    Default Making my own brush.

    Guys, I'm thinking about making my own knots. But the question is where do you get all the things needed to do that like quality hair(Only interested in Pure & Best Badger) and the tools necessary to put it all together. Chime in if you know.

    Are you asking how to assemble your own knots from loose hair? Seems like a pain in the butt when you can buy premade knots so cheaply.
    Just call me Chris.

    Probably got the wrong idea from another post but where would I find premade knots 30mm and up in Pure or Best Badger?

    I don't think TGN has 30mm in pure or best, only silvertip.
