Hello I am making two Franken pens using 2 vintage nibs 1 Watermans Ideal #2 and 1 Sheaffer 33 or 3-25 nib and building rest of pen out of mahogany .
I need measurements of stubs, as I found a London wood turner who said he cannot make pen however he would be willing to help me make my own pens in his fully equipped workshop. I also need to purchase 2 pen kits for the rest of parts so measurements will come in handy for choosing the right kit .
Do you think I can combine a kit pen with my vintage nib stubs.
I am looking for a good kit to use. I want a posh, elegant kit , which look like Montblanc style.
If there is no kit to work wioth my nibs, which looks like Montblanc how do, you suggest I make a Montblanc style pens.
Where would I get the bits to make Montblanc style pens.
Furthermore, how would I combine the kits to my nib stubs.
I have 2 ink sac's which came with the nibs however if there is any easier way to fill the pen that I am making out of mahogany, I would like to know maybe a cartridge or a another method to draw the ink.
As I am worried that ink may stain the pens form the sack.
If I need sac guard/protector what do you recommend .
I am making 1 pen as birthday gift.
Any help appreciated
Yours
