So I walk away from my computer but found myself thinking back to the scope brush. What did you put in it to give it weight? That's just the scope lens, a little bit of aluminium. The knot would weigh more than the handle.
Nothing yet. I actually took the lenses out. Those are so. E nice magnifying lenses in there. I will use them for something. I'm planning on making an acrylic piece to fill most of the void. I'll use some silicone to seal it up too and probably build up a shelf with silicone for the knot depth. I did that on a hollow vintage brush handle and it worked very well.
The credit for the wonderful copper fitting handle goes to Fluffy. I would like to eventually get one more from him as I really like the design of another I've seen him make. A really cool feature is a good strong magnet in the base to ha g it upside down from a bit of metal. I will make a stand for that eventually also.
