And never regret ANYTHING

Superb pictures, everyone. Jeph, your work area may be messy but it is quite inspiring! How about a pic of all your tools?
Regards,

I could try that, but I am not even sure where all of my tools are. Or, more accurately, I am not even sure what tools I own. For that matter, I don't even know what pens I own. Even worse, I don't even know all of the pens that I own that I have repaired. I just tried to remember, and not counting the pens waiting for corks (and no, I have no idea how many beyond more than 10) I am not even sure what pens I am currently working on. In fact I just had to look to find out what pens I am currently carrying. Clearly I need an organizational standdown until I can get things back under control. I wanted to say that I will not work on any more pens until I can take a picture of a clean work area ready to receive pens but I know that it will never happen. Sometimes you just need to embrace the chaos.

I have a wonderful old desk that belonged to my grandfather that has been refinished and has a piece 1/4" smoked glass on the top to protect it. For several years it has been a "junk gatherer". I need to get rid of some of the junk on it so I can actually use it. (grandpa died in 1959 and used it in his plumbing business for years - yes the center drawer has ink stains - )

Here's my nerd station. Can you tell I have a rhodia problem?

Weird, I don't see a problem at all.

Maybe the problem is that he needs more Rhodia?
I did snap a shot of how I left my work area as I left for Christmas vacation. I took the picture to shame myself, but I can't do that unless I share. I did not leave anythign soaking but the blue striped Markant is filled with water, as is the barrel of the the red marbled no-name pen standing up in the tub.

Okay here's a couple more. I have since moved off the minis and started using field notes though.. I have way too many mini pads lying aroundbthe house and car. A local shop had them for $1 A piece.. I of course bought all they had.

Tony, I reject your picture as far too clean, far too peaceful to the point of being serene, and clearly too organized. I like the plant (and the pens) though.

VERY neat work area, Tony. Lovely colors! Is that a Lamy joy with a 2000? And is the stack Moleskine pocketbooks?

The same as this..
But those cakes are a lie mate. And thank you for the compliment dear friend, but alas, your guesses were close but no cigar. The pens: Pelikan MC110 Calligraphy and LAMY Studio grey. And the notebooks: Leuchtturm, RHODIA, Picadilly, Ciak, Moleskine (Starwars), Muji, Design.Y 288, and my prayer books. Like Jeph said... and especially when he was around... it's like this:
or this:
That pelikan is beautiful... what year?
Which one? MC110 late eighties. 100CN early forties.
