Anybody make pen stands?

[Dan Masshardt]

Does anybody regularly make and or sell pen stands? Not to display your pens at a show but something for a single pen on a desk. It seems like some people buy nicer rollerball or fountain pens to leave / display at their desk and it would be nice to offer something.

Charlie (NewLondon88) did make some single acrylic stands. I've sold 2-3 of them to people for just what you are talking about. PSI also has a nice one that holds the pen and cap seperately.

Funny you ask Dan, I've got 2 getting the lacquer on now. They are pretty crude, but a request from a customer. I made her 2 fewthered Aero's from a walnut log off her family's estate. She specifically asked for a stand made from the rough cut log with just lacquer, no brass or other hardware......not even sanded. We'll see how it turns out, probably complete tomorrow.

I have made stands, CSUSA has the hardware kits. I found a few ideas on YouTube a few months ago....probably still there.

I wish I could remember who has these, but I remember there is a wooden pen case that is hinged so the top of the case swings around and becomes the base, and the pen case becomes a display. It holds a single pen. I am sure if you look for pen cases from the usual places you will see it. It is made from two-tone wood, if I remember correctly. I hope this helps, or someone else can tell us where these are sold.

Didn't like the plastic one, so made these from scraps.
Very cheap, quick & very easy.

Another option is to make pen stands from leftover resin. Here is an example where I made a stand to match the pen blank.
Sorry for the bad photo!

These are really nice. I like the design a lot.

Dan, I found the pen boxes/stand that I was trying to explain in my last post. Here they are:

I have made three of these and sold them.

It is very easy to turn a pen stand like this one that holds a pen and business cards. Lee valley makes a "plugger" bit that drills a hole that just matches the taper on a pen.
