    I have almost died of suspense - what makes that brush tick?

    I'm sorry Lee. I have been hosting a houseful of visitors from Belgium and New Jersey and today I had an inguinal hernia surgically repaired. I will be back in the shop next week to complete the stand for this brush but I will answer your question now.

    As I said, the brush is 28mm silver tipped badger bristles set in a handle of delrin with fine silver trim. It was designed around a rare earth magnet which is potted in the handle with Devcon 2 ton epxoy which I have tinted black. The handle is two pieces that form a mortice and tenon. The distal end (the end with the bristles) forms the tenon. It passes through the plastic and silver trim rings and presses the magnet against the inside of the bored out proximal end of the handle. The magnet is approximately 0.125" from the outside end of the handle. To prevent shedding of bristles I allowed the epoxy to flow into the badger knot. This provides for redundant fastening of the bristles and the two main pieces of the handle (delrin doesn't like to be glued but I can outsmart it).

    Now that I have told you all that info, I will have to kill everyone who has read this post.

    That's pretty cool, Brad. Is there a magnetically attractive brush setup coming too? Great idea
    This brush is one to die for!

    The next poster will ask "Where is the drool smiley when you need it" and so I reply in advance:

    You made a ships wheel out of an old cart wheel and several shaving brushes?
