If any one has any insight please offer.

I'm going to try the CA but need to learn how to work it first.

Always looking for an easier & quicker & less expensive method.

Thanks so much for this! I really appreciate this kind of process detail.. sometimes when Im reading a how to, it seems as though the writer is assuming that the reader knows all of the subtleties that have been skipped, even though I often know, or put it together in my mind, sometimes Ive got what seems to be a dumb question, but was just a little thing easily overlooked..


I had no thoughts that you were a seller, just a skilled and enthusiastic restorer.. but this gives me a little reminder to make sure I detail my process.

Still do not understand this thread,If I make another brush (which I most likly never will).will this be considered something for sale?

Might be much ado about not much, Bill. Not much.

Dang straight it will,,, cause I'm going to buy it or send Medellín in to get it !! (reference to the movie "Sicario", Medellin is the hit-man)
Great movie.

Never say never sir!

Your brushes were some of the ones I learned from Bill. Hope your health is improving this fall to allow you to do some of the things you enjoy.

If you make A brush that's not a problem. If you post 6 brushes you just made that may be. If you say these are brushes I've made over the last few years that would probably be OK. If you post a number of brushes and a couple months later post several more and a couple months later several more that is definitely a problem. If you post a brush and staff sees it for sale somewhere that might be a problem too.

Getting the idea?

Yes

This is a solution for a potential problem my thread and actions have opened up. My request to show your stuff here, my mass photo dumps here. I sold 'A' brush I didn't like anymore at a meet and talked about was there a potential market for restored old brushes after mine was received so well.

Ok have we cleared the air now? and can I have my thread back please.

..

I know you got brushes hidden in there !!!

,,,,over here,, I got brushes,,,,

Here's one of mine - made for me by HarryWally - who was also kind enough to send a block from the same batch for some scales.
