Thread: What are you working on?

ya Mike. Love this.

I recently got this brush and seeing the pictures of threaded handles I had at first thought this would be threaded.

But when I look at it closer it seems that the metal is rounded/burnished to hold it on.

Any thoughts on how I should go about taking this apart?

Maybe not take apart, just remove the knot, clean up, and replace the knot.
Maybe.! I've never seen one like that, just MHO

I think you are right. I was wondering if the threaded ones were also burnished....

Both those Simms I just posted were threaded, but I super glued them together. Although it's nice to be able to take them apart for restoring, I really don't want them to come apart.

That handle of yours looks really nice. If it were mine, I'd keep everything together, drill out that old knot, polish everything up and put a new knot in. I do suspect that the black part of the handle is painted wood though. Be careful with that.

Yes, It feels like it wants to unscrew 1/8 to 14 turn.

Holy Moly Tom, you got that car opened right up. That looks... like it's a heck of a way to spend the afternoon. Good luck with that!

Mike the scale will be a treat to see done. Judging by your past accomplishments in the wood and tru-oil department, gonna be spectacular! Hey... that wood look familiar

Eric I think this is the scales archive you are looking for http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...e-archive.html Very cool scales by the way!

Nice work on the brushes, those are going to be cool when complete. I like when old handles can be reused, makes them live again.
