Brush Repair: Ferrule Pinch

A quick fix for those loose ferrule collars on scrolls...

I usually throw some tape around handle to quick fix when it falls apart on the job...

the mineral spirits can get under the tape a be messy...

Grab some standard wire crimpers and gently squash the ferrule where the original pinch is...

DONT over pinch, you'll chop the wood up. Sometimes I also add a drop of super glue.

Making Progress

With May finally here, I have a sturdy list or projects to complete for the end of the month and start making room for Born Free stuff. I spoke with a few buddies about the BF5 show to get some ideas for there booths. So far, I have a few A-frames to build and a couple t-shirt ideas. Although it seems like a lot, I am looking forward to seeing these ideas come to life. At the BF show, I might even bring live screen printing to the booth. Whichever I conceive, Im making progress to make it happen.

Tshirts Available

Suenos Pobres

Tank and fender set. Dreamer, Cantineros. Silver flake base. Lime gold candy. Harley black hideaway... All I can say, had no idea where this paint was going. There was a tank I saw a few years back painted by an ol'timer in Hemet. Since then, its been haunting me. Finally, the product of an inspired by paint scheme takes form. Stoked on it, yes. This paint collaboration made itself... Its cool as hell, yet the are some issues that could have taken care of, but it wouldnt have been the same end result. I just hope I get more finished work that take this form.
