    Sometimes I like to make brushes that are not worth the money, but in the end, I'm glad I did .......

    About fourteen months ago I saw this on Mercari .........

    It was listed as a Fisher Price scrub brush. I hemmed and hawed, but finally broke down and bought it for less than $10 shipped. I know a toy ..... really?

    Well I recently removed the cloth knot bored it out and weighted with BBs and epoxy. I found a second hand $50 oumo brush for less than $20 and stole the knot.

    The end result is a nice hefty brush that lathers very well ........ and best of all it's a butterscotch!

    And as always ....... more to come!

    :D

    Thank you ..... I'm a mix and match sort of guy. Whether it's wood working, bike building, or brush building ..... I build what I like.
