Just wanted to say hello from Texas. Just found this great site. Have been turning for several years now and always looking for new ideas and information. Was asked today by a friend if I could turn a dip pen for him. This is something I have never done and have never seen a kit for a dip pen. If anyone knows who carries these kits please let me know.:)

Welcome to the site, watch the bank account deplete in a hurry.
You can order the nibs at the link below:

I have made many of these, you drill a hole an inch or so deep the size of the holder, insert the holder, these nibs fit right in. Have any questons, PM me.
Good luck.

Welcome John, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
