Steve from Pen Artistry moved into town awhile back, he glues up some really nice segmented pen blanks, so he stopped by the shop with a few large blanks I could turn into shaving brushes. The large...
Here are a few different shaving brushes which combine alt ivory, PR, & wood. Some cocobolo, black palm & rosewood burl. Thanks for looking and you opinions. :)
I wear a tight left hand leather glove only, been wearing it so long, it feels akward to turn without it.
+1 for Cindy's videos
I can't make it, but say hi to my buddy Don Ward if you go for me :) I think he may be doing a demo, not sure.
Kudos Jason !!! :) Beautiful Bowls, well deserved recognition :cool:
Come on Mike, it was only 113 today, couldn't have been over 120 in your shop :D
Nice brush there Randy, That UK Super is a sweet knot.
I betcha my stack of kindling is bigger than yours! :eek:
Hi Joe, Here is a tutorial on how I make them,

but basically, turn them like a bottle stopper. I use 5 to 20 minute epoxy to...
I got on a kick to make some Tru Stone shaving brushes, they just kept popping off my lathe :D Here is a picture of some. (yes there are more) Made from various Tru Stone with Finest badger hair and...
You bet Jim, everyday :) I started using a brush 4 years ago and love it. Went back to a DE razor as well. I rather use acrylics for brushes, as I not a big fan of mixing wood, water and soap, but...
I used a straight CA finish, and yes to The Golden Nib since that is I :cool:
I picked up some really nice rosewood burl from Gary Max. Really nice stuff. Made a few shaving brushes and razors from it. Thanks for looking.:)
Burt, not to change your thinking on the subject, but you might look into a stoneware class in your neighborhood. I threw clay for about 5 years and really enjoyed it till I hit the burnout stage and...
Great job Gary. You need to raise your price so you have more of an incentive to make them! I'm to old to be lifting stuff like that :D Besides, I would have to put an extension on my shop if my bed...
Thanks Don, finally getting some time to make the rounds. I must confess....I went to the laser forum first :eek:
Well Dewey, not exactly....although I have done that in the past. I've been making shaving brushes for the past three years and finally found a source for the heads, both Mach 3 style and safety, so...
Finally got around to making some Mach 3 handles to go with my shaving brushes. Thanks for looking and any comments. :)
I would honor your original price.
Thanks all for the help, it seemed to be a sequencing error.
I needed to set my center first-then go through the print screen,
then go to the job. I thought I was doing it every which way to make...
Absolutely. I have the friggin manual out and going step by step on setting the new home position.
I thought about the stray graphic as well. I went and opened a new page.
The only thing I was...
Okay, when I hit stop and then reset after I see it wondered off again to some other place than my center. The laser head returns to home where I originally had it centered to begin with.

Thanks, I new the cancel job was easy fix, just could not find it anywhere in the book.
I have the postion error gone, but I still can not get it centered. After I postition the new home, When I...
I have been lurking at the laser thread for awhile. My Epilog MIni 24 came in last Friday. Not sure how it made it to my door step since the mailing lable on the box had someone elses name on it in...
Sweet looking brush Don, great job. :)
