First restoration project

Success!!!




Now comes the hardest part of the project...the waiting for the epoxy to cure.

 

:wave: :wave:

it's worth the wait.

Enjoy.

 

Excellent work!

 

Great looking brush! May it serve you well for many shaves to come.

 

ME LIKEY!.

 

Thanks guys.
Doing it was more fun than I had anticipated and I am very pleased with the results.

 

I know, right? I've done 5 now and it is just as fun as the first time. Got 4 more in queue :0

Great resto dude!

 

Good work on the brush and the thread

 

Very nice. Makes me want to find a handle to restore too.

 

Thanks for the thread. This gives me confidence to do my own restore.

 

Very nice work ! Can you appreciate how much time did it take ?

 

I would estimate 3 hours total labor. Although that does include a fair amount of just puttering around

 

What did you end up securing it with? Anything special or just a general epoxy? Also pardon my n00bness what is TGN and a two nickel shelf?

 

I used Devcon 2 Ton Clear Epoxy. Probably a little overkill on this project but I had some left over from another project.
TGN is The Golden NIB a great source for knots.
I used two nickels to build a shelf and add a little weight and balance.
