It's a slant but thanks for the supposed bad news
It's the angle you're seeing it....

This morning I woke up to crapy weather, and this gave me an unplanned day in the workshop.
When I see a Rubberset 400 on Ebay, I keep low-ball sniping at them, with the intention of putting different knots into them. I've hit two of them for under $30 each.
The knots on those things never seem to wear out so I now have three handles with knots that I decided not to trash. The next best thing was to make new ferrules - nice little project for a rainy day.
The knots were ordered from Oumo a few weeks ago.
From left to right (I've kept them all 24mm)
Manchurian Fan, Badger Boar Mix, Tux Synthetic and Unbleached Boar (Two original ferrules in between)
I can't get the different colored O-Rings locally so I decided to machine a groove and paint fill it.
BTW - The third handle still needs polishing.

Great looking brushes! One of these days I will have one of those Rubbersets.

Thanks Dave!
It’s a 1960 model. Anyone know why some have a red spring and some are black?

Noice!
Gonna try my hand at coffee roasting.

Haven't seen that roaster. Be sure to let us know how it goes!
