brush-making
Crafting sweeping tools
Brush-making is the craft or trade of manufacturing brushes—from fine artist's brushes to industrial scrubbing tools.
The process involves setting bristles, fibers, or other materials into a handle or base.
Once a skilled handcraft, brush-making is now largely mechanized, though specialty brushes still require traditional techniques.
