As you will have perhaps noticed that I am quite new to bespoke pens. Today I found out that our older son is getting re-married. My thought was to make a "custom" fountain pen for signing the marriage register, and as a keepsake. The earliest that the marriage will take place is August. I have never made any kind of fountain pen let alone a custom one. Do I need my "Phrenology Bumps" read or with help here is this doable? I should point out that I don't yet have any of the specialist equipment needed. What is considered to be the "minimum" kit to make this practical? Which fountain pen nib should I consider as a good starting point? Cost may prove to make this a non-starter at this point, and I end up using a high end fountain pen kit, perhaps with an open-ended body as minimal customization. All help is of course much valued, and appreciated.
