Someone needs to learn the difference between metric and Imperial systems.

You'd need to skin a bunch of badgers to fill that one. I'd have to start shaving my legs, my face just isn't big enough.

A 50 inch diameter brush would be a hell of a thing. Lol.

50mm brush still dear lord you would need a tub of soap with each lather.

Though it must be said... a 50" Bakelite brush would be a h* of a sight (but not worth the lives of all those badgers)

*edit* just read all the comments... looks like I was a little late to the party on this one - sorry for the unintentional plagiarism.

What a huge brush this must be...

50"? Wouldn't that be a badger on a stick?

Never mind the dimensions, how about the massive amount of upper body strength you'd need to properly and fully load a 50 inch brush!
Of course, now that I think of it, you'd also need a really good back and have two knees that are both real and not shot.

Might be more ergonomic to skin a badger and glue the hide around one of those large exercise balls.

Nah! Rub the puck on the brush, then faceplant into it.

Sure, they could use the same jib crane needed to place the billet in the lathe to machine it.
