We have our winners for the free giveaway!

It's finally over, so you can stop holding your breath. ;)

We had a grand total of 117 entries for the free giveaway! I must say, I'm glad that there's such a thing as random number generators... I would have had such a hard time picking winners out myself. There were so many interesting entries and awesome ink choices!

For those who didn't win and those who did, I want to give you all a big, huge, and most sincere:

THANK YOU!

I had a really good time running this contest and I hope you all did too!

Now, onto the really important part - The winners. I've used the random number generator on random.org to get these results: (drum roll please)...

First prize: #38 - Nonsensical!

Second prize: #4 Freddy77mac!

Third prize: #101 Boris Susanj!

Fourth prize: #76 Msmidwifery!

The winners must email me with their mailing address to claim their prizes. You have 1 week to claim your prize before it is moved on to someone else.

For those who don't know, I'll explain what the prizes are:

1st - A brand new Jinhao 500 fountain pen with a 777 custom CI nib grind.

2nd, 3rd, and 4th - A free 777 custom grind on any one pen you send in.

Thanks to all for participating in the giveaway! I wish I had something for all of you, but I don't... I can say however, that here will be more giveaways in the future! Make sure to subscribe today to be informed of any new giveaways in the future!

Best Regards,

We've reached the half-way point for the free give-away!

We've finally come to the half-way point for the free give-away!

You guys have been doing great so far! Hopefully it won't be much longer before we reach the end and the four winners are chosen!

To keep things fresh and updated I've got two things to talk about today.

• Re-cap of the free-giveaway for those who are new
• What to do to speed up the free-giveaway

Let's start out with a re-cap of what this free give-away is all about and what's up for grabs!

The free give-away was started exactly 2 weeks ago as a fun little contest to both promote this blog, and to give people a chance to win some neat prizes. There are four prizes being given:

Getting closer to ending the free giveaway! But wait, there's more!

Some of you new visitors to my blog may not know yet so I'll first inform you. I'm giving away a fountain pen with one of my custom nib grinds on it. To enter for a chance to win, visit this page!


The new subscribers has been a little slow, so I thought I'd throw in another little something to speed this contest up a bit! Here's a something you won't want to miss out on!

Three people who have entered the contest will also be chosen to win a special prize!

Free fountain pen giveaway! Don't miss out on this one!

Here's a deal you don't want to miss out on! I'm going to be giving away a free fountain pen. But not just any pen... This pen will be sporting a 777 Pen Repair custom grind! The grind on this pen is one of my smooth, buttery, crisp cursive italics! You don't want to miss out on this opportunity to try out one of my CI grinds for absolutely free. The nib comes attached to an awesome Jinhao 500 fountain pen. These heavy-weight Chinese-made pens are of superb quality and are really fun to use. This pen is a c/c filler and comes with a converter included. It also comes with a soft felt "gift-pouch". This pen with the grind is worth over $45.00, but it could be yours for nothing!

By now you're probably asking "how do I get it!?!". Well I'll tell you!

And we have a winner for the free Esterbrook-box giveaway!

First of all: Thanks to everyone who participated in this fun little giveaway! There will be more in the future so if you didn't win, don't lose heart!

To select the winner I used a random number generator. I saved the page to prove the randomness of my selection. You can click on the picture to see a super-sized view of it.

So then, according to this random number generator, the winner of this giveaway is: 

#6 - Freddy77mac!!

Congratulations Freddy! Your prize will be shipped as soon as I can get your shipping address. Please email me at: tyler@sixdahls.com to claim your prize!

Best Regards,

Free Esterbrook-box giveaway! Don't miss out!

Hello to all of my Blog readers, subscribers, followers, etc. Now is your chance to enter for my free giveaway on my Blog! It starts now and ends on Sunday night, 6:30PM Central Time. At the end on Sunday night a winner will be selected and the prize will be shipped the following morning. So what is the prize!?! Since I'm a big fan of Esterbrooks this giveaway is geared toward (but not limited to) those who share my interests in these amazing pens. I'm giving away an original Esterbrook-box with filling instructions! No pen included (sorry) but the box and instructions are a great addition to any vintage Esterbrook collection. They are a neat piece of Esterbrook history.

Here is the box shown closed. The winner of this giveaway will receive this exact box shown in the picture here.

Here it is opened with the papers inside.

Here is the paper. One side has instructions on how to use an Esterbrook pencil, warranty, nib options, etc. The other side has filling/cleaning instructions.

The box with the paper flipped over showing the other side.

So by now I'm sure you're wondering: "how do I win?". Well I'll tell you. It's this easy. Drop me a comment below about what you think of my site. Make sure to leave a name instead of anonymous. The comments will all be numbered like so: first comment is #1, second comment is #2, and so on... Then on Sunday night I will pick a random number and select the winner. I will make a new blog post with the name and number of the winner. Whoever the winner is must then contact me via email to claim the prize!

The "contest" begins today so be sure to leave a comment soon so you don't miss out! No comments will be accepted after Sunday night, 6:30PM Central Time. I look forward to hearing from you!
