Masters of the Fountain Pen：Harumi Tanaka

I hope this hasn't been posted already (and that links to YouTube vids are acceptable). Amazing video showing fountain pen being created. I like his "lathe" as it combines both manual, foot control and electric motor.

I've seen him working, but not the lathe workings. That makes things much clearer for me.

Thanks, Rick!

That was incredible! Thanks for the share! Watching true craftsmen create a beautiful pen out of some celluoid rods is mesmerizing!

Unbelievable - craftmanship like that is rare.

Love the lathe.
The combination of the foot control.

Ok who is going to be the first to make one of their own?

There are a bunch of the Master of Fountain Pen vids. It is amazing to watch those craftsman turn and make fountain pens. Seems like there is a lot of muscle memory used to build those pens. I am constantly checking diameters with calipers and depth with dial gages. I hope he doesn't get any ebonite in his coffee.
