That's brilliant!
Do you have to slide the brushes in and out (no innuendo intended, of course
), or are they easy to grab when needed?
I was introduced to the concept of brush holders when I received one free with my order of Hobbyzone modules. It's a simple MDF affair, holding two brushes, but I've started using it nonetheless. It still requires some discipline to always put the brush back on the stand, when not using it, but considering I only started using it a few weeks ago, I'd say I'm improving
At first I was puzzled by it though, as I thought it was for putting down loaded brushes, but I rarely, if ever, do that, and then only in emergencies. And then I put the ferrule on the edge of my palette (which is an old plate) in the unlikely case of dripping/spilling.
But it's nice to know where my brushes are all the time now, even though I used to always put them in the same spot on my desk anyway (right along the left side of my cutting mat (I'm a leftie
)). It does help reducing the amount of brushes on my desk though, as I tended to put an entire range there, as I used them during a project.
So in all, it helps keeping a tidier desk. Which is nice...
