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
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
What will Brexit mean for our overseas customers?
28 Jan 2020 22:00:00 Phil - Beaufort Ink - Full article...
Whether you’re happy about Brexit or sad, for it or against, cheering from the rooftops or crying into your beer, the immutable fact is that the UK is leaving the EU this coming Friday. So what are the implications for our many, many customers who live in the EU? What is going to change when you buy from Beaufort Ink? Err, well, nothing actually. The situation is that when we leave the EU at midnight on 31st January, the UK will immediately enter into a transition period for the
Happy Christmas from Beaufort Ink

Take a look at Garcia-Deschacht and the amazing handmade fountain pens they produce. We’ve been working with Laura and Andy since the start of their journey, supplying them with tooling, fountain pen nibs, pen blanks, ink converters etc. We came across an interview the other day, which we thought you may like to read too - what absolutely beautiful pens they produce (and not a bad showcase for some of our products either, it has to be said). Without a doubt, one of a kind,
Take a look at our view of the world

Having been spoiled with the scenic value of the Highlands of Scotland for the past several yeras, do we miss it? Yes, of course we do. But when you have this view to feast your eyes on every time you look up from your computer screen, life can't be too bad can it! Exmoor is beautiful, and our little part of it, looking straight down the Exe Valley, frankly takes a lot of beating. Exmoor in late winter. The view from our office
