Hi everyone. My name is Josh and I live in the Philadelphia suburbs. I'm a woodworking enthusiast and like to turn things (mostly chess pieces) on my lathe. I'm getting into fountain pens and want to start making them for myself and as gifts. looking forward to learning more from all of you

Greetings from Nebraska and welcome to the IAP community. It's been quite some time since I have been in your part of the country. Before retiring I was the Director of Engineering for Vishay Dale Electronics. Our corporate HQ is on Highway 30 in Malvern, PA, so I used to make several trips there every year. Our owner and founder, Dr. Felix Zandman used to like to take us to eat at the General Warren Inne, I love all of the history in the area. - Regards, Dave
