Actually happy with the internal polishing on this fountain pen. Next, shaping! Commission, not available for purchase.

A workbench with assorted tools
Just a little mise en place before trying out a new tool and technique 🤞 Slowly getting pen making back on track now that the water damage is addressed.

Big hole in the wall is repaired. Bench and essential tools are back in place so I can start turning again. Going to slowly reassemble the rest and make improvements - dedicated lathe stand, new storage.
White is rough to work with for sure
To do:
- Finish xacto holder
- Make blank cutting jig
- Make next 4 commissions
- Japanese eyedropper design
- Pocket pen design
- Inlays
- Next round of commissions
I need more hours in the day.
I'm not planning to sell these, unfortunately. I first saw robspenworks (Robert Sanchez) making them, and while I wanted one for myself, I think of them as "his" product.

Hey, that's not a pen...
I hope everyone is as okay as possible, in addition to the shop carnage
Oh no!
One of those cases where it needs to be perfect since it's so simple...

And finally catching up on the backlog. A Spindle in McKenzie Penworks Clarity for a return buyer. Mid-capacity eyedropper (3.25-3.5ml). This had better be my last demo for a while 🤣

Today we have an Augur in Harley from Fountain Telling. This one has a brass detail in the section to mix things up, and a high satin finish (I'm thrilled how much luster and depth the blank has even without a gloss polish). This is the second Augur in the wild. Still refining the shape and process.

After enough obsession I'm ready to send this one out to Nibcake Workshop. Custom dimensions, including three sections! (Jowo 6, Bock 250, and Bock 380) They wanted clearance for stacks and big nibs, and a fun demo to show off their work. Blank is Blaze Orange Tint Demonstrator from The Pensmiths.

Pretty happy with this one at the end of the day! Custom design including sections for Jowo #6, Bock #6, and Bock #8 (see the cap clearance with the big nib).

My independent fountain pen maker (and other pens, and nibmeisters, blank makers, ink makers) registry has been rebuilt and relaunched! Please share and contribute (it has about 240 entries) makers.golempens.ca
Need to add more images and copy, but made a new website and launched it now instead of waiting to perfect it... golempens.ca

I need to stop accepting demos 😂
This one's for a nibmeister so I'm sure we'll get some freaky nibs in it!

Nuclear fuel rod or fountain pen. This one is a little different from my usual.
Sorry for no pen content in quite some time. Turns out my drive to create things is often tied to the state of the world.
That is absolutely stunning 👏👏👏👏👏
Isn't it? My handwriting will NOT remotely do it justice
