DIY brush storage

[oldskool76]

Mods if wrong place please fix it for me I tried to find similar thread.



I decided I needed a simple yet nice place to store my brush, and current razor of choice. pics will follow but basic idea is a nice looking scrap of cedar took a round over bit and routed the corners. Then I drilled out a a notch for the brush handle and 2 holes for razor. I will be using a satin polyurethane. I did include a spot for my soap mug.

Still not finished the weather did not cooperate. I need to wait until the weather is drier in South Carolina. The polyurethane doesn't look like it did well because of the rain. Forgot my Fathers shop isn't heated, when I went out to polyurethane it. Using Cedar, went with 3 inch wide piece of scrap, drilled holes for my Double Edge Fat Boy, and whatever I get next, Then I used a forstner bit and a coping saw to notch for the brush handle. the cedar was picked for the grain and knots in it out of the scrap bin.

It looks pretty good. It should look great in the bathroom when you are done and the stand is full.

I am happy I would have done things a little different, but I will have to use this for a while and see how I want to change it. But the cedar looks nice and will look good with the simpson brush I have coming. The brush I have here is one I bought here 15 years ago, it has started to shed so I want to make sure I treat it well until I am ready to try to reknot it

Beautiful. A friend of mine uses cedar and juniper to make bowls. The coloration is beautiful.

Thank you guys, will have some more projects that I will be doing. Thinking about a valet box, just trying to decide on the size and woods to use for it. Then what sort of corners, choices to be made any ideas are welcome.

I think I stole some ideas here for this. I took 3 pieces of 3/4 oak scrap and glued together and then cut with a band saw. I will probably make a 2.0 version. I might make it higher and add a horizontal grove on top lay razor flat.

Very nice! Well done my friend. I love the choice of stain on that oak.
