How I re-use old guitar strings (wood laminate tool pt3)
In my last article I turned my laminate blank into a knife/scraper, in this video I turn the other side into a guitar string brush. When I change the strings on one of my guitars I cut up the old strings and use them as bristles in diy handtools. The strings are usually high quality stainless steel (or phosphor bronze coated steel) and make excellent brushes that I use to remove carbon fouling and rust from gun parts.
Thanks for watching!

That is really cool and something I would have never thought to do!
You really have some great crafting skills :)
Thanks
This is incredibly brilliant! I've been playing guitar for years, and never thought once about using my strings for another purpose.
Well, now I know why you drilled the hole in the end of the tool that you made in the last video. I was wondering about that.
very nice! And should work quite well for getting rid of carbon gunk
