Hi all. Could you help me learn how to make this blog better.

Near five years of maintaining this blog, I feel I should have had more knowledge of internet and blog designing etc.

I would like to have my blog to be one where viewers can post their comments so we can interact.
 Viewers can advise me on every aspect of betterment .How do I make sure this feature is available ?

And navigation should be better so any older post can be found fast- this feature is somewhat working.

Is it necessary to migrate to another domain now, free or paid ? I am really ignorant.

Kindly contact me at << sanyalsoumitra@yahoo.co.in >>
 or                              << Soumitra3241@gmail.com>>

What I could not do alone, might be done with your kind help. Please help out if you might.

Warm regards to all viewers.

Kit-less flat end pen in caramel swirl shade acrylic.

Made out this pen last night. This honey colour acrylic blank was bought from AliExpress, it is a soft and smooth material to work with.
The pen is regular sized, barrel end is tapered a bit more to allow secure cap posting. The cap is maintained parallel over its full-length, including the finial. Section is given a small concave for better grip. Cap maximum diameter 16.8 mm and barrel maximum diameter 14.6 mm....do you feel the cap should have been slimmer? However the cap is strong this way.
Jowo 6 fine nib unit and Schmidt K5 converter used. Shown a size comparison with a Lamy Safari.
Hope you like this design. Welcome comments and criticisms.

Kit-less pen with rounded end finials.

Made one pen today using leftover pieces of earlier used blanks and a five inch piece of black pmma acrylic rod.
The section is made with two sets of threads, so the section attaches both with the barrel as well as the cap. The dome shape can finial can be opened and a standard clip can be fitted, however a slip on type snake clip is used here.
Jowo 6 nib unit and Jinhao converter fitted.
The long section allows good grip , and the finger does not touch the aluminium seat ring ( it's sharp edges are chamfered and polished smooth however).
The pen short in length as shown compared with a Parker Sonnet.
Hope you all like the design. Welcome comments and criticisms.

Two kit-less pens in New design

These two pens took time to complete as there were breakage, though finally managed to piece together end of the day.

The maroon pen has a less common nib, it is an old NOS vintage indian nib , Platinum









brand. Jinhao converter. The clear acrylic ink window and the section have been new tryout attempt. This one came out a long pen , size comparison with a Twsbi 580 shown.

The colourful pen is made with a white acrylic rod inner body and aluminium coupler. The colourful part of the section and end finials are made from epoxy resin rods from my early casting. These epoxy resin material is very soft and does not sustain threads, hence the acrylic inner body. The epoxy also needs coating of CA glue same like wood for sealing and strength.  This pen is given a Jowo 6 nib unit and a Jinhao converter.

Both pens took a lot of time because of too many parts joining and also had breakage. Overall happy that the pens completed this way.
Hope you like the design. Welcome comments and criticisms.

Kit-less flat ended pen in light blue swirl acrylic.

Completed this flat ended pen today afternoon. This is a large full bodied pen, 14.5 mm barrel maximum diameter and 16.2 mm cap maximum diameter. Slightly longer than a Lamy Safari as shown in the last photo. The light blue swirl acrylic is prone to chipping at higher speeds if the tool tip is not freshly sharpened. The section is made large for holding comfort for long sessions of writing. Jowo6 nib unit and Jinhao converter.
Hope you like the design. Welcome comments and criticisms.
