Thread: Segmented shaving brush handle.

Andrew, what was that stuff you had in the bottle at 20 minutes, glue of some type?
What was in the spray can?
Does that stuff dry that fast or did you stop the video for it to dry?

A product I can get locally called Mitre bond. Carpenters use it to, well, bond mitres in trim work. All it is, is a thick CA and a spray activator. In the vid, I really should have sprayed the walnut before I put it in the handle, but I got moving too fast. I did however stop to let it cure for a couple hours, but even still there was a bit that was uncured. That's why you see me hit it again with the spray activator.

When we use it on casing or baseboard joints at work, one side of the joint gets glue, the other side gets the activator. You bring them together and within 3-4 seconds it bonds and wont let go.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've glued my fingers to me work. The thin, water like CA can actually burn you.

That was an awesome video. Thanks for putting that together, I enjoyed that a lot!

Brilliant work. I could watch wood turning for hours.

Me too Shaun. Really nice project with results to be proud of Andrew!
Fun to watch.

That was a very nicely done video!! A pleasure to watch! Excellent job editing. Thank you.

Just like the pencil brush you did, different but looks great, congrats on the job well done, and the vid looks good also, cant say I have tried the editing softwear so I can not offer any other options.

Finally got a chance to watch the vid. Amazing work!!!

You sir are a talented man with mad skills

Thanks for posting this and it didn't suck

Those segmented bowls have always intrigued me Andrew, your brush is a great example of the time required to build one. But such a great result, and terrific way to use small pieces of wood otherwise doomed for the wedge pile.
Think the new taig will be wired up with a reverse option since I'm using a DC motor and vfd on it.

That's was another very interesting start to finish video to watch.
The segmentation and the brush size itself are both outstanding.
Another fine outcome.
