for you #FountainPen people, what's a good way to store your pens on your desk?
@thelinuxcast I have a pen case, and it's great!
@turgon I have one too, but it's so large. And even a smaller one, it would feel more like packing them away. I'm thinking of how to store the ones that I use every day.

@thelinuxcast @turgon

Drawer? Backpack? Small pen case (that only holds about 4)? Maybe just a pretty little box, preferably padded/felt inside?

@thelinuxcast @turgon I use a pen case like this which might be what you’re looking for

A pen-guin case, if you will 🐧

@thelinuxcast I have several storage solutions.  The main one is a couple of stands / racks that are on my desktop. Another is a wood pen case I keep on a nearby shelf. All my pens that aren't stored in these locations are stored in pen rolls that I keep in a drawer.
@unattributed Are those pen racks things you can buy?

@thelinuxcast Yeah, they're dirt cheap on Amazon... I wouldn't buy them though. They are just cheap plastic ($10 for four of them: https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Display-6-Slots-Eyebrow-Organizer/dp/B08B13SSJJ).

I just found another one that is acrylic that looks pretty decent. I've ordered it (about $13USD), but it's going to be a couple of weeks until I get it.

IMO - vertical is better. Should be able to set the pens nib-down when I need to make certain the feed gets saturated.

@thelinuxcast Should have mentioned - the two black horizontal ones are on Amazon as well.  They are made with a nice acrylic...I really wish they made a five pen version.
@thelinuxcast I’m a fan of the 3D printed pen rack.
@courtneysammis That is pretty cool. If I had a printer, I would do something like that only mini for just a couple pens.
@thelinuxcast Currently inked ones are in this little IKEA jar, the rest are in a cheap pen case I got from aliexpress

@thelinuxcast

Get a pen stand. On the photo is the one I have, bought on Etsy, shop called NobleForge. You might have a few pens that prefer being stored on your desk horizontally. The photo is from the store. Here is the link:

@thelinuxcast either horizontally or vertically with nib facing up, though I would personally vouch for horizontality so that the ink doesn't flow down and it's ready to write
@thelinuxcast I got this at Harbor Freight for about $14. They usually sell for $18.
