Popular Post Isaac Posted December 21, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 For no particular reason, after 20+ years of shaving successfully with regular shaving cream, I decided I should try a brush and some fancy Italian shaving product. As a result, I wound up with one of those cool little beaver hair brushes and a problem of how to store it. I looked around a bit but wasn't really happy with the designs for holders I found. They were functional, but not beautiful (at least not to me). I wanted to emphasize the curves and roundness of the brush and handle and came up with my own design. Start with a good sized piece of walnut. Some quality planing. And presto, a small cube, consisting of 3 layers of 1/2" red oak plywood with a top veneer of about 1/4" thickness walnut on each side.....No I didn't actually start with that huge board... just a gag! Next, layout the brush for a dimension Drill with a hole saw (only thing I have in this diameter range), bandsaw, rasp and sand a bit test fit. Finish with 4 coats of Old Masters Gel Urethane. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Very cool project Isaac. I have to ask, what is the slot on the left side of your table saw top for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask, what is the slot on the left side of your table saw top for? This is the table saw I have, I guess it is really just a handle. The side to the right of the blade actually extends outward, allowing for wider cuts. For my situation, I've been very happy with this saw. Obviously I can't cut huge panels on it, and if I try to cut through thick stock of hard maple it will get bogged down, but for normal stuff it works quite well. I particularly like that both the depth adjustment and blade angle adjust are geared, so they don't require any strength and minimal turning to fully move the blade.

But most people use that slot to lift their jobsite table saws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thats a cute little project, Isaac. Will you be mounting it to the wall by the little hole in the back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be mounting it to the wall by the little hole in the back? It could be used for that, though It was actually just a by-product of the pilot hole from the hole saw. I debated filling it,but didn't have any dowel that would fit it off hand, and in the end, I think I like it, since it indicates the method of construction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
