			Created by [[Alex Suhov\| Alex 'Lantz' Suhov]] in March 2018 as a YouTube channel, Pen Stock rose to become the leading active pen spinning tutorial center for the English speaking community. Prior to its deletion by a rogue moderator, the Pen Stock discord server was the largest of all pen spinning servers, with a smaller replacement appearing in its stead after. Fraught with controversies in its short lifespan, Pen Stock grew massively after the start of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.
