I am in the exact same boat as you ^ Mr Pseudo. Is it hard to make your own brushes?

Thanks for this thread. I've got a slew (if 5 counts as 'a slew') of vintage brushes to pick up from the PO tomorrow, and will probably have to restore at least 3 of them. Nice so see someone else having success as a newbie to the skill.

I would suggest that you start on a brush that you don't care for so much.
You're liable to scratch or chip it quite a bit until you get your technique down.
I found a Dremel tool to be invaluable.
That looks really nice!
Alright B&Bers.
On the first, second and fourth from the left, could you post the basic dimensions please?
Thank you.

Im just going off the top of my head but I wanna say the 2nd was originally 18 but it has a little lip and after I cleaned it out and everything I measure it to 20mm. the fourth I wanna say was 20 but I have not seen it for about a month. I think one of my cats stole it and hit it from me.
I am sorry, I was unclear. I have a lathe, and want to make a brush entirely. I am looking for the length and large and small diameters of the handle. The local antique finds have been thin by me. Those three brushes look like something I may find comfortable.
Thank you
Phil
