Step 6(optional): Smooth the brush stand
PVC cuts very well with a PVC cutter, but when you have to saw it like this, it produces pretty rough edges. You should smooth these down with an abrasive; if you're not concerned about a perfect finish, I recommend rasping with a file.
It's best to use a half-round bastard file. There is no true reason for this, and another file would probably get better results, but in truth I think there is no more manly phrase than "rasp the rough edges with a half-round bastard."
No, seriously. "Quench the red-hot metal in water" is pretty manly, I'll grant you, as is "hold the arc until the alloy melts", and such. But they just don't have the resonance of "rasp the rough edges with a half-round bastard."
I like it. It's got a ring to it.
