Also interested specially on how to acquire the molds.

​@@kanonpeterson1041machine them or get them machined

No problem. Keep creating

@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply hi

They are glued John. Per the website ( www.jerrysartarama.com/hamburg-premier-brushes): "Hamburg Professional Synthetic Blend Brushes from Creative Mark are skillfully crafted by hand by a world-class German brush maker. Each brush is created with an 8 step process. First, hairs are carefully blended exactly by a skilled brush dresser, painstakingly pinching the shape into an exact bundle for the shape and size. The bundles are hand tied, shaped, and measured. They are then placed into a nickel-plated brass ferrule, and secured with polyurethane glue. After drying, the ferrule is glued to the handle and double crimped extra deep to permanently secure the brush."

Ja. Daniel ist Deutscher und die Hamburger Premier Professional Pinsel werden in Deutschland handgefertigt. (Yes. Daniel is German and the Hamburg Premier Professional brushes are handmade in Germany.)

Thank you!

@Sven Figenschou - thank you for the question! We reached out to Daniel and he said they use a polyurethane glue to secure the bristles within the ferrule. However, if you were asking about the handle, that is assembled in a separate production step. The ferrule is crimped mechanically and secured with hot melt glue.

@dueler57time Unfortunately, those metal molds aren't readily available. Daniel Zahn has been making brushes for years and learned as an apprentice from a master. The tools and knowledge they have is passed from generation to generation and includes custom tools made ages ago.

Is there something similar that I can look into? I would love to apprentice but thats not readily available in my area.

@kahn -This is a proprietary blend of natural and synthetic blended multi-filament sizes of hair.

@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply You were honest about it's making. I want to ask about the brushes of many companies which they claim synthetic are actually synthetic or not. Are they fully synthetic or blend with natural hair. I am talking about these natural imitation Escoda, Da vinci Caseno, Sennelier raphael, Princeton Neptune etc. I am asking this because you people can easily tell.

Just get them printed or machined, or machine them yourself (it's a fucking piece of metal with a hole drilled into it) if your hands aren't growing out of your ass
