WELCOME!

Welcome to my Custom Fountain Pen website/blog. I decided to put this website together for fellow penmakers, friends, and anyone interested in commissioning a custom pen - to give me a place to show some of the pens that I have made, discuss the finer aspects of the pen making hobby, or simply to talk about pens in general.

Have a look at my posts to see some of the work I am doing lately, or see my pricing guide in the link below to the right, or check the link to my current inventory of already-made pens (usually small, as most of my work is by commissions/orders).

Or, if you are interested, you can see some of the work I have done previously in my Custom Pen Gallery on Photobucket!

If you have a Twitter account, I am @drgoretex

If any of my posts generate particular interest, I will pin them as links on the right (eg 'Basic Nib Adjusting 101').

See the bottom of this page for some REVIEWS!

Please note: These pens have turned out to be unexpectedly popular (leaving me immensely pleased and rather humbled), and I have quite a number of orders pending. As of the end of March 2013, the wait time is around 10 months for a pen. I wish I could promise faster service, but sadly, my regular job is too demanding :-)
Thanks for your patience!

The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers...

...is that these Tiger-Stripey pens are so popular!



This Tigger was ordered as one of my 'Classic' style fountain pens, but using this lovely acrylic.



This one is fitted with a two-tone steel JoWo nib, and as usual, is a cartridge/converter filler, complete with the converter.




It is finally starting to warm up a bit now (at least, not so much of a deep-freeze), so working in the shop is becoming more pleasant.  Not hard to find excuses to be out there...

Thanks for looking.

  1. Re your price increases: Very modest. Your pens are still a steal! I'm glad business is booming, but it must be frustrating to have a "waiting room" full of pen orders at all times?

    1. Thanks, Terry.

      Actually the frustrating part is having all these great projects to work on, and wanting to work on all of them at once! Not enough time in a day :-)
