    Beautiful pen! I started this video and had to pause it almost immediately when my husband protested to the statement that Japan was The Place for glass pens, insisting that the history in glass pen making was longer in Italy. Then I unpaused the video and he was corrected almost immediately, haha! Thank you for showing us how these are made, it's very interesting. :)

    • @InkyRocks

      He is so right--I want to get one of the glass pens from Italy, but I want to wait till I get a chance to visit the glass makers there one day!

    I was surprised by how compact all Lucas' equipment was. I was expecting to see a big open flame with bellows to keep it hot, lol! I saw a glass blowing demonstration at Silver Dollar City when I was a kid. The technology has come a long way since the time of the settlers. Awesome video Alisa!

    Thank you for the tour and explanation of his shop and process. His skill is very impressive.
    I've owned two glass dip pens, from two different European countries. My first one is beautiful and writes very well, but I returned the other one because, rather than holding the ink, it let it all drop to the paper in a blob. My guess is Lucas' pens would be far more reliable than my second one, and I would guess that he tests them before shipping them out!
    I'd love to "win" this one, but 1) I already have a glass dip pen that works and will let someone else have this pleasure and 2) I have no Instagram account. Good luck to all entrants and, "Your Inkiness, the Duchess of Nibs" 😎, thank you very much !

    • @InkyRocks
      @InkyRocks  2 роки тому +1

      hahaha! Thank you so much Randy! I wish I could run the giveaways here on UA-cam, but amazingly, winners sometimes never contact me! And using IG makes it easier to hunt them down. I may do some here on UA-cam later. You are right, he tests each one as he smooths the nib. I've been very impressed with his work.

    These look lovely. I need to find a decent glass pen. The ones I have are crappy and either poor out pools of ink or scratch through the paper. 104USD is a little steep for a glass pen for me but I love to admire it from your video!!

      You might want to check out Moonman. They make "glass" pens but I'm pretty sure the nib is acrylic. They aren't the best, but they actually work.
