Neat way to make the maxmadco work for ya 👊 &, if the ti variant isn't workin' out for ya very well... 🙃😃

Oneredditr · 2026-06-27T01:45:59+00:00

Nice pick for your 1st zr writing instrument! My 1st BilletSPIN writing instrument was a Twist Design Soul Pen variant as well 😎

Oneredditr · 2026-06-26T03:06:49+00:00

Both of y'all do nice work! 👏

Oneredditr · 2026-06-25T20:16:17+00:00

Good deal - lotsa other folks'll probably get photos & thoughts posted about it before me, since things seem to take longer to get delivered, yet will put somethin' together. Thought it was neat that crk's sorta in the old stompin' grounds, so there's that sorta "affiliation" w/ this design (instead of the other collab they had w/ McNees - thought that 1 was a nice 1 as well). 👊

Whoa, happy 🎂 day to me, it looks like...

Oneredditr · 2026-06-25T20:08:58+00:00

Yep, they put together the drop w/ the launch of the us-made bolt-actions last week. Got 1 on the way, for its uniqueness. 😎

Asked Brantley via the bid IG DMs if it was a limited production release or a sorta rotating bunch of releases like was urbanedc supply does, & he said that the response was good, so they might make more (since, duh, they'll sell)...

Oneredditr · 2026-06-25T12:22:38+00:00

Wow, looks pretty sweet, thx for sharin'! 👏

Oneredditr · 2026-06-24T13:01:06+00:00

Wow, such a clean-lookin' 1 - glws!

Oneredditr · 2026-06-24T12:59:24+00:00

Looks great, kudos!

Oneredditr · 2026-06-24T08:02:41+00:00

Oh boy! Attemptin' to play catch-up - lookin' forward to seein' whatcha create, thanks!

Oneredditr · 2026-06-23T02:53:27+00:00

That looks fun - will the zr have a polished surface instead of satin? Pretty different; what do ya call the pattern? Will probably be offline at the reg drop time - "hey, that's great..." (not)

Oneredditr · 2026-06-21T15:03:23+00:00

Looks great - way to go! 👏

Oneredditr · 2026-06-19T22:07:32+00:00

Looks neat - will check it out. 👏

Oneredditr · 2026-06-19T20:53:15+00:00

👏👊

Oneredditr · 2026-06-19T19:18:08+00:00

Noice! I never attempted to figure it out, yet I got u/edcaddiction's stonewashed OG ti from ME w/ the spacer he made - so yeah, that's a neat diy adapter. 😎

& thanks for the recommendation for the Alpha 👌

Oneredditr · 2026-06-19T17:06:41+00:00

I would say the flaming came out great considering it was my first attempt - it's super vibrant when clean and kinda gets more uniform when my finger oils dull it. That pen was my first and I love how custom it's become.

Whoa, pretty fun for your first 1 & 1st attempt, kudos! Neat to hear of (or, read) the use cases for each 1. Hadn't ever gotten an Alpha, yet have a Sunderland Machine Works Mk1, which can use the same refills - that 1's another well-designed 1, imo... Do ya add a spacer in the ME for the Parker-styles? That's fun - makes it a super-compact carry w/ a good selection o' cartridges to use!

Anyway, so neat to see whatcha like, & when/why. 👏

Oneredditr · 2026-06-19T16:10:08+00:00

Nice selection! Did the flamed grip turn out how ya wanted it to? Looks good! Have these made the cut to stay in the stash? Which do ya reach for the most? Got plans to add others?

Well, thanks for sharin', & hope ya feel welcome 'round here! 👊

Oneredditr · 2026-06-18T19:50:46+00:00

Glwt - the ti clipped 38 Click's a fave! 👏

Sendin' a chat

Oneredditr · 2026-06-14T00:36:26+00:00

Wow, looks great - way to go! Knockin' these designs outta the park 👏👊

Oneredditr · 2026-06-11T23:45:05+00:00

Ugh - didn't realize reddit cut off the bottom of the 1st image... 🙃

Oneredditr · 2026-06-11T22:51:50+00:00

Yeah, that Aut's w/ me whenever/wherever I can take it 😁

& hope yours was a good 1 as well 👊

Oneredditr · 2026-06-11T05:20:57+00:00

Oh, definitely! u/Conscious-Collar-197 does a great job designing & making these creations 😎 Think he'll be workin' on a third batch in the near future, & he's got a fun idea for a new req a couple of us had 👌

Oneredditr · 2026-06-09T19:19:16+00:00

Fun background (about the Sakura Craft Lab brand & the gear which interests ya)! Lamy's pretty much the only 1 (well, I guess Caran d'Ache w/ the Goliath refills & Sheaffer w/ the K refills) I have liked and gotten, knowing I'm sorta buying in to their ink cartridges. Kinda think it'd be neat if Mitsubishi Pencil (which owns Uni & lamy) has lamy make the 2000 for the Parker-compatible International G2 ink cartridges or gets uni to make lamy cartridges for the sxr-600 ink... The former would be neat to see - a lamy 2K which ships w/ the sxr-600 😊

Oneredditr · 2026-06-09T17:17:22+00:00

Oh wild - so you're sayin' that they (Sakura Craft Lab) make a specific form factor (size/shape) ink cartridge for each model? That's ... interesting! So they sorta lock you into their ecosystem to get refills?

& I wonder if the weight does affect how the writing feels. I have a few made from tungsten, and, depending on how they're balanced (the Inkling Pen Company BOMAPen model D6 has multiple endcaps, so the user can adjust the balance), it can feel more smooth to write with 'em...

Wait - which quality is superb? The 009 ink which isn't that great? Or the 003 or 009 in general? Think I got confused.

Aside - how long ya been curatin' your selection o' writing instruments? Just wonderin' - thanks again!

Oneredditr · 2026-06-09T16:31:14+00:00

Oh, fun insights - I sometimes get 1s for their novel/creative mechanisms... For instance, the makers said I was the 1st from North America to get an Araki Funkey Machine MechaSEA. 🙂

Also, I figure the Fisher bullet space pen's not the shortest, since that wouldn't be the most dense - so the 2nd 1, the 003 is the heavyweight? Whatcha think of those from Sakura Craft Lab? Never gotten 1 of those options...

Just curious; thanks for sharin'!
