It's ok herb he's got another on the bench there aswell.... He's good for at least another 4 brushes. ... That will serve him well for at least another fortnight

I love the word 'fortnight'. I think we should bring it back into everyday conversation. I'm jealous cuda, my airbrush holder cost me half a roll of electrical tape and some wire from a political sign stuck in the ground (I did the wire a favor...way more useful than holding a political sign:eek-new
. But, I am thinking of throwing some gold leaf on it.

Is it me, I just do not like the plastic holders, my badger brushes do not fit them well. Ok I use my iwatas more now. I make my own. 1 small block of wood, 2 large coated cup hooks, good to go. I have a pair if thse attached to my easel and 2 I made from 3" PVC that sit on the bench. Yeah i'm cheap about things like this. Brushes on the other hand....

Now you sound like me. I get bored and use the machine to cut some free hand shield that I layout in Autocad,
Or go back to the tool room and custom make plexiglass canvas holders ..
Nice to be able to do things like that.

Yeah, same here. I put my Badger's on the top and either my H&S's or Iwatas in the plastic holders on the side.
I may need to buy another one though, sometimes 4 brushes at a time just isn't enough. :highly_amused:

Bit off topic noob question, on the first picture all the airbrushes have their back covers off. Do people use airbrushes this way and if so why?

Some people do. I prefer to have the cover on because the needle chuck hits the inside of my hand. It causes me to have inconsistent trigger action.

What's the point of taking it off though?

Might be a comfort thing, might be a throwback to the days that the handle didnt have cut outs, who knows .

I never found one, I'm sure Cuda will answer. The only possible reasons I can think of is quick access to the trigger spring adjustment and the needle to clear nozzle blockages.
With the back end off, if you happen to drop your brush, you are almost guaranteed to bend the needle and more than likely flare your nozzle.

I have one of those also but don't like the top part (red coated) so I took it off and did this mod to it.......

I've got a similar one but that clamps to the desk. It also has the plastic head grippers. I took that off and don't use it at all. For starters you run the risk that if you are not using a needle cap, you can bump you needle against the edges and side feed does not fit. A local supplier stick his logo on the packaging and sell them for $40. I bought my unbranded one for $10 in a local tool shop.
