Hello there, folks.
I got pointed to this forum by AskCheese when he came into the shop yesterday and started talking about the pens he had been turning.
I've been a fountain pen nut for about three years now, ever since I got a little Lamy Safari in college. Working at Paradise Pens for the last nine months has put me in contact with a variety of very interesting people and materials and makes of pen and ink. Lately, I've been sharply into vintage pens, and I think I've reached the point where my acquisitional phase is ending. This weekend most of my ten pens are going up on the market block elsewhere and I'm getting down to my two or three user pens.
So now I need a new hobby. Making things is fun. This is me, nosing around the garden of lathe-y temptations.
Best,
James Bennett
