Now that making pen by PRO !

Nice video on how to make a fountain pen, I will make some in the feature. And will this just preference, I can't understand while some people prefer plastic over wood.

There are so many beautiful woods available and when carefully done takes so little wood or waste. I see a hand made pen as something that will last for years and so using a little wood is not wasteful. Also it is renewable if we would just make it so.

I even save the sawdust from my exotic woods for future things like inlay.

Do you really have to waste a BIG block of plastic to get that barrel?....sure a bigger block can handle the initial drilling better, but is it not more profitable to get a better quality vibration free dill & bit and work on a smaller block, thus wasting less plastic ?

[bobmedic3214]

@prodigytechus Yes because plastic is so rare and expensive that makes perfect sense. You are an idiot.

@bobmedic3214

No wonder your sort of attitude has paved way for the recession.

Wish I could afford a lathe that size or just one that I could change my speed with the touch of a button.
