Brush restoration

Drilled out the butterscotch brushes today using a drill press and forsnter bits.
AS2A @ 22mm and Rooney @ 24mm - off to @Srdjan for some Rhodium Knots

Man would have loved that setup but space and use dictate not for me. The dremel stuff I find has multiple uses but there is no denying it’s much easier with big boy toys.
 
Oh, so we can all send our brushes to you now? :ROFLMAO:

I'm glad that they have all ended up being made useful. That was my original plan but really just no time and then I lost interest.

Ok,

I can now answer your question. Send them to Holiday. He has better tools/toys. Gives him an excuse to use them.
 
Thanks @Ebonysw45 not exactly big boys toys, more like cheap DIY handyman
 
Im playing around with weighting the brushes as well. I have set them in blu tack, loctite kintsuglue or sugru might also be an option. I am using American coins because they were easier to source. The dime fits into the barrel easily and the 1 cent is good for the top as is the Australian 5c and 2 dollar coins. As a shelf the quarter dollar worked fine.

Ok then. Increased the hole size on 3 brushes and gave them a buff. The loft is set for each and now I just have to set the knots.

left to right

Rubberset 203 22mm horse 54mm loft
Ever-Ready 152C 20mm boar 52mm loft
Rubberset 203 Muhle silvertip fibre Synthetic knot V2 20mm
Ever Ready 150 22mm Tuxedo synthetic 55mm loft.
I opted for the Synth for the the 150 Ever Ready because the black fibre looked better than the white boar.
