[writingrav]

I have turned what was formerly a pipe cabinet into an ink cabinet. Just sharing it.655656

... and Diamine. Very nice cabinet!

I like it. I'd ink my pens out of that cabinet.

That sounded waay dirtier than it is.

Great Cabint! I need to do something better than a shelf in a bookcase.

You are all set for the ballpoint zombie pen apocalypse.

Wow that's more ink than I usually see in a pen store! Love the display, I need to get me one of those.

Great idea and a nice looking cabinet.

[Tracy Lee]

Really great idea, thanks for sharing it with us! :)

Very nice - How many inks would it hold? How many ink bottles deep (front to back) can you fit.

I am currently looking for ideas to display my rather large collection of inks efficiently.

There are presently 31 bottles and I would guess it could hold another 15-20.
I can get at least two deep and some will stack.

That's great. I think I like that even better than the fellow who is using a machinist's tool chest to store his ink and pens in.

Beautiful idea! Nice variety as others said. Some day I'll have to stop being so paranoid and buy some Noodler's ink.

If you go with one of the regular inks, you're probably OK. Something like Apache Sunset would be good -- it's made to shade dramatically, so it's not oversaturated, and thus not as heavy on the lubricant. Plus it's incredibly beautiful. I don't think I ever want to try one of the eel series, the other inks already feel like I'm writing with paint. Slick and smooth, but slightly unsettling...

Yeah. See, I find that even my Diamine inks stain celluloid and clog up pens if left for a while, so I can only imagine with Noodler's. I just don't have interest in buying some crazy ink that might clog or ruin my pen, or stain everything around it... If Asa Blue is staining my Grey Vac already, then I don't want to risk it with a more saturated ink.
I've heard alot of good things about Apache sunset. Maybe I'll budge and get that at the LI pen show!

I've even had Waterman Havana stain converters, it was always temporary though, it just didn't budge until I changed colour ink, oddly. Water didn't seem to shift it. I would be a little bit wary of putting Noodler's into vintage, that is true, although it's probably not fair to project Bay State Blue's "enfant terrible" reputation onto the rest of the range.
