In Episode 47 of The Pen Addict Podcast Myke and I are joined by Dan Bishop from Karas Kustoms. Dan is better known as the man behind two successful Kickstarter pen projects: The Render K and The Bolt. We discuss pen design, Kickstarter, and getting thing done in their small machine shop in Arizona. Thank you Dan for joining us!
Top 5 Pens
And the crowd shouts "Finally!"
It has been since last summer that I have updated my Top 5 Pens list and boy have I heard it from many of you. Since I have been so slow to update my list, I have instituted a change that will hopefully help me keep it more up to date.
See that sidebar over to the left? It now contains a link to a page I created for my Top 5 Pens. And it is not just a regular Top 5 list, but rather a grouping of Top 5 lists that many of you have asked for in the past. I thought having one overall list, plus several underlying lists with a more specific focus was a great idea and I have tried to implement some of the most popular lists you have asked for.
Since this page is a continual work in progress, I will be adding more images, features, commentary, and even more lists. If you have any suggestions for the future please let me know!
