making a brush handle

I have always gone down 2 mm from the size of the hole. This is to allow for expansion.

 

Perfect. I will go that route then. 22mm it is. I plan on getting a Boar,, synthetic and a 2 band badger.

They all sound good to me Tom.

 

Thinking of having 52 to 54 mm of brush extending out to start.

Nice looking handle Tom! I'll go back to see if you already mentioned. How much does it weigh?

A blend of old and new!

 

I have not weighed it. I will tonight.
Thanks for the drawing of the 400. I will need to draw that up.

The 22mm will be a perfect fit for that hole, Tom. Also, I suggest setting it with silicone. It makes changing much easier if you ever want to change.

 

Thanks.

IMHO you may want to keep the Badger knots at a 50 mm loft. Let some others comment on this.

 

What is your opinion on loft for a Badger knot?

 

I set mine about 52 mm. It is great for face lathering.

 

I face lather too so I can start there. I will set them in silicone.

Wish setting with silicone.

 

Here is the weight without a knot 74 grams. Also with the insert in the back.
