I want to jump in

[dozuki]

I have been turning pens for a couple of years now for friends, family and anyone else who might want one. I think I have become pretty good at turning and finishing. Truth to be told I love fountain pens and want to move up and make some of my own after looking at some of the prices for quality pens. I am hope that you can tell me some of what I am getting into. I would love to jump in the deep end. Thanks for your help.

Read these over many times, they will teach you a lot about how to change, clean and use fountain pens.

I have only just started into fountain pens myself. There is lots of good info out there

Here is a really good reference link. I am slowly working my way through all of his articles.

Hope this helps. I am starting to love fountain pens, but tuning is steep learning curve.

Good luck
