Hi Pen Fans!

I wanted to put out a blog entry for a couple of reasons.

My shop is almost completed.  See here.

Some pen orders in December have been delayed, and those who are effected by this have been made aware.  This shop project has been the whole reason for the delays, and I’d like to thank my clients who have waited on their pens.

My contractor is nice enough to let me work along with him, so every hour that I spend doing my own wiring, insulation, drywall, etc saves me a very significant amount of money.

So my days have been finishing up the shop, and my nights have been keeping up on pen orders, and weekends have been the same.

Now that Christmas is here, I’m going to give myself a break from both the shop and pens until Monday…

My third Nakaya Piccolo will be residing in Japan for several weeks longer. I decided to wait until the new Super Extra Fine nib design is ready. It is a prettier nib, IMO.

Good things come to those who wait. :D

I was planning to have my pen sale ready by now, but life has gotten in the way. I suddenly have two weddings to photograph out of town (one this weekend and the other next weekend), so I will have to plan my formal FPN or eBay sale for later in November.

In the meantime, here is a tentative list of the pens I am considering for sale – I still may add more...

Today’s quickie lesson concerns the current-production Pilot Vanishing Point, as illustrated here in the vibrant Raden finish:

There has arisen on the Fountain Pen Network, where I hang out from time to time, a thread about ripping the clip off a Vanishing Point. This subject comes up periodically because not everyone is happy with the clip’s location; for some of us, the clip ends up right under a finger and renders writing with the pen a more or less uncomfortable experience. This time I had a VP handy whose clip I could remove to illustrate the process.

In case you’re concerned about this point, I’ll say at the outset that removing the clip does not expose the pen to dryout. The retracted nib hides behind that little spring-loaded door, and it’s all contained within an inner structure that isn’t violated by the operation described here…
