Ideas on how to remove a knot from a brush sans drill.
Any way to remove a knot without a drill or a dremel? I can use some ideas.

Just grab it as close to the base as possible with a pair of pliers and twist.

Sharp wood chisels. But without breaking up the glue first with a drill, it is quite tough. Wear work gloves!

I've done it on at least half a dozen vintage brushes. It's worked every time.

+1 except I used a bench vise instead of pliers. Originally Posted by HNSB

There you go, then. The only knot I have removed to date had been glued in with JB Weld. Pliers did nothing. With a vintage, I guess it must be different.

Vulfix does an incredible job with their brushes as the epoxy is as hard as a rock. This is going to take forever.

I've never attempted it with a new brush. It definitely could be different. Originally Posted by jdto

Lay the handle flat on a piece of wood, and split it lengthwise with a chisel.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
