Just finished my first home made brush in a steampunk style
The base of the brush is made of 3 copper fitings. an 42/42mm soldered on an 42/38mm with an 28/28mm soldered on that one.
The brush size is an 27mm knot with an 60mm top size that I bought on ebay.

there are some solder flaws that I am restoring atm :)
I'm planning to make a straight that matches to when I got some time.
