Brush Rack

[rattripp]

Needed to better use the space in my small medicine cabinet. Here's a solution that didn't break the bank and can easily be removed if something better comes along. Some 12 gauge "romex", some shrink tubing, and a pair of needle nose pliers was all that is needed. I drilled into the back of the shelf with a #47 bit and inserted the end of the wire.
Left to right: Omega 80257 boar, Ever-Ready 200 re-knotted with TGN Finest Badger Fan XH, Century Lucite re-knotted with TGN Best Badger, Ever-Ready 100T re-knotted with TGN Finest Badger XH, and a Ever-Ready 275 re-knotted the a TGN Silvertip Badger. Hard to choose a favorite.

The wire kind of looked like this after bending.

Brilliant! I was looking for a way to display brushes and have an expansion option for new acquisitions.

Nice rack! Oh wait, that sounds weird :-D

I need to do something like this in my medicine cabinet! Great idea. I live in an apartment with a pretty small bathroom and I don't like to have a lot of stuff on the counter. My cabinet is already full and I have no more space for anything.

Very industrious. Nice job!

What's shrink tubing and how did you use it?

 

[rattripp]

Shrink tubing is an electrical product that acts as an insulator. The tubing slides over the wire and heat is applied to shrink it to the wire. It covers the copper wire where the brush sits.

Gotcha. Thanks.

What a brilliantly simple idea. Great was to hang and diplay.

Looks good. I suppose as an alternative, you could also slip an additional shelf in there too.
