My friend Jason was kind enough yet again to help my practice my nib grinding skills on his Lamy Al-star fountain pen. It was a great experience, I hope you enjoy watching the ASMR of me and random outside sounds #asmr #nibgrinding #lamyalstar #fountainpen

It's amazing how much something you read in junior high can apply to you 25 years later. I hope this reminds you of what you can achieve today

I wanted to celebrate my TheCoffeeMonsterzCo and Esterbrook collab pen with a lovely grind by Gena of Custom Nib Studio. The ink is KWZ’s It smells like coffee (it really does!). I hope this helps you end your week positively 🤎☕️🖋️

Desi requested help to clean both of her Nahvalur (Narwhal) pens of old ink and put them back together. After some careful work you can see the pens are now clean and in working order. It was nice to work on modern pens!

A kind friend asked me to clean and replace the ink bladder in his old Esterbrook. After a thorough cleaning (a lot of dried ink) I replaced and talced the bladder, shellacked the sealing point, and put it back together! #fountainpen #fountainpenrepair #vintage

This was a repair request from a friend. He purchased a Welsharp fountain pen from a discount bin at the Chicago Pen Show. With a cleaning, ink sac/bladder replacement, and nib smoothing I restored the pen to a usable condition. It was inked with J. Herbin Citron and writes like an italic/stub nib.

Finished my journal from the past year. From creative journaling workshop to a kindness workshop, I’ve been grateful to have the past year to do something brand new. Every page a part of my love, joy, and care was placed. I will cherish it all. #journaling #kindness #junkjournal #atlasstationers
