    Default new brush

    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.

    I was thinking the same thing... It does have a watch feel to it! Nice!

    That is a really good idea, thinking outside the box and you came up with something cool..

    Is the base a cap ????
    Are you going to epoxy coat it or leave it au natural ????

    The base is open at the moment, but I'm thinking of closing it with either epoxy (with gears in it) or just with a copper plate. I'm not going to coat it in epoxy, I hope that in time the copper gets a 'classic' look from the water.
