When I do a copper,brass or any metal capped brush,I turn an insert out of delrin to set the knot into.
Is sort of like the way boar knots are set.CAUTION

Yup, watched that one, its a good video. But yer too late, I already turned a brush from one. It's a lot of fun and I still have enough for one more handle.
My next one I may go for a more natural look.
