Hi Everybody From Setx

Recommended Posts

I've been seeing/hearing lots about this Fountain Pen Network, and decided to check it out for myself.

 

I inherited one of my dad's pens he used during the war, but it's kaput. Need to find someone capable of restoring it to use, without losing the patina. Also have 3 Lamy Vistas, 2 Nemosine Singularitys (going for more they write great when they work), my 30yo Schaeffer (had 3 lost 2 in all the moves) which I retired as soon as I got my 1st Lamy. And a pen from Fountain Pen Revolution, my first pen to use the body as ink holder.

 

Here to learn & discover more, and make pen friends.

 

Cheers,

 

Joe Sasser

Welcome aboard, from Charleston, SC. Given the frequency and degree of flooding your part of Texas has been incurring, perhaps you should collect Sheaffer Snorkels!

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Get thee and thy pens to the Holy Land on Rice Blvd in Houston. Click thy silver heels (they were really silver in the story, not ruby) together and repeat "There's no place like Dromgoole's There's no place like Dromgoole's There's no place like Dromgoole's" then go "West Young Man, Go West!."

Welcome, Joe !

 

I have my Dad's Parker. It is such a great treasure. I am very glad that you can cherish your father's fountain pen. :thumbup: After several more posts, and a bit of longevity, you will be able to post photos. Please share a couple of your Dad's pen -- full-length, showing the nib, removed cap next to the pen. A ruler, in the picture, next to the pen would be nice.

 

I have encountered several very skilled, pen-loving, craftsmen in our membership. You will be well-service. Meanwhile, DON'T FORCE ANYTHING ! Please be patient.

Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:
Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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
