Many will remember my "Machinist Brush" trials and all the help you gave me
with testing and feedback. I just got word that it was included in a big,
German/US brush company's new catalog to come out in a few months. They
forecast 20k units per year to start. They LOVED the applications and
write-ups that you guys and gals did for me. My very favorite response was
from an Aluminum caster that used the brush to sweep molten Aluminum off the
sprue holes on a mold. The employees had been using a plastic broom. They
tried the Machinist brush and the employees said: "This Good, No Fire." (I
have to dig-out the whole story, it was great!) A lot of them were good and
showed truly innovative uses; stuff I NEVER would have thought of. Thanks
again, I owe you all a beer.

Now that I've cracked the nut, there are two other huge brush companies that
will most likely catalog them.

(Gunner, I WILL make some from fiber for you this year, I promise!)

Yeah, if the responders don't mind, I'd love to see them.

That's excellent news, Tom. Congrats on the big contract +2!
Now the question is: "Can you handle the volume?"

Hurry, two thirds of it are already gone!

I can make about 2,500 per person/per shift. One person will assemble for 6
hours then two hits on a press for 2 hours then packing and labeling takes
another two man-hours. They are slightly slower than the short version that
we have made for over 40 years. Still not enough volume to change the
process. I'm sure we could automate it and then run it for three hours a
week. Bigger fish to fry...

where to find these brushes?

imagine 3" longer wire, or imagine an updated webpage.

And while you (or Hi-Tech) are updating that page, you need to
Un-Spell-Check the 80015 pot brush - it might give you an extra "Round
Tuit" chit to get that done this week... (May 2000?!?)

You wanted 'Palmyra' and somewhere along the line a "Spell Mangle"
program insisted that 'Paltry' was the proper word. Which it aint.

Way!! Cool.

If you look closely at the pictures on my web site..you will indeed
note your brushes hanging from the various lathes/mills G

They do indeed get used regularly.

Would you post a list of retail outlets that sell these brushes? Preferably
an online retailer

Thanks,
