New life for old brushes.

[Jayaruh]

I got this Made-Rite 12 on eBay. I have been wanting a green a brush for a while, and this fit the bill. It also gave me something I can practice a restore on.








Moving  to the outside to remove the knot and start the restore.


I cut the bristles off in preparation for removal of the knot.


Here I have removed the knot with my Dremel.



Using a buffer pad on my Dremel, I cleaned up the outside of the handle.



I had to make the opening a little bigger to accommodate this boar knot. Here it is finished.

Here is another.


And finished.

I was sent this Rubberset 200 to restore and reknot.



I removed the knot.


Cleaned up the ferrule.


Painted in the lettering.


Here it is all finished up.

I was sent this Ever-Ready 100 for a restore.


I removed the old knot, cleaned it, and got it ready for a knot.


I repainted the lettering with gold paint and set the new knot.


Finished photo.

Here is a Heldtite brush I found and restored.

Here is the finished brush. I will be using it next week.

Nice! I find that handle shape to be really nice to use.
