Hello all, I am a new member to IAP and this is my first post. I have been turning kit pens since January and I have made many different types of pens. I have recently begun to cast my own blanks for additional customization.
My wife looked through Pen World magazine and has tasked me with making a completely custom pen without a kit. I currently have all the tools needed to make just about any kit pen and cast blanks, wood lathe, drill press, ect.
My question is what tools will I need to begin making a pen from scratch? Where can I find the best deals on those tools? I am limited on money and space as well. I see from other posts the closed end clipless fountain pen seems to be a good starting point. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Branden
