Brushmakers Thread - Calling all Turners

Andrew that would work. Just have to create some kind of jig to hold and index the handle.

 

You and me, both. Dad has a house on one acre, another house he owns a block away, and an acre and a half of citrus orchard. Common spring time problem here - it rains and soaks the soil so we can't mow. Then we get three or four days of sunshine that makes the grass grow and almost dries the ground. Just in time for the next toad floater. I'll put on boots, pick us dead fall branches, and think about owning a lathe.

 

Sounds like you have your hand full as well. I do have a son that is a big help and I am very thankfull for that.

 

Nice work Danny ! You should try some Cherry
I will have some pictures for you shortly
What chisels are you using ?

 

A nice round wood file works great for the flutes

 

Brush number two was a cherry turning. On the right in the bottom picture.

 

awesome sir, i like the shape..when do pre orders start

 

Thanks Gary.......let me get a few more under my belt and I'll keep you in mind for PIF.

 

Danny could you post a pic of the handles with a Razor next to them ? (for size)

 

all good Danny, i am glad you are enjoying yourself..nice work..

 

See if this helps. 22mm knots. LH brush is a Razorock 400.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

very nice sir, the persian jar on the right is cool..you are well on your way..

 

Thanks Danny I think you are going to have lots of fun

 

Thanks, I am enjoying it a lot. Take care!

 

Persian Jar- I didn't know that shape had a name. I learned something new!

 

I as well. I showed to my wife last night and she said it looks like a urn. You have got to love your better half.

 

based on what simpson calls their brush of similar shape..

 

Nicely done.
