Thread: Razorock reknot

I becha Rezdog has one on the way!
It does seem they are scarce right now.
They have some resin ones I bet a Forstner bit will work on.

In retrospect, if a 22-23mm drill bit was run into the bottom to accommodate a 22mm plug and adhesive, the rest of the ID would be perfect. Doing that would be a simple operation instead of oversizing it all for a 24mm. Perhaps. Still might not be deep enough.
It seems you don't just simply reknot some factory-made brushes.
They are not all like custom handles.

Think I should stamp a '5' on the barrell?

Looks to be sitting just about right in my opinion. Nice job Tom, and thanks for sharing the pics.

Yeah...That's about where it's going to wind-up.
Ought to goop it up right now!

Quite the nice vintage metal lathe to boot Tom.

Yeah...Old South Bend. Runs on an accessory v-belt/leather belt drive.
Was likely run from the ceiling at some point. Old!

So I brought my HarryWally brush with the same knot in it to the shop.
I like where I set it, so will do same on this one.



Lots use epoxy, but I like to use Goop. No mixing or mess, a glob down in the handle and another on top of the plug. Shove it in and get it how I like it.
Hung-up to cure for a few days.



Fin!

Sweeeeet!

Do you do anything to scuff/roughen the metal to make it bond better or is that unnecessary?

Never have. None have loosened so far..

What is this Goop? I hate 2 part epoxys. Messy!

Goop! Been around for at least a couple decades.
We used to put it on our shoes for skate boarding.

Never thought about it for a knot glue, but I'll bet it works great!

Edit: it dries into a rubber material.
