Inkograph and Esterbrook Conversion

The first one is a inkograph drafting pen that has some really nice coloring that I thought would make a really nice fountain pen.

This is the section that came with the pen

This is the section made up

End result

Very happy with how it all turned out

The Esterbrook was a felt tipped marker that I converted to take a Pilot refill.

I think it took some sort of ink cartridge

Built a new section to take the new nose cone.

Looking good

Custom Binde

Several years a go I was asked to make up some Pelikan 100 binde's.  Well after blowing through a crap load of material I said no I could not do it.

That is the background of today's project.

I was at the market a bit ago and found this "old black pen"

I bought it because it had a 14k nib and according to everyone in antique markets it is worth a small kings ransom.

Now being a typical male I had a flashback to my earlier failure on the 100's and I figured what the heck.

This is not for the faint of heart because it involved material being removed.

So with a full face mask and upper body armor on I let her rip and lo and behold I got a pen that I really like a lot.

I hope you all like as well
