Thread: show your brushes!

I would show you mine, but I paid less than $15 for it and isn't worth wiping the dirt off of my dog's paws Someday soon I will purchase a new one that is worthy of a photo.

I put a new knot in this one last night, the boar I put in there originally was terrible.
I have two of these badger knots now, I like this one better because I lowered it in the handle 5mm further, and gained a lot more backbone (for now)
Vintage everready.

The photo show was just amazing. Some very very nice brushes.

Here's mine. I'm working on getting knots in all of them.



And the newest I got last weekend.

how do you get your old knots out...I have several ever readys that I would love to restore but don't want to damage them by taking the old knots out wrong

cut down the hair as short as possible. then take a power drill and go down through the shelf. After that you can keep drilling or use a rotary tool with a router or sanding drum and clean it all out. You can try to save the original shelf, but sometimes I have found on ER brushes it crumbles away on it's own. If you get lose the original shelf one way or another you can easily rebuild one yourself.

All the above,great info.You will most likly want to reset the loft as the older stuff was way high,plaster of paris works great for that.
