The DWRDNET Stationery Feed 0213 With Matthew Martin
1 0
In this episode I am joined by pen maker and artist Matthew Martin who talks about how he got into making his machined pens. Matthew talks about how a side project of helping his dad with some knife making ended up becoming his full time job of making bespoke metal pens. Matthew talks about how he explored different anodization techniques, and how that moved into using anodized titanium as a form of artistic expression.

Everything I Bought at the 2026 DC Pen Show
160 33
Well I am back from my first ever visit to the DC Pen Show, and I had a great time. I went to help work in the Vanness Pen Lounge which is a room where someone can come take classes on fountain pen basics, ink swatching, notebook systems and more, or just have a quiet spot to catch a break or look at their new purchases. I taught 2 of the introduction to fountain pen classes, and then was available to help people or answer questions throughout the day. That was a great experience to be able to help someone get a pen working they were having troubles with, or walking someone through inking their first pen purchase. I brought a couple of my typewriters, and there were people who were able to give those a try as well, so it was an overall great experience that I hope to be able to do again in the future.
While I was mainly working the show, that did not mean that I did not take the chance to go and do some shopping before the lounge opened. In total, I ended up coming home with 12 bottles of ink, 4 new pens, a new pen case, a mildliner holder and 8 nib grinds, so there is plenty to talk about in this video. I go through and show all 4 pens, as well as talk briefly about the grinds that I had done, and then I do some basic swatching of all 12 inks which includes one that is a sneak preview that will be available for purchase soon from Vanness1938.com.

New Crena Papers from Soe and Soe | First Impressions
20 4
I had my first ever order arrive from Soe and Soe in Australia, and the main thing that I ordered was some new varieties of Crena papers that I wanted to try. I previously looked at the Crena Spark paper, and I added three more papers into my collection. We look at the Crena Cream Lightning Thick Retro, Crena Starbow R1, and the Crena Snowfall Sands and put them through my standard set of test pens, pencils and swatching to see how they compare.
I show some side by side with Tomoe River and Graphilo papers, as these are similar Japanese paper equivalents to some of these Chinese made Crena options.
I ordered these papers from https://soeandsoe.com.au/
Here is a link to my previous Crena Spark video

Unboxing the Onoto Magna Ceramic Prototype And Filling It With New Amarillo Stationery Ink
24 6
In this video, I am unboxing a 1 of prototype material version of the Onoto Magna Classic Ceramic fountain pen in Burnt Orange. I own another Onoto that I got years ago, so I figured getting another one in a one of material would be a perfect fit to the pen collection. This one has a dual tone steel nib, and I got it in Extra Fine. I decided to use one of the new Amarillo Stationery inks called Needs More Sun to fill it with, as it is a really great color match to the pen material.
