Greetings
I visited the Chicago Pen show today. I expected a larger turn out but heard that many vendors left early. One penturner complained that he grossed only $20 and had 3 pens stolen. There were several pen makers there including Brian from Edison Pens. I saw some beautiful kit and kitless pens. Meeting these penturneres convinces me I have a long way to go in skill and artistry.
It was fun talking with Brian and hearing how we was able to turn a hobby into a thriving business. His pens rivals any of the "big" name pen manufacturers.
