Thread: Brush shelf/holder

Those are great! Are they made for brooms?

thanks,
jeff

Yep! They come on a rail with 5 holders, I think. I cut the rails and drilled a few holes to make them shorter. Some adhesive-backed foam to go on the inside of the spring-loaded clamps. The clamps were a bit too strong to begin with, but bending them back to an extreme weakened them up a good bit. Lowes, hardware stores have them.

Thanks so much. I am still working out exactly what will work and how far I would like to go. Your solution is very cool. Oh, and your brushes are off the charts as well!

HAR!, well, that was a long while back, Jeff. All I had.....
It IS sortof redneck, in perspective....

The problem with constructing brush holders is each brush is different.
You need some adjustability in the thing in order to fit all.
Anyway,
NOW, I seem to have 8 more. Really-dried-out, they reside in a cabinet in ziplocks. I rotate them in and out of those holders.

A cheap solution. They come in nickel-plated as well. Some wall anchors for sheetrock, I suppose?

Very cool idea there sharptonn. I used a similar deal to hang my first brush in the medicine cabinet, same idea, just different material, less pressure on the handle but still holds it very firmly. A lot simpler than building a rack/shelf........

It would also help if you posted the picks of your brushes. In case you have a monster brush that's like 40mm x 130mm or something like that. Plus, you can't have too many pictures of brushes...

When I'm looking at this, would you like one spot to hang a brush upside down (say on the bottom shelf, in the mid front) and 4 shelves to have them standing up?

Yes, that is precisely what I am looking for. I will pm you dinnermint.

Here are a few pics of my restorations:

I just ordered a few of these clips for florescent bulbs, should be about the right size, coated to protect the handle and made of metal so I can bend them if needed. We'll see, I think they'll work...

T8=1 inch, T12= 1 1/2 inch, that should give you an idea, some of these clips are sturdy others are flimsy and may wear out quick.

I posted this previously but I thought it fit here too. This is called a "Jug Knot" it's adjustable and takes up very little room in a shave kit.
