Subject: How to store your painting brushes upside down Tutorial (Video)

Just a thought, makes it handy to hang in many ways (from a wire, desk lamp...) so it is a good idea.
Also having any body part in front of a drilling-sharp end is to be avoided. I cringed too. At least we have concern for your safety.
Yes of course you can but magnets seems to me better solution as I had already shelf with the metal bar. Also If you look around almost everywhere in your room you will find metallic surfaces so you can easy attach it. I find magnets easier to use in general than the nail that I have to hang. Yes ok I'm a little lazy boy
Couldn't you just blue tack them to the wall?
I don't think blue tack is a permanent solution but it's not a bad idea.
I have to say it again. The drill is very very slow but it look very fast at the video . Also I've already made a smaller hole as a guide for the bigger one.
That is so simple and obvious, I cannot understand why people hadn't thought of doing it before, myself included. Genius, sir. Well played.
What a great idea, I love that! Now I have a (new) weekend project, thanks!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Please post here some photos if you can

Can some one explain the reason I would want to store my brushes upside down.
After using the brush some water will remain in the ferrule. If you store the brush with the tip up the water will dry in the ferrule and the head (where the hairs of the brush are glued). This will harm after a long time your precious brushes.
Storing them up side down the water will dry it the tip.

Do you have any evidence for this assertion? It sounds like the hobbyist equivalent of an old wive's tale.
"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.
