  • This is my entry into Bill Livolsi's No Lathe Pen Challenge (link below). Since so many people made so many great pens I decided to make the most simple pen I could think of, and focus on making my own ink. Both of these were a first for me and a couple items off the maker bucket list. Had a lot of fun, and I can't believe how well it worked!

      its all based on buying material from retail mainstream

      You need to be able to make everything from raw materials with no retail chain/manufactoring mainstream

      @@charliebrownau I didn’t. The recipe it’s pretty straightforward thought Gum Arabic and carbon black (soot) I use shellac since I didn’t have Gum Arabic at the time but it will dry much quicker which isn’t always a good thing.

You did a far more legit job on the quill though for what it's worth. Nice work! I was mostly interested in the ink so I kinda just threw the quill in to make it qualify lol

      Shellac.i think my candle Ash might not be fine enough.

    • @TabLeft
      @TabLeft  7 років тому +1

      Toby Pitton maybe the soot was traditionally gathered from oil lamps I believe hence the name "lamp black". from what I understand in prison they will burn greasy hair products to gather the soot for tattoo inks etc. I haven't tried using a candle but it's possible you're getting a "waxy" soot rather than an "oily" one. Shellac isn't exactly the ideal carrier either, if you can get you hands on it from a local art supply or craft store get some "Gum Arabic" it's the real stuff used in traditional ink. I just use shellac because I had it on hand.
