Getting ready for school.

Okay – so school starts back on the twentieth, which means I’m going to be very busy with school and not as busy with making pens.  I’ll still be able to get a few knocked out every weekend unless something comes up or I’m just wiped out from the week though.

Remember the artwork and pens I sold over the summer to raise money for pens for students?  Well, I bought 80 pens.  Now that school’s about to start I’m trying to get ready, and part of getting ready means taking 80 Kaigelu 316s and test writing, tuning, and cleaning every one.  I got these to give away to students this year, not so much as a reward, but to expose them to fountain pens.  Yes, these are only $5 a piece, but they’re still damn good pens for $5.  To get the pens writing nicely most only needed a little tine spread.

Here’s the mess.  🙂
