Thread: Rudy, the pot bellied shave brush.

That was on my mind the whole time I was turning it.

I was praying to the lathe gods quite a bit. They must have listened, cause Rudy held together.

Spot on brush Andrew! Love the long handle length and number of pieces used,,incredible.
Need to buy some of that G2 glue next time at lee valley. Nice chuck on your lathe too.

Best thing I ever did was buy that Oneway Talon chuck. It was expensive, but well worth it. Same with the accessories I've got for it, smaller jaws (like in the first page pic) and the big wings to grab the outside rim of a bowl. Here it is on my big lathe. Very handy for finish the bottom of a bowl.



That G2 epoxy is great stuff too. You can get it in 3 different sizes, if you are only doing small projects you can get the small size. I also recommend getting the little disposable measuring cups with it too. Makes the 2:1 ratio easier to deal with.

Only down side of the epoxy is the cure time. Takes waaaaaaaay to long, but the bond it produces is worth it IMO.

Looking at the brush my first thought was a Boutique line of Baby Rattles......Big Money! Don't even have to change your Avatar name: HARRYWALLY'S RIPPIN RATTLES.....SHAKE IT BABY!
