Interest Check - nib holders

[momijizukamori]

I mentioned that I bought a mini lathe (still pending set up downstairs...). One of the first thing I'd like to try to make is dip pen nib holders, because frankly like 90% of the available ones are boring at best and actively bad at worst (the paint started to chip off my current Brause one after <10 uses).

Initial runs will probably be like, cost of materials + shipping, and I'm planning on getting these stainless steel nib inserts and probably starting off with some like, 'get ten random blanks for $15' type deals.
