Thread: Simple Brush Holder

Now that I own a SEMOQUE Brush, I made a holder for it. Get a hanging hook from any box store or Wal Mart and re- bend a large hook in it using a socket or something the same diameter as the brush handle for a bending mandrel. (The upper hook is a "before" stock hook). I just pinched the hook in a vise along with a socket from my toolbox and hammered out the radius and finished the job with a pair of pliers. I hang my brush bristle down from the bottom of the medicine cabinet in my bathroom. If you choose, you can just screw the hook into a vertical surface without the extra 90degree bend. It works and looks neat underneath the cabinet. Tip: when screwing something into wood, first scrape the threads on your shaving soap. It makes for less friction in the pilot hole. Robert

Robert,
thanks cause now you gave me an idea to make my brush and razor stand I cant go down to the store right yet but i just might have the materials in my shop to makes something. And to think all these months i have never even thought about it before. Thanks again

muchfun, A de-fluxed welding rod will do if you can find a thread die or a nut that can cut some threads on the end of the rod. Then file or grind that threaded portion to a taper and bend to size and screw it into something. You might just use a file to cut the threads. Something to auger into the wood is all you need. Good luck and get back to CONUS safely! Robert

Actually I was thinking of making a free standing one dont know why i didnt think of it before DOH! I have a bunch of brass and some stainless rod laying all around over herein Dia. of 1/8 inch to 3/8s of an inch and just about all of them in between.
Guess i have been so wrapped up in work and all and going out on missions and just never thought of it until you said something. And being now that I will be coming home they wont let me go out on missions anymore this will be a fine time to try and make one andplus it wil keep me occupied and my mind off of finally coming home.
