Hi there,

 

My name is Matt and I am a pen maker. I wanted to join this community to connect and be inspired by all of the beautiful pens that are out there. Does anybody have any recommended threads for metal and machined fountain pens? Thanks in advance!

@MatthewMartinMakes Greetings from Pittsburgh!  :W2FPN:

I usually suggest that new folks here click on the "New Content" button to get a good overview of a range of topics (you can adjust how much/often it refreshes).  But in your case I'm ALSO going to suggest something more specific....

Sounds as if you would be looking for the sub-forum called "Pen Turning and Making".  There's a button towards the top left of the log-in page called "Browse" and when you click on that it will take you to a sort of index page and then scroll down about 2/3 of that page to the "Creative Expressions" category and then click on the link (it's the first thread in that section).

Have fun here, and don't be afraid to ask questions (the amount of knowledge to be found here (and not JUST pen and ink related) is astounding and I've found that the kindness and generosity of the people here in the sharing of that knowledge quite humbling.

@AkitaMom -- Thank you for your kind words!

I try to be helpful to new people, since I got so much help from people when I first started here.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
