My restorations!

[M_bisco]

Hey guys,

I figured i would start this thread with all my restore projects.

I've posted a few pics before in another thread but i will continue to post all new restores here.

Here is my latest brush! I had to open up the hole because i wanted to fit a 26mm knot.... The thing is HUGE!!
I did an initial palm lathering and the knot bloomed sooo much and it's very soft.
Can't wait to give it a try!!

That looks awesome! Enjoy! It looks like you're really going to. What are the specs on the knot?

I learned the hard way that the ever ready brushes don't have much depth to the imprint.

Yup... I put the paint in before I sanded the brush to make sure I wouldn't make the lettering more shallow and I still wasn't able to get it perfect. Its kinda annoying... but I figure it gives it a more vintage look.

Here is my latest project.

It's an ever-ready 300 with lucite handle.

The lettering was really tough on this one... It was so shallow that i was barely able to get anything in there. In the end, the lettering actually turned out pretty cool and gave the brush an old school look.

I sanded the lucite from 320 up to 2500 and and then polished with Meguiars ultimate compound to shine her up!.
I got the idea from another thread to stick something in the handle so that it can be seen from the bottom and i decided to give it a try. At 1st it was really tough separating the handle in two (there's actually a thread about that). Once done i set the "button" with some epoxy and let it settle. Once cured i fit the knot (24mm TGN finest) and the brush was ready to got!

Hope you like it!

Very nice restorations. You also reminded me that I haven't used my C&E Sienna in a long while. Need to dig it out for tomorrow!

The Italy token is a nice touch, it really adds some class to the brush.

Great way to personalize the restoration! Better than the original!

Ya, it really brings the brush to another level.
I got the idea from another thread.
