Hello from the US Gulfcoast

Hello to my future friends! I was a bit shocked by the FP frenzy on ebay and have been delighted to find such a larger cohesive community of people who seem to be as nuts as I am about fountain pens.... perhaps even more so, from what I have been reading in here! Ahhhh, I feel like I am home.

Hello

I am a custom knifemaker that one of your members contacted on Facebook. He saw my work and thought you all might enjoy looking at it. I have been doing this since 2003 and I work from stock removal. I cut my own blades and work my handle material from slabs. Hope you enjoy looking at my work.

A quick hello from the UK. Joined yesterday, activated this noon; then found I had initially misplaced username and password. Found it after 5 mins, so I am 'up and running.' I have Parkers, Sheaffers, and a couple of Watermans, but am now getting interested in the Dunhill fountain pen range. I hav...

Greetings from Southeast U.S.

I actually registered over two years ago and now realize I've never posted. I have no idea why. I also stopped using my fountain pens for a while and I have no idea why that happened, either. For many moons, I've gone hunting around for a ballpoint (ick!) or using the gel pen I reserved for writing checks w...

I've been lurking from time to time, spending a good deal more time at the other FP website, mostly because there seems little activity here. I decided it's partly my fault if there is no activity! I needed to contibute. From VA., I recently came upon two old Waterman Phileas pens I had bought years bac...

Hi everybody. I'm brand new here. I have a question about replacing J Bars on lever filling pens. I've recently been picking up some fine old pens on ebay, and I've learned the basics of replacing bladders on standard lever filling pens. But many of the J Bars I run into are weak or fail to spring back...

Surely I'm not alone in ocassionally getting swept away by random obsessions? This latest one was a fascination with fountain pens (hence, my presence here). I often use one that seemed pretty nice when I bought it about 25 years ago but the gold plating on the fixtures was wearing off and I was...

Hi all from "down under"

Frank mentioned the FPC so I thought I'd join up . I was active on the FPN for years then ( after a minor problem) I've been on the FPB. From a "pen" perspective my main areas (at present!!) are Conklins from the '20/'30s and Sheaffer TMs ( pre snork), I'm firmly in the "amateur" clas...

I have been using fountain pens on and off for more than 50 years (yes, I'm an old timer) and have just started again. Penmanship has always fascinated me and the most beautiful I have seen invariably seems to be done with the trusted fountain pen. There is so much to learn. I am currently using a Namiki...
