I used a dremel tool and I kept opening the hole until the ring gave away and came out in one piece.
i made that mistale with my 100-T. I drilled to far and i ended up on the other end. I hope that some silicone will patch that up and work right after i put the knot in it.
Mrglock10mm, How's the restoration coming along?
I was able to find 600,1200 and 2000 grit at Lowes. The wet sanding went very well imo, i was able to remove some of the hue i was talking about, but there is still some around the middle (it's faded though). Overall i am happy with it, now i just have to find a way to seal the hole i made and pick a knot.

It going well however my plan has changed. My father just gave me his Ever Ready 100 that is also black and white. I decided to put my new knot in the one that was my fathers first.
I have removed the shelf and filled it in with epoxy and bb's. I am waiting for that to dry and then I will put my knot in.
Sorry to derail the project, I was really excited to get my fathers brush.

I just got to set the knot. Now I am waiting for the epoxy to dry. I can't wait to try it once it cures. Man this is addicting!

Here is my first shave using my restored brush. I love how this brush feels and the size of the knot. I also like the extra weight that the bb's added. I face lather and this setup works great. How's your restore coming MrLara?
That looks great.
The black and white hairs on the knot go very well with the handle colors.
I am done sanding the handle down, i'm gonna go get some paint for the letters later today. I started with a 400, then i wet sanded with a 600, 1200 and finished with a 2000. I haven't polished it up, since i still have to paint the lettering.
putting the pics in spoilers since they are large images.

Wow that's looking good! Please keep us updated.
Question for you guys, when i was removing the old knot on this ever ready. i got to trigger happy with the drill while trying to remove the last part of the old knot. And i accidentally drilled a hole straight through the middle of the handle that ended up on the bottom of it.
so my question is this. When i set the knot with the epoxy and stuff, will it be sealed enough that i don't have to worry about it? or should i fill in the hole with silicone (or something) let it dry and then set the knot?

No glue in it yet, but i had to see how the knot was gonna look.
Last pics from me on this (i promise)
the lettering:
most go with the gold, but keeping the black/white theme. I chose white lettering.

MrLara- that's looking good. I've gotten to use mine several times and I love it!
Smoothcrimnl- post some pictures of your brush when you have finished it.

I used the 30 min 2 part Epoxy. So far the knot has stayed in.
