And some brushes.

You definitely need a stronger dust collector!

I hate to tell you this, but you do realize you you can use them more tha once,, right?

Those are beautiful. I'm especially drawn to the two darker ones in the first picture. Really stunning.

those are awesome, i did an internship at a precision engineering plant an lathe operations is the thing i'm most fascinated by, could watch those guys for hours. Awesome, beautiful job! You selling? lol

The big bottleneck in the process must be getting hold of an obliging badger.

I've always been suspicious of badgers. Any animal to evolve that kind of patterning in a woodland environment isn't to be trusted

You have to get baby badgers. Adults will not fit down the recess. You have to put some glue in the brush pocket then use a stick to jam the baby badger into the hole and hold it till the glue sets.

Two hands, two cheeks, you can use two at once.
