Hi I have not used a fountain pen for some 40 years and am interested in trying again. I recently purchased a Chinese $6 el cheapo on Ebay to get me started, but have not received it yet. What are the shortcomings with these cheapies compared to the more expensive pens? Are they everyday usuable without messy ink hassles? In anticipation, thanking you kindly, for any guidance.

I've been making pens for about nine years and recently written a free online guide which will answer your questions. You can find it at my handmade pen guide on squidoo (click here) Hope it helps!
Thanks the penman, the aesthetic qualities of your handmade pens wonderful! I cannot coment on how they work, but I am sure the inner workings match the looks. Best regards and thanks for the info.
