamselene
      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
