    Regarding the forstner bits - when I make brushes, I use an undersized bit for the bore and then turn it to size with a tool for working inside the bore. That ensures a perfect fit for every knot, as they vary in size.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    After looking at these knots on the site I had a couple questions about the sizes. Are 22, 24, 26mm, etc the diameters of the base of the knot? Are 60, 65mm, etc the height/lengths of the bristles?

    Thanks to all who helped with this. I finally got one of these turned, and put together. Here's a link to the finished product.
