    I own two Ranga pens - their conjunction between cap & barrel are seamless; if only all manufactured products in the world could attain this benchmark of superior quality, dedication & (timeless) artisanry. The western world could take a few leaves out of this company's book for such unrelenting craftsmanship - phenomenal !!

      Why should government be involved in anyone’s business? Capitalism and their products will provide the funds to build a better workshop with more precise machinery. Besides, businesses fund government. So wouldn’t it make more sense to let businesses keep more of their money so they can more easily afford better workshops and more precise machinery?

      @@immortalbeing196 Ranga doesn’t make high production pens like Pilot or Lamy. They make handcrafted pens. You buy a Ranga pen because of it being made by hand. Not because it’s spit out by the hundreds from a machine as someone stands by and watches the machine do all the work. You can buy about 5 pilot Metropolitan pens for the cost of one Ranga pen. Which is the better pen? Which one will you appreciate more? The one that’s made by a machine? Or the one that is handcrafted individually by a person that is a true craftsman? If you want a precisely made pen that is exactly like every other pen that’s made before it and after it. Buy a Lamy Safari or a Pilot Metropolitan. If you want a handcrafted pen that is as much of an individual as you are, then buy a Ranga.

      @@FriedPi-mc5yt You are totally mistaken about my point, I'm not talking about the mass-production machines. See even ranga pen makers use lathe machines and buffing machines right! but the quality of their lathe is outdated and the studio looks messy too. I'm talking about how these things could have been better. Big mass-production brands like Pilot also make namiki pens that are premium and handpainted.. I own a pilot metro, a lamy safari,, and a handcrafted Gama too.

      @@immortalbeing196 Do you think a modern machine would make that much of a difference in the pen you get? You’re looking at this through the lens of a first world resident. If his shop was spotless and perfectly clean, would that change the appearance of the pen you get? If he had a modern lathe, would that improve the appearance and quality of the pen? What you are seeing is the shop of a very skilled, talented craftsman that is very busy. None of the things you suggested in the way of improvements would have much of an impact on the pen he produces. There is a such thing as the “law of diminishing returns”. Which means that when you get to a certain point in improvement, your gains begin to lessen by larger and larger margins as you try to reach “perfection”. If he thought more modern equipment would improve his pens or improve the way he makes them, he would have likely already made those changes. I’m not sure why you can’t accept his skills are amazing and that he can make fine writing instruments with so little in the way of modern, advanced equipment. Maybe you should step back and look at things from a different point of view rather than complain about how he isn’t working in the way you think he should. Or that his shop isn’t up to the standards you think his shop should be in. I don’t own a Ranga pen. But I really want one because of the way it’s made and because the man who makes it will use simple tools with a high degree of skill.

      See the 2015 video of this same craftsman using a much nicer collet chuck and lathe headstock. I wonder what happened to that nice headstock, replaced by a rudimentary drill head chuck. this guy is expected to make the same quality pen from poorer tools. Edit: In this video he has to use the tailstock to drill the core and working between centres like this is necessary with a poor headstock. Nice pens, basic diy lathe setup. Puts western pen turners with expensive lathes and tools to shame.
