Two more pens in brass hardware and ebonite



Made these two pens with handmade clip and trim. Kanwrite 35mm nib unit and Jinhao converter used. Minor flaws in the cap finials remain , to be dressed up by hand later. These are based on the same design as in the last post, but have minor variations.

One recent pen I have made.


This is one more of my handmade pens with own handmade brass clip. Kanwrite 35 mm nib unit and Schmidt K5 converter used. . I have ink tested the pen, balance and comfort are alright. The brass couplers and accents seem to enhance the otherwise subdued colour of the olive green with black rippled shade of the ebonite. Hope you like the design.

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.
