Working on the design of the hand-made boxes ... had a go this time at specific function. This box here is for my two Ebonite Ranga N.8 fountain pens. The gold & black pen, which is an (ED) Eyedropper, while the white metal & black one is a 3-in-1 Schmidt/Jowo threaded nib/feed cassette construction. So I can swap the nice 2-tone Rhodium/Ruthenium nibs by just screwing the existing one out and putting the other in. I have 3 nibs at the moment that will work with this pen; F-M-B choices. If you remove the cartridge or ink converter pump, you can also use this pen as an Eyedropper fill which rounds out the 3-in-1 definition. Additionally, this pen has it's own separate ED section/feed & nib which can make it into a standalone Eyedropper pen. Add to that a small ink bottle & an actual eyedropper to refill with. Each having it's own niche slot and padding &tc to eliminate rattling, bouncing, the box makes a good travel kit, or a desk organiser at home.
You can watch a very short video that shows the box from all angles, exploring the details: https://vimeo.com/denniswilliamgaylor/shakespearebox I do like the way this one came out. "Shakespeare" box, is based on the text pages I've been using. Many are related to records of the Stratford-upon-Avon Corporation, and the fact that the surname Shakespeare isn't uncommon in the text.pen & ink subjects
