@alisetalberga shared their #DIY finger brush to use while sawing and I have just finally made one and I LOVE it - “Just take a small brush and remove it from the wooden handle. Mine was falling off anyways since it was quite old. Then i just took a thin strip of metal, one can use silver to feel more fancy... and just make an approximate same size loop in the middle of the metal strip with some cylindrical pliers or a small ring cone, then insert the tip of the brush in it, (squeeze tighter and slightly deform it) so it stays there. Bend the rest of the strip according to you finger tip size! And leave open ends, so that it can always be transformed bigger if necessary. Easy peasy :-) “ Thank you so much! Mine is slightly different but any version that keeps the brush on your finger works :) it really allows me to saw against a scribed line and keep the area dust free. Have you been using a tip you learned from our community? I would love to feature you! Send me pictures and/or video to
