    Fun Order

    This is officially the first (and last) DiamondCast clip! The DiamondCast logo appears in nickel silver – the pen features a “Silver Run” blank from McKenzie Penworks and trimmed in black – this one has a 1.1 mm italic nib per request by the new owner. (And I’ll give you three guesses as to...

    Custom Fountain

    This was a little out of the norm for me – the clip was a different style that I had been playing with and it became the basis for a series of others. Shown here with a DiamondCast “Silver Series” blank (@McKenziePenworks) with a black resin section and trim, nickel clip and accent rings, and...

    Have you ever had a bright idea that turned into a disaster? Well, I thought it might be a nice idea to do a bit of mosaic on a pen just to try something different. So I turned a modified slimline and set about tiling it with some small tiles, 3mm square. It was very tedious and it didn't come...

    Finished a Steampunk pen ages ago and im still not happy with it (one last try)

    I ordered a Steampunk pen kit from Axminster and it arrived in good time and looked lovely. I took the pre scuffed tube and a lovely piece of Wenge and glued it in nicely with gorilla glue. Got into the shop today and mounted it on to the mandrel and turned it down to the bushings sanded and...

    A fountain pen with a “fine” nib

    Hey folks I am hoping to tap into the hive-mind here. I have been asked if I can make a fountain pen with “a finer nib” – her words. I have made a few fountain pens (a classic elite and two TM Omegas) she liked the feel of the Omega but wanted a finer nib. So can I just get a separate nib and...

    Replacement nib assembly for Omega's

    Afternoon, I'm sitting on the horns of a dilemma. (ouch). I've a commission for a couple of blind end Omega fountain pens, and the customer has requested one to be a fine nib. Now I know Phil sells a Bock assembly that would suit very well, but even the least expensive option will add £12 to...

    I wonder

    The hotel for my holidays left everyone this pen as a gift. The nib end is stylus but with a slight twist and a click turns into a normal pen with the nib coming though the stylus. Just have to remember its out before using the stylus. The pen is a comfort pen and lives up to its name. The clip...

    How much nib on a ball point should be showing?

    I am sure this has be been asked before so apologies to all. I have made a few Slimline pens and most recently been enjoying making the Tempest pens. I have noticed there is a difference of the amount of nib showing once finished, and assume this is because of the amount of the brass tube is...
