Where a brush maker can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a brush maker already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Brush makers insert different types of material such as horsehair, vegetable fiber, nylon, and hog bristle into metal tubes called ferrules. They insert a wooden or aluminium plug into the bristles to form the brush head and attach the handle to the other side of the ferrule. They immerse the brush head in a protective substance to maintain their shape, finish and inspect the final product.
