My first Fountain Pens

[CSue]

These are my first fountain pens. I was really stressed about making them. I think the wood's from Nolan but am not sure.

Now that you have made your first fountain pens the mystery is gone. The real difference is the tip and the price you can get for them. Great wood selection.
You can be proud of your accomplishment.

Great looking pens! I like the fact that you keep to making this kit B2B. It's boring, but this kit really has to be done like this. Nice job!

I recomend having a rollerball kit saved if you do a show, if you have someone that wants that pen, but not in a FP, you can convert it to a RB in seconds. You can also use as a selling point for the pen. Worst case you sell the "upgrade" for the price of the hardware, it's not a bad thing to have those spare nib couplers in stock!

Thank you all! I believe I'm learning from the Masters here. [:I] Thank you bunches!

That doesn't mean you get a cut from the "big sales" when they come. . . some years down the road.
