The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where arts, crafts & sewing storage products are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
Lot of questions here so I'll try to address them one by one, but let me know if I missed any.
> So I guess the question first is, besides the expensive Clairefontane papers and their derivatives, are there any US, inexpensive filler paper that I can use that won't feather, bleed or show through on the other side?
It's kind of a DIY way to do it but using 24 or 32lb HP LaserJet paper but printing out lines and hole punching it yourself. Great paper that won't bleed or anything like that unless you have a super thick pen (B+). I go through a lot of pages for notes, but I use notebooks, but I do not experience bleeding with really any of my pens even on pretty bad paper with Heart of Darkness.
> And then what kind of ink would be optimal to use? Any other kinds that I should look into?
Heart of Darkness would work wonderfully on the paper I recommended, as well as most bad papers. I use it on Dollar store bargain bin recycled notebook paper and it doesn't feather.
> I guess the obvious question is, is there chance for the pen to leak if its just sloshing around in the front pouch of my bag without a case / sleeve of any sort?
I would recommend something with a twist cap (I like a clear TWSBI Eco for this so I can see if there any loose ink), but in lieu of that I would just say store the pen nib side up and you should be fine. Brian Goulet did a 'flying with pens' video (which I can't seem to find right now) and I would argue that those conditions are worse than just walking around with pens, and his pens did not leak.
> And if so, what kind of case would I use? (ie: would a ziploc bag be the simplest way to go along with my business?)
I use this case to hold a few fountain pens, a 4 color bic (as a backup), a mechanical pencil, and and eraser.
> In my scenario would it instead be worth it to purchase the Metropolitan or some other Pilot pen?
You could get a Metropolitan, but its finest nib is 'fine', and the Lamy is available in an 'extra fine'. As you pointed out since Pilot is finer across the board these will be fairly close together. Some people are very turned off by the grip on Lamy's so it's very much personal preference.
>Lastly, is the transition to fountain pens really worth it or is it something that can truly wait until later when I'm dealing less with lots of writing and more on signing important documents?
I prefer writing with fountain pens, so I highly recommend finding a pen that you like and using it non-stop. My biggest endorsement for fountain pens is that they encourage me to write, whether it is for notes, studying, or writing my scripts by hand. In the past month I've written over 200 pages altogether and can honestly say I've enjoyed every second of it.
So i haven't DM'd in years, since having kids. Decided when kids were old enough i would DM Dungeon world cause of its ease and flexibility.
Oldest is only 4 but hanging out w/ other Dads i was surprised at the enthusiasm to play D&D. So i thought, why not get ready now and invite a couple over to play a oneShot while the kids played.
I pre made some characters (some like 90% e.g. leaving cleric's religion blank). But also made templates if it goes well and they want to create or modify their characters.
Plan to make a GM tin too. maybe some mini maps/tokens. or at least GM Moves, MM cards, and spare dice, & tokens.
Edit: Wow thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Sorry it took so long (3 kids and my oldest is 4!) but here is the link to everything i made so far, I wish i could give credit to the character images but i just googled them:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hxYY_MtgvOf9xTnGawrNFhdSkTIegAra
And here are the amazon links:
The tins (make sure its the big ones)
Mini pencils
Business card sleeves
Also i've had something like this for years for cutting straight lines easy:
https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Cutter-Automatic-Safeguard-Guillotine/dp/B0757DJR8J
OH, I got this...
DM since 1978 here.
For maps and such you need this or something like this
https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Storage-Tube-Blueprints-Expandable/dp/B01DLYJF9I/ref=sr_1_48?keywords=shipping+tubes&qid=1555674263&s=gateway&sr=8-48
Mine is pretty-much water proof but I got mine via a friend who worked at a vinyl sign making shop (he gave me some of the - usually discarded/recycled - lovely rigid threaded end tubes in which they receive rolls of vinyl). For maps and the like, both transport and long term storage, you cannot beat this sort of storage. Alternately, paper mailing tubes can suffice to keep flat things rolled/flat, but nothing beats a waterproof tube.
... next, you need to bring the game, make it easy on yourself, get a few of those 'hanging folder friendly' milk-crate-style storage crates. They will hold our favorite hobby-sized books, and much more. . . a few hanging folders can help you organize your printed campaign materials too. With some good rubber-straps to anchor it on top of this
https://www.amazon.com/Two-Wheeled-Collapsible-Handcart-Rolling-lightweight/dp/B074T8WDJV/ref=sr_1_59_sspa?keywords=shipping+tubes&qid=1555674263&s=gateway&sr=8-59-spons&psc=1
which can be used to store all your minis and such. With this on hand you can bring the game anywhere.
I've seen thriller films where an assassin will carry a collapsable rifle in one of those cylindrical cases for paintings. Lengthwise you could fit pretty much any arming sword in one (which I think would be appropriate, since Arthur supposedly lived in a time before plate armor was advanced enough for two-handed swords to be feasible), though I'm not sure what kind of diameter they have. Maybe you couldn't fit the crossguard in one. I'm not sure if they come long enough to accommodate a longsword, but that seems easy enough to handwave.
And if it's a gladius style sword it would easily fit in such a case.
EDIT: I didn't even think of an instrument case, like /u/Particular_Aroma suggested. That's even more practical. Depending on the size of the instrument case, you could fit literally any size sword. A double bass case could probably fit one of those ridiculously gigantic, probably-parade-use-only great swords.
I got one of these GoKnit bags when they were on sale on Massdrop. It's nothing super special and kinda overpriced for what it is (I paid $20), but what I do like is that it has this snap on strap that you can attach to your jeans belt loop and literally walk around and knit if you so desire. The small fits two socks and their yarn in progress with room to spare. There's also an interior strap for yarn management, but I don't find it super useful if I'm not changing colors.
I used to use a small make-up case I got as a freebie with some cosmetics because it was kind of box-like, and it was coated on the outside with a plasticy material so I didn't have to worry about it getting wet or anything.
That said, I have totally rocked ziplock bags too and those work just fine.
EDIT: Forgot to link the bag! https://www.amazon.com/Purple-Small-GoKnit-Project-Drawstring/dp/B008B6GKZO/
I REALLY like this one, and it is a very reasonable price! Notice the shoulder strap and handle, and it is expandable to carry different sizes of posters! Some of the posters given out at SDCC are really large. It is also sturdy and pretty indestructible. And you won't loose the cap! This is a good one.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DLYJJWG/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I7D9SINE8J88&colid=FOTK0ZVFF6LP
If you like selection, here's a another one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IY1PAVQ?psc=1
Haha, those are good, but I don't think you need 4. The double decker tackle boxes are really useful though if you want to get one.
Also, an artist box is good, and I bet they come in manlier colors too. This is a small version of the 40 drawer I have, and they are really useful for the small quickly accessible components at your desk.
Your start day is: February 25th
I would love this tote under my crochet list
Thank you for holding this contest and good luck at your new job!
I work in IT and have a relatively active rotation of pens. I take a lot of notes daily, so its nice to have a few different writing options depending on my mood.
I carry them in this pen wrap, which sits inside of my messenger bag with other bits and pieces. My office also provides free Clairfontain paper, which is pretty sweet.
I saw your title and was going to comment and recommend Homecube before even reading the body of your post.
I have this Homecube and I think it's a great case for the price.
I use mine for fountain pens, too. I like the elastic to keep my nicer writing utensils in, and the zipper and Velcro pockets are really convenient for extra lead and erasers and ink refills.
I have [this one] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IU9H6IW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YbDYzbXY8JVHY>) and i really love it but you have to be ok with your pens touching. Quality of the material is really good though and they come in some solid colours!
Okay then I would look into something more along these lines
https://www.amazon.com/Art-Supply%C2%AE-Artist-Pastel-Storage/dp/B00OTZW578/ref=pd_sim_201_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41XMIcN4-yL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=V343XEW0Z263K2BXV7J1
I'm not sure if that'll fit them, the bottles are apparently 1.2inches tall, so use that in your search.
This one looks like it'll fit them securely enough.
https://www.amazon.com/Art-Alternatives-Wood-Supply-Chest/dp/B000AIF174/ref=pd_sim_201_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41s86DDqLRL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR145%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=V9YVCV7DT0SJ4H0S6DP7
At least they wouldn't be just strewn about in a box so they should be fine.
I haven't bought one yet but I've seen some great "project" bags I have my eye on. Like this: https://hobbii.com/yarn-bag
Edit: or this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSQP3V3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ewACCbBQ2G10Y
>Derwent pocket pencil wrap
Do you have a link? I see this one on Amazon, but no reference to a pocket. It would be nice to have something pocket sized to help protect pens.
​
https://smile.amazon.com/Derwent-Pencil-Canvas-Pencils-2300671/dp/B004AVOG50?sa-no-redirect=1
Thanks!
All I was trying to say is this case is a perfect fit for the hopper + 3 extra batteries + a stir tool + 2 tubes of herb + crafty cooling unit with attached firewood 3 mouthpiece: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VLP8H94?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
That's all.
Try to find something like this and cut your blunts in half to make them fit, then just put it right on top of your junk. Works literally every time. The plastic is to help keep the blunts safe from breaking.
That's a Pilot Pensemble, you can get them from ebay/amazon/japan. Great wrap, love mine.
https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Pensemble-Pocket-Cowhide-Brown/dp/B005K7H7KE
I got this super cheap one. I liked it so much I got a second one. Tons of room (up to like 15 pens if you don't mind it being cramped.) Tons of room for ink vials, cartridges, converters, nibs, tissues/wipes.
Do people's backpacks really not have a pencil holder? Even my climbing bag has a place where you could at least sort of organize pens and pencils, and when I'm in a tree writing to me is about as useful as a DVD rewinder.
I don't know, I guess I don't understand pencil cases. If you don't have a backpack and want something slim then there's stuff like this and if you're going to carry a lot then there are bigger ones. I guess I just like to have a place for things, more than just "here's a sack full of stuff I use".
Plano boxes (generic versions as well). You can find good storage boxes in any arts & crafts store, look for jewelry/bead containers. Or better yet, check the fishing aisle at walmart/target for some good ones. Similar to this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722NZD4N/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1
Get one of these
Something like this is good for transistors, ICs, and semiconductors.
Will save you so much time when putting together parts for a build. Also you can keep one of the drawers empty, then use it to put all your components for your current project in so they'e not just loose on the table.
In terms of carry case this is what I bought. Similarly Amazon US also do the same case.
If you're talking more desk storage case then these will run you into hundreds but you can get some nice cheaper ones like this one.
What brand is this?? Look like it works pretty well.
EDIT: Amazon appears to carry it so I am Primed to get a couple of these if you can verify how many cards they seem to hold, whether sleeved or unsleeved, and how you did the tabs. :-)
The cloth it's on isn't actually a pouch, and is more just a piece of fabric I sewed together. The reason why I use fabric to put the pens on is that the bands on pens can become scratched over time. I really try to limit and avoid that scratching, so if the pens aren't in their case, they're on this cloth. I carry it with me everywhere, and when I'm doing a lot of writing, I'll lay it out over the table I'm at. My plan is to sew a new one within a month or so, the idea being is I want more padding and correctly sized for the pens I carry (this one is a bit bigger, intended for Bento box when I created it).
If you're looking for a good pen roll/pouch, I really like the Pilot rolls. You can find one here:
https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Pensemble-Pocket-Cowhide-Brown/dp/B005K7H7KE
I have two of them, one in black, and one in cowhide. That's what these pens sit in when I travel (unless the pens came with their own pouch, and 3 of the pens here do). I also carry a traveling inkwell in my pouch as well.
Something like this (link) is good. Steer clear of bags. This style (link) is borderline passable but I wouldn't put any loose pencils in the bag side. Just be careful not to drop or jostle them too much as it will most likely break the leads in the wood.
I use a mix of a lot of the options mentioned by other posters but I also have a few KnowKnits bags I've been gifted and I love them. They sell onAmazon but I've seen them at yarn stores too.
I also carry a little altoids style tin with a fabric tape measure, slip and snip scissors, a cable needle, blunt needles, stitch markers, needle caps, and a knitting ring. I just move this from bag to bag.
I sure do! I love this case also. But if I keep buying all of these pencils I’m going to have to buy some more, or a bigger one.
LIHIT LAB Pen Case, Brown, 4.7 x 7.9" (A7551-9) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCIA?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I keep easy access stuff in the tray on top. Bottom is for things I use less often, which right now includes all my glass (wrapped up). Really nice box for this stuff if anyone has been looking for something. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000AIF174/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ok good, that is what I was leaning toward. I'll be taking them all apart later today. I'm also thinking about getting some sort of container with small drawers for storage, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00019JP8S/ref=mp_s_a_28?pi=75x65&qid=1346178804&sr=8-28
I like this one. It holds a surprising amount and it's easy to keep organized.

Here's a $19 case that holds up to 48 pens. I just got one and it is obviously a cheap case but will work fine for keeping pens organized and protected.

Ok didn't have tags or anything but data_eater got one just like mine at @: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VLP8H94

Apparently its made by case star for holding school supplies.
Happy Vaping!
Let's see,
​
All that said, my setup time is not super quick but I can take quite a lot with me and it's just lugging around a backpack.
Could consider a tackle box or a craft supply box. Clear is probably more useful. Example
I'm a professor, so I'm always carrying more than I can fit in my pockets (laptop, notepads, sometimes piles of student papers, etc.). I have a messenger bag that's very simple with not much organization. The main compartment is divided into two parts, one of which has a couple of loops for pens and a small pocket. There's a open pocket on the back of the bag for things that you might want to access quickly. And there are small pouches on the sides of the bag for sunglasses or other small things.
My laptop goes in the part of the main compartment without pen loops. A couple of notepads go in the other part of the main compartment, along with a small case which fits in the small pocket and holds earbuds and a USB drive. Student papers go in that compartment when I need to carry them. My sunglasses go in one of the side pouches (the one I can easily reach while wearing the bag), and a pocket knife goes in the other side pouch (or in my pocket if I'm expecting to use it a lot). The back pocket holds a carrying case with several pens, a small power bank and cables, and a small multi-tool. I also have a small flashlight that can fit in various places depending on how accessible I want it to be, but usually is stored in the carrying case. (I like this carrying case specifically because it lies flatter than most others I've seen, so it's not uncomfortable against my back while in the back pocket of my messenger bag.)
I got these, because the reviews seemed the best: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746HP1N8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're a little over a dollar each.
Oh, sorry about that. It's basically like this: https://www.amazon.com/Shappy-Rectangular-Containers-Portable-Organizer/dp/B0746HP1N8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1536781691&sr=8-4&keywords=tins
Alright, so step one is to sand it, thank you! Any suggestions on what primer/paint to use?
Is there a reason it must be custom? There are a lot of production ones that are very nice as well.
For leather, I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Pensemble-Pocket-Cowhide-Brown/dp/B005K7H7KE
There's also http://nockco.com/
Gotcha, Thanks a lot. I have this case at the moment but am thinking of getting one like you have with individual pen loops.
I have a few of these boxes. I love that you can move the dividers around to suit your needs exactly.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VLP8H94/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can fit everything you need in this. I fit the hopper, bud container, abv container, a brush, 2 extra batteries, the silicone tip, and a paperclip. It will fit in your pocket too.
I use this box I got from amazon. It's not perfect (some of my taller ink bottles don't quite fit in the bottom with the shelf in) but otherwise it's quite nice.
Tackle box!
Something like: https://www.amazon.com/SE-87322DB-Compartment-Adjustable-Sections/dp/B002UZZ06M/r
The removable sections make it easy to have sections for each length / type of jumper wire and any screws, posts, etc.
I clean mine with a wet paper towel. That's it. Works fine.
For storage and travel, I use a carrying tube:
Tube
Thank you! I use these cases from Amazon
This is the one that I use, it works well and protects your pens from impact:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EJBWN6Y/ref=yo_ii_pd_dx_s_1/166-1749971-1596325?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01EJBWN6Y&pd_rd_r=QWTDEABTKMC0H4V4WQJ1&pd_rd_w=uH1xk&pd_rd_wg=5m9Hj&psc=1&refRID=CDH8YZ6P55NS86SK81BM
What storage containers do you use (or have you used) for your various bits and baubles?
What were the advantages/disadvantages? I'm thinking of trying to standardize on just a few types of storage and don't want to back myself into a corner.
Here's what I use, and I find it really helpful:
http://www.amazon.com/10744-44-Drawer-Hardware-Craft-Cabinet/dp/B00019JP8S
where can I get that case, link please. And/or if not what are the dimension on this? So I can search for something similar.
is this it? https://www.amazon.com/SE-87322DB-Compartment-Adjustable-Sections/dp/B002UZZ06M/ref=pd_sim_469_9?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002UZZ06M&pd_rd_r=WRQ6QR0CFDRC1960WVMQ&pd_rd_w=nTG2W&pd_rd_wg=GvXmV&psc=1&refRID=WRQ6QR0CFDRC1960WVMQ
Here is a hard case I use. Rigid and seems to protect the Pencil well.
I'd recommend avoiding baggies as they are hard to tell apart even when all your bits are organized.
I'd go for boxes like these: Craft Organizer or Craft Cabinet
I've been using the Lihitlab Slim Pen case. It's a good case, but now I have a couple of vintage and FC pens I find I want something with individual pen pockets.
Are you looking for a drawer organizer? If so, cigar foam trays is the shiznit!
If you're looking for a travel case - roll-up cases from Pilot are wicked awesome, if you have a few pens.

Nope, just a generic hard case I bought on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01EJBWN6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LYuQybKDYCZQ7
I'll give you a run down on how I carry all of my stoof:
I carry a Leatherman wave, bit extension, and 1 of the bit trays in this. The cases clip is really sturdy, so it stays on, but since it slides on and off, I only pick it up off of my desk when I think I'll need it (which has been really often as of late).
I carry the driver for the iFixit kit, usb OTG cable, 128gb flash drive, micro SD usb reader, short micro usb cable, a spudger (I do almost all of the mobile repairs in house), the bits/extender from this kit interchanged with some of the iFixit bits, and two zebra f-701s in this.
That, plus a standard 1/4" bit extender sit in my front left pocket with this kits nifty little thumbwheel.
Then I just have a decent pen light clipped in my back pocket with my wallet.
Yes, I'm an EDC whore.
Whatever makeup you choose to wear, one thing I can say is DON’T wear your high end makeup. It’s so dark, guys can’t tell the difference, and no pictures will even be taken. You want to limit your overhead cost as much as possible. I have a separate makeup kit that I bring to work that’s full of strictly drugstore products. I carry them in here so that when I’m getting ready, my products and brushes don’t have to come into contact with the communal area.
I've just ordered this today.
If you're interested, I can drop my opinions and images of it when it arrives.

Not OPs but Lihit Lab is very similar.

I just get cheap craft boxes like this, and then cut up a sheet of 1/4" foam to put in the bottom of the spaces.
