project

and so did a project or 3 but finally managed some ME time in the shed

I've been having sleepless nights dreaming of making this pen waiting for the bits to arrive. Ebony and Rhodium plated Mistral fountain pen. My favourite project to date and this more than replaces the Mont Blanc I recently sold to pay for pen turning bits ;-) (not sure why the picture has...

Last week I received an email from a Lincoln University Student who is doing a degree in "Graphic Design" Ash, asked if he could interview me with regards to my pen making. His project required that he look into the deeds of "A Maker" and having looked via goggle at various makers he found my...
