Thread: Hi all!

Current hardware in use. Including 2 gold dollars who will be sold after my 3 F. Herders are finished restoring.

Nice. Looks like you have a fondness for synthetic brushes. The wife bought me one recently which was my first synth brush and I'll have to admit I like it pretty well. I'm normally a boar brush guy. Badger is a bit too soft for my liking but my son is exactly the opposite.

If your looking to get into deep restoration, there's some of the best info, found throughout "the workshop" thread.

Tools N tips abound here, for all aspects of restoration.
From making/restoring scales, pinning, making collars, sanding, buffing, hand tools, and some with limited space N tools. You name it....its probably there, and many guys to help you along, when questions come to mind.

In his modesty Mike leaves out that he is a master of restoration ESPECIALLY horn restoring.

Hi Paul, yes I think synthetic is the best! Animal friendly even softer then the best silvertip brushes. I’ve 1 boar for the really hard soaps. The rest is all synthetic.

Thanks mike, There is so much information on this forum that it’s really nice to get some tips where to look! Really warm welcome here on the forum as well!

Daan, welcome! Your skill is really impressive. Look forward to learning from you! Cheers.
