Wishful thinking?
Or logic?

Anyhow, good video. Thanks for pointing me in it's direction.

Well he would be the person to ask about the brush -- he might have even answered that before. But on the topic of brushes, ol' jockeys can help you out there as well. He had a three-part how-to on making your own brushes which I've since followed:

Basically you can buy the brush knots individually for very affordable prices at The Golden Nib. International shipping isn't available on the shopping cart, but you can email your order and get a quote for shipping to Canada:

Then you just need to either make your own handle like jockeys, or find one in an antique store for cheap and gut it like I did. I posted my results here -- 22mm silvertip for about $35 total:
