    Default Hi from Australia

    Just joined after renewing my interest in writing and fountain pens. Awaiting my new first fountain pen (Lamy Al Star and a couple of cheap Jahao) Hope to upgrade after i get the feel again. Always loved seeing beautiful handwriting in ink. Used to know a Judge who used a turquoise coloured ink for his signature. Looked great. I have been researching the website and Youtube on how to clean and fine tune your pens and look forward to some help from all those experienced members.

    Thanks all for your kind welcome. I see that this is a very international forum. And I see a member from my home city of Sydney. I was born at Paddington Children's Hospital and lived in the southern suburbs till I was about 30 years old. Great place. Still waiting for my pens, ink, paper, turning tools etc.

    Lamys were not my very first pen (I think my first was a Sheaffer or a Wearever school pen), but they were my first pens BACK into fountain pens a couple of years ago. I really like them. Welcome to the group.

    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
