Thread taps needn't be confusing.
17 Sep 2020 09:00:00 Phil - Beaufort Ink - Full article...
There are choices to be made when you're buying thread taps for making custom pens, or so called kitless pens or bespoke pens. Unless you have a little engineering experience, it can be difficult to know the differences between each type of thread tap and what they're used for, so below is a simple explanation of each one, to help you decide which type or types you need. Essentially, there are three main types - the underlying tool is the same thing in each case, but some of the

We've got huge amounts of new stock arriving over the coming days and weeks, so we've been clearing out the dark forgotten corners of our warehouse to make room for it. Amongst other things, we've got a small number of pen boxes and pouches that are either slightly imperfect of that we no longer keep on the website - so we decided to reduce their prices and create a few bargains. End of line products are in perfect condition - there's nothing wrong with them, they are just,
All about IPG fountain pen nibs - they are not all what you might think
25 Jun 2020 09:00:00 Phil - Beaufort Ink - Full article...
From time to time I spot ill informed and sometimes frankly misleading explanations of so called IPG nibs on line, including on occasions, on websites run by people selling pens and nibs. It seems it's high time then, that one of the most widely perpetuated myths about fountain pen nibs is dispelled. If you’re new to fountain pens, or pen making, or you’ve never looked into nibs very much, the following might come as a surprising revelation to you, and if you already have an
A great new concept in fountain pens - The Lethaby Ion is going places
8 Apr 2020 18:00:00 Phil - Beaufort Ink - Full article...
It’s always rewarding to work with up and coming professional pen makers, several of whom go on to the giddy heights of commercial production. And so it is with the totally affable and multi talented Charles Lethaby, who is already well known in certain circles for his unique ranges of electric lighting, which take centre stage in many a posh hotel, designer shop and exclusive home throughout the land, and far beyond. Charles has now also applied his creative mind to fountain pens, and

DiamondCast pen blanks now fully re-stocked
4 Feb 2020 10:00:00 Phil - Beaufort Ink - Full article...
DiamondCast pen blanks tend to fly out of our door pretty quickly. Why are they so popular? Well, if you’ve never come across them before, you won’t know that DiamondCast pen blanks are made from polyurethane, and coloured using iridescent mica powders, which produce a wonderful chatoyance inside the resin. Not only that, the major point about them is that they contain jewellery grade, real diamond particles, which result in an absolutely outstanding sparkle in the finished
What will Brexit mean for our overseas customers?
