I recently had the pleasure of grinding a stub on a Bexley Submariner for a customer and he liked it so much he decided to send me 7 more of his pens to have worked on. Six of them needed to be ground into stubs, CI’s and italics, and the other just needed some adjustment to fix its’ inconsistent and dry flow. The pens pictured above starting with the green Sheaffer Balance II and moving clockwise are: Autumn Sheaffer Balance II, Bexley 56 Tibaldi, maroon Pelikan M250, black Pelikan M200, blue Pelikan M805, and a black Bexley Simplicity. The following photo shows the nibs before they were ground. Finally, there’s a photo of a writing sample. I have to say they all turned out great and it was a pleasure working on them. If you need a grind on one of your favorite pens let me know. I’d be more than happy to do it. My turn around time is 2-4 days.
Be-a-utiful work, Dan! I especially love the italic grind you put on the Autumn Shaeffer Balance II. I’ll have to find a pen to send you so that I, too, can enjoy your art!!
Hello all. I’m the lucky owner of the seven pens Dan worked on (6 for nib crafting). I have to tell you, he does beautiful work. All six turned out wonderfully, and are a true pleasure to use. You can’t go wrong with Dan’s work!
