Resin Cast Shaving Brush Handles Made in Oz

[Tony Forsyth]

Hi All,

As most of you will have seen from some of my other posts I have started to cast and make custom shaving brush handles here in Brisbane. I plan to use this thread to show some of my work. If anyone has any questions special requests or would like to see specific colour's used I will try my best to accommodate time permitting of course.
I would really appreciate feedback on colours handle styles and the like and will take all feedback be it positive or negative.
Cheers
Tony.

@Tony Forsyth do you have a business website for you're brushes

Is that 40 or 50mm pvc?

 

[SpeedyPC]

it looks like a 40mm to me

 

[Korbz]

Pretty sure it's 50 to give enough play for defects/polishing etc.

Like the blanks - picked some of my favorite colors.

Shall we hazard a guess as to the pipe class?

Not at this stage @SpeedyPC, I am only just venturing into the making of brush handles, but have been turning and casting for several years now. Maybe sometime in the near future we may end up with a website. We shall see how we go. Thanks for your interest Cheers Tony.

@borked we use various sizes of tubing and also use silicone molds and various others. The tubing you are referring too has an inside diameter of 52mm
Cheers Tony.

@Tony Forsyth - Blue and Red is the correct answer. The blue handle on the far left tin the other post was "spot on" (both color and shape).

So @Snooze The handle would be 48mm High and approximately 34mm waist (Narrowest Diameter) with a 30mm diameter socket and what depth ?
Cheers

Nobody knows what depth the chubby three knot is set at since we have never seen an unset knot, or it's specification. You cannot buy one either. Not that it is relevant because loft would need to be set for the knot that is going to be used.

If you're going to make one, leave the knot hole off and let the buyer specify that at time of purchase?

I have a chubby 2 which is a little smaller (26mm). I'd be happy to measure up for you.
