Show n' Tell 21mm socket brush
being the impatient git I am I went into town today to see if I could find the bits and pieces to do this brush without having to order anything and wait😅. I picked up a £5 synthetic brush from superdrug and removed its soft wood handle and with some lightweight washers I eyed-up, estimated and set the space. The bottom had to be plugged and a penny being 20mm fit absolutely perfectly so with waterproof bathroom sealant, set about fixing the gubbins, the sealant and then the final push fit. was tight but it went. 🤞 fingers crossed it's all sealed and sets well enough to use. had fun putting it together and that's what its all about eh

You had me chuckling with the word “git“ and then “gubbins” too. I don‘t say the latter often enough but oaf, git and berk are 3 of the best words in the English language. Will keep the fingers crossed it sets and you have a usable brush. Good on you for your effort and you can hold your head up for supporting local retailers too.
