Magnetic Brush Holders

[superspot]

Have you ever tried to find a good stand for a Chubby #3 ? You don't have much of a selection and they get expensive. I got to thinking how I can hang it up and not spend a whole lot. I went to the local lumber yard and got 2 fender washers at $ 0.43 ea. Ordered 2, 1 1/8" flat neo magnets, I had some 2 part epoxy. I glued the fender washers under the shelf where I keep some of my shave stuff and put a screw in each hole while it dried over night. I glued a magnet on the top of my brushes and let them dry overnight. Next day, I took the screws out of the washers and stuck the brushes to the washers.

Total cost was about $7.00 and I have room for more washers and brushes. And yes, ya'll can use my idea.

I've done exactly the same thing. And gee I thought I was a genius. Not so I'm afraid. LOL
Good to see someone thinks alike. My Omega brush is recessed on the bottom so the magnet sits flush.

That IS genius . Looking forward to seeing one of those massive brush collections you occasionally see, all hanging by magnets .

Just had a thought. If my ex wife could see how tidy I am she may not have wanted a divorce. But then I prefer putting my money into RAD than her. Does that mean I'm a sicko. That's a rhetorical question. LOL.

Been there Done that : )
Not a sicko in the least !

Really interested in doing this as well. Couple of questions for those who have already done this:

1. What magnets make the most sense in terms of rust? I read somewhere that neo magnets could rust?

2. Have folks experimented around with drilling a small magnet into the bottom of the brush?

3. Is the washer the best thing to mount on the bottom of a shelf?

Here's a picture of my set up for reference. Right now I use small hooks to hold my brushes, but always looking for a new way to improve!

Bump! Perhaps this should be moved to the brush forum?

I have been thinking of doing the same thing, thought I was brilliant. Any reasons for magnet choices?

Nice idea but will it ruin your brushes? What if you want to remove the washers does it damage the brush handle? Just asking because I am extremely "particular" not the word my wife would use. Haha
