True. Even when you make or restore your own brushes, SBAD is still a very cruel mistress. She always wants more!

Hiya,

Heh, I hope the Good Doctor sees the pics. He is somewhat attracted to these types of handles as you may know.

Now Martin, you wouldn't want to vex the poor Doctor do you ...

Truth be told, I am not adverse in trying to light his fuse if at all possible. He does that to us often enough, so I know he must like the returning of a favor. Quite a kick seeing him get into his short, but intense monkey oil salesman routine about something or other.

Well then carry on, carry on!
 
I found that both 26 and 24 mm knots fit the originals - I used TGN in mine.

He's done a good job but does this mean my originals are now down valued?:icon_rolleyes:

Hiya,

Very good looking results on those. Looks like they are gonna feel substantial when in use. Did you mention what the material was?

Oh well, just to say that I did not know nothing about this thread when I posted today the pics of my last restored Rubberset 400. I was aware of the intentions of our friend to make some brushes, but I was at vacation in Mallorca. Returned a couple days ago, and today I shot the pics of my brush that arrived when I was in France, and posted them. I have not used it yet.

I enjoy when other people enjoy! Enjoy your brush, my braveblades friend!

Looking great Andy just out of curiosity what's the diameter of the handle I'll have a look do you want rubber or fiber O'rings I'm thinking red would be a nice colour. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/390614511252?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0
