I've always borrowed a bucket washer up til now, but I want to build my own before next season.
THe one I borrow is homemade and I can copy it without much trouble, except for the brushes. Instead of that insanely expensive bucket brush, this one has a small brush mounted crossways to do the bottom of the buckets, with 2 - 12" long brushes mounted lengthways on each side to do the sides, THey go in and out on a spring arrangement to adjust for different buckets.
Since I (or more accurately, my wife) need to wash both metal buckets and plastic ones, THat arrangement makes sense. (I may end up with 2 sets of brushes for the huge difference in size)
My question is - Where can I get LONG scrub brushes? I've haunted eBay, and checked Home Depot and Lowes, Hardware stores, Grainger and McMaster-Carr with no luck. Any other ideas?
