Tom Voboril: Spending Money on Pens NOT Cases
http://www.tomvoboril.com/2012/09/spending-money-on-pens-not-cases.html
Spending Money on Pens NOT Cases. I am a school teacher. I have always thought that carries a lot of meaning. 1st of all. I write a lot. 2nd. I can't carry just one or two pens. 3rd. I don't have much money. I have a big case at home that I keep everything in. but it holds something like 30 pens. too big to take everywhere with me. The moment of clarity, was the it would fit a cigar case I had bought a few years ago from a pen store in Arkansas (Vanness Pens). From left to right. Small vile of extra ...

Category Archives: jams, preserves, chutneys. Spiced pear and wine jam. August 31, 2014. I must admit – I’m not entirely ready for the hallowed Keatsian season. As I write, we’re just about clinging onto August, and as a resolute lover of the sun, I still hold out hopes of an Indian summer. 900g peeled and cored slightly underripe pears. 6 tbsps dessert wine (avoid those with strident citrussy notes). 025 tsp ground cinnamon or cardamom. 4 tbsps fresh lemon juice. Dice the pears (Patten suggests 1.5c...

Liberty's Elysium Chromatography Part 1. Caveat emptor . well. I guess you aren't buying anything. but still. when I have access again to my thin-layer-chromatography supplies I want to try this again in a more controlled environment. I have some issues with this and needed more time, and chemicals to really make good comparisons and analysis. but that will take time. and I want to post now. I know that Noodler's LE is special. I like it. why do I like it. why does it do what it does. To preform simple p...

I have heard a lot of praise for Pilot's Iroshizuku inks, and I loved the color of kon-peki. it is a different blue from any of my others. The color is great and the ink is smooth. It is wonderfully behaved on high quality paper. My only problem is with bleed through and feathering on cheap paper. Feathering in a Medium/Fine nib. Click the picture for a large version.

Seeds are Ready to be Sown. Soooo My Dad has lots of gardens. He has several beds at his house, He has a few annex beds at my oldest sisters house, I think he even has a few plants at My second-oldest sister's Purgatory Ranch. Now, my second side yard has been tilled, spaded, then tilled again. and tilled a third and fourth time for good measure. When we bought the house, the previous owners had planted a few tomatoes and had two overgrown Gooseberry bushes. We finished around noon, after working a good ...

Jinhao 159 Desk Pen. I have been in the market for a desk pen. I have looked at several of the ones available. and have come up short. I find the ultra skinny pen. painful. I have looked at the MontBlanc 149 desk pens, but I am a school teacher, and the price is prohibitive. I removed the cap finial and the clip The finial is brass. I don't think this would have worked well if it was not metal. I carefully drilled a small hole and inserted a screw. I dry fitted everything to make sure it was going to work.

Steaks and .22s. There was some checking in the wood, plenty of rust, and a slight warp in the stock. The easiest thing would have been to strip everything down, straighten the stock, and re-finish. BUT, There is something to be said for preserving the years of use and the battle scars. After talking to the owner I got to work. Barrel was cleaned, treated, and re-blued. Everything re-attached, and scope was sighted in. The other part of my secret, is quality meat. This is a Creekstone Farms. A quality gr...

Tom Voboril: Review of the MontBlanc 149 by a former anti-montblancite
http://www.tomvoboril.com/2012/08/review-of-montblanc-149-by-former-anti.html
Review of the MontBlanc 149 by a former anti-montblancite. So, I will be the first to admit that I have said nasty things about MontBlanc, and those who buy their pens. If you look, you can find all over Fountain Pen Network. my disapproval of the company, the pens, and most especially. the cost. I now use a lot of pens for work. I am a history teacher. I LIKE taking notes. which is why we give so many notes. I also gained brass threads on the the filler mechanism. While loosing the split ebonite feed.
