Fountain pen

Builder: Tim Leuschke
Creation time: 20 hours incl. construction
Total cost: 200 €
Level of difficulty: Advanced
Wooden fountain pen with open cap. The nib is silver and the barrel is made of dark wood.

The project

After extensive construction, this fountain pen was manufactured in-house with parts made of titanium and bog oak.

Step 1

Create the design

The fountain pen was designed in CAD based on an initial sketch. This meant that the components to be manufactured could be perfectly matched to the nib and the ink feed system. Optical details could also be tested before production.

Step 2

Manufacture individual parts

The individual titanium components of the fountain pen were then produced on the lathe. The wooden elements made of bog oak were moulded into the right shape using a lathe.

A lathe holds a metal part. The part is shiny and cylindrical with a thread at one end. The lathe is dirty.
Step 3

Assembling the fountain pen

Finally, the individual parts made of wood and titanium were assembled into a finished fountain pen.
