Traditional Fountain Pen

[glenpen]

I 'm not sure I like this kit with having to put the cap on one side to use it.Is there a traditional kit that the cap be screwed on the pen whilst in use (if you get what I mean)

That's funny I am just doing one of them, thought it a bit strange no end piece for the cap at all and the same as you have to leave the to one-side when in use

 

[fortress]

They look very good Glen, well turned and finished Sir.

I like that kit and for anyone wanting a slim fountain pen I have found them to be ideal

 

[Buckeye]

It's a shit kit, but you could make it so the cap posts by making it a closed end pen. I remember school pens that didn't post, I much prefer pens that don't post.

Davey, just bought some from you & love the kits, I hate this attitude that if I don't like it then it's shit

I bought 5 of these when I first started, sold 4 only got one left for a long term project.

Great looking trio of pens Glen.

When you pay fourpence do not expect crayfish in other words they have their place in the sun. I love them because they don,t post for me that would make it a very long pen The pens you have shown us are great.

What are they like writing, is the nib comfortable, ink flow beaut? these are requirements for a fountain pen.

Davey

That's true, Dave, but it is still a shit kit, the lower barrel is far too long and the top barrel doesn't have a decent finish to it because it lacks a band, it smells cheap, looks cheap and to be honest is a shit kit even if I say so myself. I have lots of them and I can't bring myself to make up such a shit kit

I will concede that not everyone will think they are a shit kit and the pen's Glen has made look great.

I quite like the kit. I think it looks good like your pens Glen.

 

[Doug]

You look to have made a good job of those Glen

 

[edlea]

Look like four nice pens, Glen.

Bought my first kits this week to use with plastic blanks only. I will have to reserve judgement on them until I've finished a couple. Must admit I didn't realize that you couldn't post the cap .

 

[Les ELm]

Nicely done.
Would be over balanced with the cap posted.
