dubl duck #4 Reknot

This dubl duck #4 brush is coming to me for a reknot. Today, I received the donor brush, Omega 10049. I have harvested the knot and prepped for the reknot.

The donor brush arrived today: Omega 10049.

I am getting good at removing the knot by hand.

I sawed down opposite sides of the ferrule to loosen it from the knot.

I pried the  ferrule apart to remove it from the plug.

Next, I covered the hairs to protect them and then used my dremmel to prep the plug.

Here is the knot ready for its new home.

Update: September 30, 2020

The brush arrived today along with two soaps. Cool.

Getting ready for a hair cut.

All the hairs gone.

I worked hard to make a hole for the knot. Here is the Omega 48 dry fitted.

The ferrule separated from the handle during the process, but I ultimately superglued it back.

Here is the prepared hole.

I polished the handle and painted the letters.

Other side.

I set the knot with hot glue.
