This is what i created today.
It is made from brass tube and stove laquered for the winter weather.

I going to see if i can put a swivel joint on my next bent arm so i can adjust.

What do u think of it???

nice job mate wont look that shiny for long though i bet!!!

[david68]

Should do as all parts have been polished and stove laquered for outside .
weather.

I have made lights for outside signs with the same method and still shiney after 5 years..

Dave

[aztec]

i was only joking Dave!!!

is this a hobby or do you make these full time along with your window cleaning mate, i would be interested in a custom made gooseneck for a few awkward jobs i do

[david68]

Yes i can do this for you but the goose kneck will be from brass tube and i do have the machines to make most turn parts.

Just messing about at this moment with making new jets.

Dave, what brush is that?

[david68]

Don't know what brush it is.
I brought some window cleaning equiment and the brush was of an old pole.
So it look a good kind and now i have fitted it to my arm.

Can anyone tell us what brush it is....(it as a sticker on it called T T Products)

Dave

It's an Ionic brush. It would have said OTT on it.

Hi david

Thats a great looking gooseneck i think the brass finish looks better than the standard alloy finish.

Can you tell me what stove laquer is.

I keep thinking about making some of my own parts but never get round to it i usually convert things.

I must have a go at trying to make a few things though.

david68, that look really good mate - having worked in manufacturing engineering for a while I can appreciate your imagination and the quality of finish.

e-mail me with a price for them please and I'll think about taking one or two for a trial.

cheers

Hi JM123
The alloy piece attached to the brush is from another pole manufacture,
So i am wondering to get a die cast made to make my own or change the alloy casting to brass tubing.

Hi Paul

The stove laquer is around £180 for 25 lts.....will found out what type for you.

Dave

[steve k]

looks great that but surely brass is HEAVY

[S_RICHARDSON]

Looks great David well done maybe when you find any awkward job's with ledges and what not then you'll be able to make your own gooseneck!



Shaun R.

[steve k]

thats what it is...isnt it?

[S_RICHARDSON]

Sorry I meant that he could do that constantly for each awkward job!





Shaun R.

[david68]

Will have at a look at doing one complete with my own parts....I will do a costing and see if i can sell them...


Dave

[Alex Gardiner]

Hi David,

Out of professional interest, what is the weight of your brass (looks good) gooseneck? Also what does the brush and cast alloy (Omnipole methinks) brush bracket weigh?

Alex

[david68]

I will weigh it and get back to you.
Brass tube will not be to heavy but the brass turn parts on each end may weigh a bit.
Let you know later

Dave

Excellent job - my wife's got jewellery less shiny than that!
