On my desk today, top to bottom:

 

Indian-made ebonite eyedropper, fine nib, large size

Indian-made ebonite eyedropper, re-ground to a fine stub/italic nib, medium size

Pelikan M200, fine nib

Waterman Taperite, X-Fine accountant's nib

Sheaffer Touchdown TM, 14k fine nib

Parker 45, 14k medium nib

Sheaffer Flat top Junior, fine nib

 

 

 

I also mean to say, that the pens are nice too! I wrote my posts out of order. I was so impressed with the stand.

All sitting in the new desktop holder I made.

 

Technical details, for those who care: 4/4 N. American Ash; 4.25 X 4.25 X 8.75, angled at 30 degrees, bored with a 0.75 Forstner bit, bores offset by 0.125 inches with the drop to the left; finished to 220 grit, clear penetrating finish (3 parts raw tung oil, 1 part raw linseed oil, 1 part Japan drier, 11 parts spirits of turpentine). Butt-jointed with Titebond III. Minimal cursing involved, for a change no blood sacrifice was made. Damn close, though. ;) Bore openings were enlarged and smoothed with several Nicholson files.

I love the stand. Minimal Cursing and NO blood sacrifices, I am impressed.

Coop, how do you like the 580AL as compared to the regular 580? Should I acquire a 580AL? ... I do love the TWSBI 580 and own 1 or 2.

Cybaea,

Tringle, when you note that money was no object when using the parent's CC ...

Well, I get the impression you may have heard this line of reasoning in the past?

And that is written to look like a snail, but it didn't work out.

 

Tinysnail, we are very glad to have your doodles here.

Tringle, in response to another "branch" .... I can safely tell you I have never been "hit on" on FPN ... (but don't ask me about Corvettes).
