Lee Valley Kit Fountain Pens Baron and El Grande: Custom Pen Turner Michel Paquet Demo

This is a special video. I take a look at the fountain pen kits available from Lee Valley Tools and how my friend, Michel Paquet, makes custom turnings of acrylics on two of the Lee Valley Tools models; the Baron and the El Grande. I went to Michel's shop where he discusses the process and demonstrates how he finishes and assembles the pens. I then talk about the parts and features of the pens, provide some size comparisons and measurements and then do writing samples. After the writing samples, I talk about what I like and what I don't like about the pens. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
