My Brush Repairs, Restorations & Builds

I can see why @jaxstraww is so pleased, Keith. I admire all of them, but, yeah, that Gimbels is now one classy looking brush!

 

Thank you Gary.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they were manufactured at the same plant.

 

Thank you Chris.

 

hello Keith @Enrico ..here is the simms..the hair is soft just bent..i may try to bring it back..no breakage..

 

Nice looking brush!

 

thank you..kind of rare?

 

First I've seen.

 

what would you do with it?

 

Probably a nice badger knot or a Cashmere synthetic ..... depends on its current knot measurement.

 

very cool.will keep you posted..

 

Farewell Omega 10005. We will always remember your sacrifice!

I've discovered a great way to remove the knots from Omega brushes ..... drill a 1/4 hole through the center of the bottom of the handle then insert a philips screwdriver then hammer down the assembly on a hard surface a couple times and the knot pops out.

 

very cool.for the 10098 brushes i tape the bottom of the knot close to the undle.,the metal ring pops of with a twist with channel locks,the handle bottom gets popped off(2 piece) then i use a jewellers saw on and diagonally cut a line where the metal ring goes.it pops apart like an old bearing shell and isn't glued in.omegas are the best knot donors..

 

That's great information. I'll try that next time.

thank you Keith @Enrico ..fabulous restoration..

 

Beautiful!!!

 

Well I put the brush to the side due to the finish getting ugly after setting the knot. Well that was over three years ago ..... after finding it in a cigar box last week, I decided to finish it and add it to the Magical Traveling Box Mystery Tour 2021



And as always ......

More to come!

 

It looks great! Great work!
