Greetings from CA, USA! I'm going through pen forum withdrawals and found this place.

Anyway, I'm a fountain pen maker and fan. I only really discovered fountain pens a couple of years ago, but have been hooked from the beginning. I make my own pens and thought that would be good enough, but no. I now find myself owning a few brand name pens, and coveting others:). Quite the addictive hobby I'd say! You know it's bad when cleaning and filling pen is more fun than writing with it!

Welcome welcome.

There's a pen-making subforum if you haven't already found it, we'd love to see what sort of things you've been making (oh and we love photos here). The one part I don't enjoy is the cleaning. Just when I think I have it entirely cleaned out, I still find just that little bit of ink that's been hiding and have to start all over again.

Want to wash mine? haha
We'll convert you to the writing side of it yet! Lots of writers here.

Hey, Lyle! Great to see another pen maker here. Looking forward to seeing the Pen Making subforum take off. It's great for makers to have a place to show their work and trade tips!

Cheers

Thanks everybody! Looking forward to learning and contributing:)

Thanks, Ken, for suggesting the pen making subforum. That was the first thread I read after my intro post.
