A couple that finished up yesterday...
On Left: MadeRite handle, 18mm knot - 36-38mm loft - TGN GradeA Silvertip (the hole opening is closer to 19mm)
On Right: Fuller handle, 20mm knot - 47-48mm loft - TGN Finest Extra Stuffed (the hole opening is closer to 21.5mm)
EDIT: FYI - both knots set with Silicone sealant/adhesive, to provide heft to the handles (especially the paper light black MadeRite, feels good now). Both came to me in very good condition, so only removal of the old knot and a little cleaning was done. The Fuller is spoken for.
I'll get a post-bloom pic of the little MadeRite later today or tomorrow.

Pozz, I am interested in trying the silicone that you use to fill/glue the handles.
What exactly is the product that you use ?
thanks

I don't remember the brand name, but it is a "3-hour Shower Ready" silicone sealant adhesive. I use a caulking gun, because that is what I had left over from my basement shower, but you could also get the smaller tube that you squeeze with your hand.
I can look when I get home if you REALLY want to know.
Nah, that's ok. It's what I expected, not something special.

Remember the Old Spice brush from above? Well the UK boar from the TGN turned out to be a shedder, and since I can't get that replacement (and my brother wanted a silvertip after he borrowed one of mine) I took it out and replaced it and here it is:
i like the blue it turned into a sweet brush,i just did a tiwan roc that looks similar and it dismantled in the same manner;the collar was hollow all the way

If there was ever a need for a set of calipers...
you could mount it between centers, but ideally, you would get a chuck like this one http://www.amazon.com/PSI-CSC2000C-...CC62/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1307573492&sr=8-2
you can get a decent set of starter lathe tools from harbor freight. i have had that set of tools for many years now and still get good use out of them.
find a rockler or woodcraft or something similar for sanding sealer, waxes, or whatever else you want.
