Do you have the thickness of the notebook? I was thinking of trying one of these but I wanna make sure it fits into my Hobonichi cover

Luke is awesome! So glad you got this done!

I appreciate the seasonal flip-through format! Rainbow gradients are my favorite, hope this will be part of CPC workshop.🌃🖋🖌

What an incredible project! Love it!

Thanks for watching! I would love to know how you change your routine with a dated planner when things get busy! Also - what are your thoughts of a seasonal planner flip-through format? Would absolutely appreciate your feedback! 💕

Great video and such a great idea. I suspect Luke’s waitlist is going to be a long one going forward.

Love this so much! It turned out so beautifully! What a great team and incredible artists.

Oh it is so beautiful. I make pen trays, I’m not a pen turner although I think it is amazing how these makers are so talented and unique. I make keepsake jewelry and resin trays, ring holders, etc. and that’s hard enough. I think you guys did an amazing job! Kudos. Chefs kiss 😘

This is so incredible! What a gorgeous keepsake, and wonderful team effort.

wow! that pen is gorgeous - what a beautiful way to remember your special day! so smart to do the dip and regular pen with 2 caps

What an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing!

What an awesome project! The pens came out beautiful!

I absolutely love this! I’d love to have something like that done myself 😍

A stunning pen! What a wonderful keepsake for a special day.

Thank you for sharing your story. Your own turned out lovely.

What a wonderful pen! So meaningful and lovely.

I’m always blown away by Papa J’s artistry! What a stunning pen! I’m so glad it all worked out.

Thank you for choosing me for your special project 🙌🙌

Thank you so so much for watching! 💕 What do you think of the pen?! What should I ink it come with 👀 (Diamine Aurora Borealis comes to mind…)? Do you have any questions about commissioning a custom pen? Let me know!

Thank you so much for making this video. This is so helpful and informative❤❤

Cool

Lovely collection, i've enjoyed your presentation!

Thank you for sharing! Fascinating pen collection. Still thinking if I should order my own Back to Land Estie 😍

Love the "Pen for Men" takeover! A vintage pen is on the Co Pen show wishlist.

I always pick my pens and inks first and then prep my planners for the upcoming week… and yeah, I have a weekly rotation, not a monthly one, because I want to use all my pens throughout the year and I have too many. There, I said it. 😂 But I also get tired of things pretty quickly… 🤷‍♀️

You mentioned an ink directory I keep and inventory spreadsheet is this similar

I got my stickers today, Julia, thank you so much they look awesome

I need to get me a Pen Dealer. How do I go about that!?😂 Severance is on my list. I don't know why I've held back.

Hii!! It's a really inspiring and lovely video😍 will you do a travel journal flip through?? It will be nice to see all the spreads together ❤️

Oh, I've looked at that Penlux pen so many times over the last few months. I love a tortoiseshell pattern, and love the bit of purple in there.

Will the nib stickers be available in your Etsy shop?

such a nice collection of colours and pens!! thanks for sharing! 💛

So many pretty inks. I am really liking the City museum gray. Great colors and pens. I have never tried an elastic nib. Very interesting.

This was exactly the video I needed for a visual introduction into more custom nib grinds! I am a total beginner, but ar Stationery Fest, I got to try out some of Gina's nibs and I was like 🤯. Then of course I had to research all the types of grinds. I would like to get one done sometime but I don't really have any nice pens . I have some Kaweco sports, Kaweco student, and TWSBI Eco. Not sure if it's even worth it to send one if these pens out for a custom if they're not "fancy." I am very interested in a mini stub, architect and perspective! I never heard of Imperial but that is interesting! I typically write in block all caps in my planners on Tomoe River Paper and prefer to write small. Any thoughts you share would be greatly appreciated! Also, I'm considering getting an Esterbrook Back to the Land or a Sailor Pro Gear Slim for my next "big" pen ❤

Everywhere is good, but it's most beautiful at home🥰

I have a techo nib and it’s really fun! You should try that one

Great video, well done. I’m newer to this and planning to get a custom grind. I want needle point or ultra extra fine. But a couple of these seem cool too. Thank you. 😊

This was really fun to watch Julia! Cool to see which Grinds you've gotten and by which Nibmeister!

This was so informative thank you!! I haven’t made it to a pen show, but I do currently have a Benu mailed out to Gena. In terms of “stock custom” I am a big fan of Franklin Christoph’s SIG nib option on their pens. 😍

Nice well paced and presented. Informative without a lot of extraneous filler. Thank you.

I am a long time fountain pen lover and watch all the usual podcasts but never yours Julia but I now have subscribed and look forward to watching in future. A few years ago I started getting custom grinds. Pelikan tortoise 800 - cursive italic by John Mottishaw Mont Blanc 149 - cursive italic by Mark Bacas Pilot 823 - Journaler by Gena Salorino Pelikan Green 800 - cursive italic by Mark Bacas Pelikan Stressemann 800 - sharp italic by Gena Solorino I have an Edison Collier with their architect nib. I was surprised you did not mention the scribe by Joshua Lax on Esterbrook. A great nib. Finally, have you tried the new flex nib on Magna Carta Great video, keep up the good work. I’ll be watching!✒️🖋️ Brad

What a great video idea! I have every one of these grinds except the Waverly. I just adore custom grinds!

I just got my first nib work done by Gena / Custom Nib Studio at Stationery Fest. Now I'm sold on the experience. It totally refreshed my engagement with those pens. Looking forward to having more nib work done, and to that end, this video was so helpful and informative!

So cool that you are doing your own. How exciting. I have a cursive italic, cursive smooth italic, and an architect.

New to your chanel (just found you on insta) and this is such a wonderful video. Im so impressed with your reverse architect! I will def be getting one at my next pen show. I have a bunch of the esterbrook grinds, and love the journaler. Also love a trad architect grind and that lovely franklin christoph smooth italic grind

After having bought quite a few affordable fountain pens, I’ve decided I really only need two because I’m not really a fountain, pen lover. I’d much prefer my gel pens and that doesn’t stop me from watching fountain, pen, videos, or listening to fountain pen, podcasts all the time because I love stationery. My two favorite fountain pens though are an extra fine pilot Kakuno and a stub nibs pilot metropolitan. But there’s no way I’m getting rid of my brass travelers factory fountain pen.

This is the video I've been waiting for someone to make!

Julia! This was so interesting. I am a new fountain collector and haven't ventured over to custom grind territory just yet. I've been stalking the Esterbrook website waiting to see if the journaler nib would be back in stock. I have tested that one out at Yoseka Stationery and love it. I am also learning that I love stub nibs (currently using and loving an Estie 1.1 stub) so the mini stub is on my list and the cursive italics thanks to you. Again, very informative. Thanks!

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy a look at the custom grinds I have so far. Let me know if you have any questions about anything (grinds, the process, etc.) and/or what grinds you love most! 💕
