(Andrew Lensky) My own fully designed and handmade fountain pens

[Andrew_L]

Hi friends! Finally, I can boast of my own fully created fountain pen. Of course, I didn’t make the nib and used a standard nib unit with Germany nib, but the rest was built by me from start to end. So, welcome to viewing and discussion.

 

Andrew Lensky “Tribute” (working title) – ebonite medium sized fountain pen w|JoWo #6 nib unit (made in Ukraine) prototype

Outstanding job @Andrew_L  Good for you for seeing the project through to completion. It looks like a cool pen.  Do you plan to offer it for sale?

For now only the CC filler but with blind cap for converter knob.

This prototype is not for sale because it is a prototype, but I can create the same one to order. I still have material, which I think is enough for 2 pens. Not sure if I can write it here, but the price is currently $300US + shipping. The term of making is 5 days. 3 steel nibs are available - clean EF and B, and M with ornament, but any JoWo #6 nib unit can be installed if you have your own nib unit with solid gold or titanium nib.

Thanks. Exactly)). If can't buy a vintage Montblanc, then make own))

Congratulations. To design and make a fountain pen is a big achievement. I like your design and maybe an add-on clip will be a good complement.

Thanks. To create a clip is need to have additional equipment: either a milling machine or laser cutter. I don't have any. I was ready to buy other manufacturing clips, but it turned out that there are only clips produced in India on the market that I don't like and I don't want to buy them. So no clips yet. By the way, I don't use any clip on any my pens, because I hold all my pens in cases))

Congratulations, Andrew !!
Always love seeing your work !! 👏

[txomsy]

I find it quite attractive, simple, streamlined and elegant, evocative of old times. I quite like it.

[InesF]

Hi @Andrew_L! That pen looks elegant - congratulations! But more important than the visuals is that you made it for your hand and customised for your writing and drawing style. 

... and now, I'm looking forward to the first drawing you do with this pen ... 😇

[Andrew_L]

Thanks friends, but drawings a little later 🤝
