The Grey NATO – 351 – Tactile Turn x TGN, Watch Writing, 3D Printing, Pen Collecting & More With Ed Jelley
This week, the TGN Boys have a special double header of a show as they announce the pre-order for a special TGN-themed pen (the CPN1, duh) along with an extra-long chat with the man who made the new pen possible, Ed Jelley. He’s a watch writer, an early pen blogger, a 3D-printing industrialist, and he works with Tactile Turn to help create an array of special projects. Jason, James, and Ed chat about his start in watch writing, how he got very deep into the pen world, the evolution of his watch collection over the years, and the process of creating a pen for The Grey NATO.
Stay in the mix for a maritime-themed Final Notes that will have you looking into the history of a famous shipwreck and experiencing one of Canada’s greatest folk singers.
