I'd never work without a gooseneck regardless of how deep the sills were.

[s.w.c]

A stubby carbon fibre gooseneck that does way with the need of a stock altogether would be a dream come true, Nic.

I must admit a short stubby carbon gooseneck would be handy I use alex carbon goosenecks but on some of my work there a bit of a pain, a shorter version would be good idea, you listerning alex,

there is a trick to lightening brushes without spoiling it,

who said extreme sill brush, you have long wait, I asked mr G to make me attchment for quick release poles to fit traditional window cleaning bits, unger sell a bit to fit theres but need a bit to fit between both, im still waiting, lol so extreme sill brush maybe 2018, lol

Smithy. Alex does a cone now for trad gear.

Alex says a sill extreme is due.

Two new brushes soon ( don't know what they are tho)

[s.w.c]

I know the cone , but alex knows what im after,  I done work on original sill, extreme sill will be light, lol two new brushes due soon you say,  im working on some now so who knows how they will turn out, only mr G he gets feedback from all testers then has to put it all together into a new brush for the market, ive got a bucket full of old prototype, still to this day I use one I came up with on my everyday pole even got gold bristles, lol I do like brushes and working on them as there one of the most important bits of kit we use,

If you have ever weighed any of your brushes, s.w.c., what was your lightest?

I made my own stubby gooseneck, I ended up with a few of them from buying a few pole so I cut one down and converted it to a quickloc goose neck. Comes in handy every now and again.

Can you go into a little more detail, Lee. How did you go about the conversion, exactly?

I would have to find my project book it should have details or weight one, I caant give figures for any of alex stuff past or present, it wouldnt be right thats why i keep all old prototypes, seen oodd one oon fleabay a while back, but its not my way,but I do have some of my. Own brushes i will dig them out and weigh but I will need time to dig them out, I just looked through pics I just spotted in 2008 I made a carbon gooseneck lol

It's straight forward but you need the quick loc system, if you done use this already the you would need to change your brush sockets to them.

You just cut the end off your goose neck off to the length that you want the attach one of the goose neck quick loc adapters.

I like it Lee, but instead of incurring the weight of the adapter and socket, I might see if I can use just part of the adapter to help glue and strengthen a shortened carbon fibre gooseneck top arm.

Thanks very much for the picture and idea.
