Inspired by a few forum posts I've seen recently, I applied my mediocre CAD abilities to design a brush handle that I'm having 3d printed. For this initial test, I went with a simple, smaller Chubby-inspired handle to accommodate a 22mm knot. I found a local printer that was able to print it in Bamboofill (20% bamboo, 80% PLA plastic), which can be sanded and stained like wood. Pictures to come after I pick it up tomorrow, but I'm leaning toward a satin polyurethane finish and a WD high mountain badger knot. If this test run goes well, this intersection of hobbies could pose a serious threat to the bank account.
Waiting on two Fitjar shaving brushes - #2233 Super Badger on left, #2190 Pure Badger with travel tube on right
I've got a stand, brush, & bowl on the way. Nothing fancy, but it'll at least keep my kit organized better.
I'm just waiting on the secret santa update....and vintage rubberset (49-3) brush 26mm ubersoft knot DOC Switchback AOS silvertip brush with stand ($5) should be a good week..:mail:
I have just a few brushes and an old spice mug so I guess I'm good. ''A few'' means a boar, a badger, 4 synthetics and a @Jayaruh brush in 2 weeks when I make it downstate enough to make a trade.
I was waiting earlier. . And my soaps arrived today. TSD soap samplers in their new homes. Ikea magnrtic canisters and a magnetic plate mounted inside a cabinet door in the bathroom
