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.
