Can we get a picture of that chiffarobe filled with your goodies?

Sure! It is far from full, but the 4th drawer was a recent necessary expansion... At least from an organizational standpoint... :-D

I use the FC 20 pen case and it works well for my (small ~8) collection.

[rhodialover]

In use pens: two Franklin-Christoph Penvelope six or one Penvelope 13

out of use : two x 40 pen leather zip cases and two x 20 pen leather zip cases all from Franklin-Christoph

 

Inks in boxes

 

Spare nibs in boxes

Any chance of an independent picture of the 40 pen case? I want one.

I think the new version of the FC 40 pen case now have two loops per pen to hold them straighter.

Thanks! Now I shall add it to that never ending list of things I want. My wallet has gotten much thinner in the past months.

Just picked up these 2 cigar boxes from Bamapen, who sells them here on the FPN. I have to say I am one very happy customer.

It 's great there are people like John who can access cigar boxes and is willing to do these types of conversions.

Anyhow,

one is more suited to ink storage but I will probably convert this to a deep storage with 2 maybe 3 pen trays.

Possibly yielding a total of 24 pen spaces.

I saw that one of my pupils had this pencil case and thought that it'd be good for keeping my modest collection (Cross Apogee, Pilot 78g, Parker 51 vac, TWSBI Diamond 580) safe on the move and at home.

It's stationary totally aimed at kids, but I really liked the look of this. The front and back are hard, so it's pretty much crush-proof,

I use water bottle ice cube trays from Ikea.

I decoupaged one of those DIY wooden boxes from A.C. Moore with Gustave Dore images from the Divine Comedy. It has one tray for pens, and underneath the tray there are assorted writing-related goodies (sealing wax, etc.):

I also converted this wooden box (which used to have smoked salmon inside it) to a two-level pen box:

Did you purchase, or make, the box liners which actually hold the pens in place? If purchased, where? If made, how please? Thank you!

I bought them from GoPens.com. You can cut them down to the size you need.
