Beginner Fountain Pen?

[dgerwin11]

I have never made a fountain pen, but have an inquiry about one with a corn cob blank. What would be a good kit to start with? I would want a fairly good kit, but not high end.

My first one was the atrax. But there are so many good kits to choose from

None are that hard

Fountain pens are like turning anyother pen. None are that difficult to make but there are differences in the writing. More expensive pens seem to have better nibs and write smoother - which as about what abody would expect.

I have just done a couple of the Atrax pens and am impressed with the kits. Very reasonably priced with an upgraded nib.
