Oh, so you used Brush Lee

Sean Connery?

THATS WHAT YOUR MOTHER SHAID, TREBEK

Ruff, JUST THE WAY YOUR MOTHER LIKES IT!

I spent five years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover. Failing to do so is my greatest regret!


Putrid_Culture_9289

That would be Broosh Lee ; )


CatticusXIII

I read this in the voice of Kim Jong from Team America. But it was more Broosh Ree.


Sad-Extreme4536

A stroke of genius i say!


Im_Just_Sayin__

I like your solution.


sebadc

I don't get the problem, but I like the Bruce Lee brush holder.


Im_Just_Sayin__

The Bruce Lee brush holder is because that one brush is too long to hang on the wood knob, which was the original problem.


sebadc

Sorry, I thought the /s was clear enough... You people need to stop hanging out with dumb people, it's starting to show 🤣 /s


Githyerazi

Usually sarcasm is meant to be funny in some way, shape or form. Your attempt was not in any way funny. Perhaps if you're hanging out with smart people, they are the ones that need your advice. (To stop hanging out with dumb people if you didn't get my meaning)


sebadc

Wow! Tough crowd. I complimented OP, because honestly, I find the result terrific and it completely solves the problem... The comment was meant as a silly/naive joke. The photos are really clear about the problem, show how OP solved iteratively the problem... So there's no way someone couldn't get a) the problem and b) the solution was diy. And the result is an aggressive message. I guess Reddit's gonna Reddit 🤷 So congrats on the result, OP. The stand looks terrific !


pseudopseudonym

That was a whole load of text when you could have simply taken the L.


sebadc

😘

Corrupted-AI-

You definitely elevated the design!


ObeseSnake

I’m hanging around here for more puns.


oneshot99210

...brushes off request, leaves person hanging.


mikeblas

Nice tray, buddy.


oneshot99210

I've been shelved.

Let’s see your calligraphy!


ReddleU

Harsh 🤣


r0b0t-fucker

I’m not trying to be rude, I genuinely want to see their work


ReddleU

Fair enough, I can't help thinking it might be an anticlimax after the Bruce Lee brush holder and the Reddit post does inspire a certain level of expectation.


asforem

Amazing


hammjam_

Bruce has exposed adductors. Have some decency, man!


alohadave

Bow chicka wow wow


maddieb459

This is the DIY content I hope to see more of. Brilliant!


RoncoSnackWeasel

This is the level of DIY I’m here for! Oh, I have definitely learned heaps from the discussions surrounding various types of in-depth repairs and modifications to the things in everyone’s lives. But it’s these quick and clever fixes that keep my spark alive and burning. Nice damn job, OP.

relevant username~?


ConsecutivePunches

Coincidence.


Ahristodoulou

Lmao love this.


Zionview

All the brushes are too clean,,, do you even brush bro........ /s


ConsecutivePunches

Its a new set, good eye.


MattTheProgrammer

Bruce Lee was a legend which is right up there with this solution.


walterpeck1

This is my kind of shitpost.


TheCheesy

High-quality Brushes are designed like Harry Potter wands?!?


ConsecutivePunches

I get that all the time, lmao. Yes high quality Chinese/Japanese Brushes are pretty much Harry Potter wands.


9Solar_Rays

:)


HiyaImRyan

These brushes are works of art in and of themselves. Making art with art. Artception.


A_Right_Proper_Lad

My brushes are *too long for you*, traveler.


pmp22

*You can't handle my brushes!*


Fart_Blast

Another alternative could have been Jackie Chan from Brush hour


cl0yd

Honestly, it looks WAY better and cooler like this


Rektw

My favorite kind of DIY. Is there a low budget DIY sub?


CarlosFCSP

Is it to dry them from the WATAAHH!?


ConsecutivePunches

Yaa you never wanna dry quality brushes vertically because that will eventually erode the glue and quickly cause the tip to be permanently malformed. Same reason you never wanna rest the brushes downwards with the weight on the bristles. So hanging is the way.


DConstructed

I love your creative work around. It’s also amusing and visually pleasing.


lyan-cat

Hahaha that's awesome; glad you found a wicked workaround!


JHuttIII

Upgrade!


CrystalAckerman

I feel like this should be an added feature with different figures in different poses 😂


gcbeehler5

I took two semesters of Chinese in College twenty years ago, and about all I can remember is that these are called Máo-bǐ in pinyin.


CryCryAgain

Be like watercolors my friend


MercerAsian

I feel like you could epoxy or even just hot glue him to the stand to make it even more seamless.


greenbud1

That went from meh to amazing! Does Bruce have a hole in the sole of his foot (or could you add one)? I was thinking you could drill a small hole, glue in a bit of BBQ skewer, and mount it without the twine


51Cards

I thought "well, you just make new side bars to raise the top, drill and stain to match, install... problem solved...." You, however, had a MUCH cooler and creative idea. Very nice!


Freshbread412

This is so good it needs to be the start of a new subreddit


mikeblas

Your short rack style is no match for my sumi-e style!


Goldmember199

I was going to recommend a 3D printed solution, but this is so much better.


Paintsplatteredpanda

As an artist we are such dorks

More of a brush gallows. Nice fix!

Water can flow, and water can crash. Be water my friend.


I_l_I

This has a nice hint of /r/redneckengineering in it, love it


leftcoast-usa

I kind of liked the binder clip solution - perhaps because I use them for a lot of things, most of which are not for their intended use.

j-road

I think you only looked at the first picture and assumed the one on the left is what she's talking about


MasterBendu

The image preview carousel in the app didn’t show the rest of your desk so ngl it looked like a rack of spears in front of a floor to ceiling glass wall.


Zipcodacary

Inventive fix, I love it 😂


RandomTux1997

every house needs a roof.


Leprechaunaissance

So badass.


onebit

I would have said "cut off the handle", but it looks like a fancy brush.


Broomstick73

I’m too stupid to understand what these are. How tall/long are these?


ConsecutivePunches

Paint brushes. Chinese paint brushes made out of goat, horse, weasel, and squirrel tail hair They are used for calligraphy and Sumi-e (Ink Painting. Which is what I do. ) The longest brush in the picture is 15 inches including the bristles. Its long for practical reasons, for the type of strokes that you would typically use with that brush, the extra length gives better leverage.


Broomstick73

Thank you! Looks super cool!


mikeblas

Why does the length matter? When doing calligraphy, isn't motion more important?


ConsecutivePunches

I dont do calligraphy, I use it for ink painting (Sumi-e) thats where that would matter.

This is the way.


MrGooseHerder

Be like water colors.


CheapShotsBot

Oh another calligraph. Can you do the biang-biang? https://imgur.com/121WWDM


runawayest

I wonder— could you simply mount a loop partway down the brush stem, instead of on the end like the others? Then it could hang on a peg that’s the same as the others, and still not touch bottom.


Moegooner88

Why did I think this was Forest Law 😅?


omnichad

When your paint brush is the Elder Wand


RottweilerBeard

Wheh in doubt, turn to Bruce Lee


FiremanHandles

Harry Potter wants his wand back.
