I went the other way a long time ago, i trimmed the handle, I'll get a pic tonight.

And KF check your PM

Trimmed the handle ... hmmm.


"Honey, have you seen the damned Skillsaw?"

That doesn't help if a goal is to have stiffer bristles.

Never had a problem getting bristles stiff, but I hear they sell a pill for that. And the goal was to make the thing the right length to fit well in the Honig's ball bag that has the 3 inside pockets, one is small for just a pen. had the same brush for over 12 years, and the bristles do just fine, even at full length they were never flimsy.

My bag was free!

I came in early from work today and thought I'd look for an indicator and lineup card folder that I couldn't locate as I transferred equipment from the old bag to the new bag.
I found the indicator and folder hidden in a side pocket... along with a check for $125 that I got last October for working a NAIA fall game!

I hope I don't have any problems cashing the check. Life is good!

Living in an area with moist springs, mud and caked dirt can be an issue. The stiffer the bristles the better.

I've trimmed my plate brushes for 30 years for that purposes alone. Never heard of trimming a plate brush just to make it shorter. Now I have.
