A few weeks ago Lisa and I made some heftier handmade paper, and experimented with pressing previously carved lino blocks into the still-wet pulp.Today I took one of those sheets and used it for the cover of a notebook.

Image: The electric foot stove that we build in this manual. Photo by Marie Verdeil. We built an electric cube heater, powered by a 100-watt solar PV panel. During the day, the solar panel slowly heats the cube, which radiates heat to its surroundings. Due to its high thermal mass, the object continues to radiate heat for hours after sunset. Electric Foot Stove The heat cube can serve multiple purposes. You can use it as a modern variant of a preindustrial foot stove. Put your feet o...

I was way too #SERIOUSFACE with yesterday’s review, so I had to lighten the mood with one of the products that has brought me the most joy this year. This uniball One P is one of my favorites, but I still don’t fully comprehend what uniball is doing here with the Zento cross-marketing.

I finally restored this old Sheaffer “School Pen” that I’ve had for a few years after buying it for a few bucks in a small baggie of pens (which included a Parker 61!). It had probably sat unused for multiple decades. The ink feed and original cartridge were all gunked up, but I was able to flush it out and put ink directly into the clear pen body. I love how the ink sloshes around as I turn over the pen in my hand!

quieren quitarme el río y también la playa. quieren al barrio mío y que abuelita se vaya. no, no suelte' la bandera ni olvide' el lelolai. que no quiero que hagan contigo lo que le pasó a Hawái thеy want to take the river from me and the beach. they want my neighbourhood and grandma to leave. no, don't let go of the flag nor forget the lelolai. 'cause i don't want to happen to you what happened to Hawaii

Sailor has a Steel nib fountain pen problem, and that issue has come home to roost in the Sailor Pro Gear Regular Lucky Charm Fountain Pen. While there is nothing technically wrong with how this pen performs, which I will get into below, the combination of feel and price has me regretting spending $200 (minus a 10% discount,) on this pen. That is a feeling I rarely have, so let’s dig into why. With the price of Gold nibs ramping up quickly over the past few years, most fountain pen companies…

This video is all about making the neck blank from some very special Cuban mahogany. Also, I set myself the challenge of making a head inlay to match the mandolin’s rosette as seen here- Cheers Gary

The Nahvalur Eclipse was one of the pleasant surprises of my 2025 review queue. The design is admittedly not for everyone, but as a retractable pen, it works well, and is fun to use. I have one Eclipse in the Hepatizon with Silver Trim, with a Fine Steel nib, to give away this week. And the winner is: Congrats Laura! I’ve sent you an email to collect your shipping address.

(Kimberly (she/her) took the express train down the fountain pen/stationery rabbit hole and doesn't want to be rescued. She can be found on Instagram @allthehobbies because there really are many, many hobbies!.) We’re all familiar with the acronym NPD for New Pen Day, or NID for New Ink Day, but have you heard of SPD (and no,I don’t mean Shimano Pedaling Dynamics for you cycling folks). I’m talking about the (hopefully) lesser known and used acronym for Sad Pen Day. While I hope none of us…

In May 2026, two Formula 1® Scuderia Ferrari HP helmet models were released by the LEGO® Editions theme: 43022 Lewis Hamilton & 43014 Charles Leclerc, which were reviewed by Elspeth. She paid attention to both the mind-boggling construction and some really weird new pieces. I was a bit torn on these sets: on one hand, their MOC-like structure and use of various curved pieces was really interesting; on the other, they were covered with brand prints, and I have no interest in making MOCs…

A Sheaffer … that’s interesting? There’s no better standard pen ranking list than Wirecutter’s Best Pens list, we just happen to be months behind mentioning it. We break that down, talk about two new(-ish) pen options in the $150-$250 price bracket, and try to figure out what “Bot Poetry” is.

(Sarah Read is an author, editor, yarn artist, and pen/paper/ink addict. You can find more about her at her website and on Bluesky. And her latest book, The Atropine Tree, is now available!) I don't think my obsession with pocket pens will ever fade (I sure hope it doesn't), so it stands to reason that my gotta-try-em-all quest would bring me, eventually, to the Esterbrook Niblet. And I'm so glad it did. I'm a huge fan of Esterbrook and their bold dive into all things analog. And while I…

I felt like writing a fun post and then I was storing away my pens and I had the idea, also perfect because I have this on both my blog post list and on my slashpages list :) This is the contents of my pencil case, satisfyingly knolled. I have these things with me at all times for two purposes: paper planning and creavity. Right now I use a Filofax Personal for both purposes. More on that one here. First, the pens. On top is a mini BIC four colour pen, because sometimes I need to write with…
