As much fun as Bob had beating the brush his easel leg during his TV show, he also recommended you don't do that at home! Bob designed this  Brush Beater Rack to fit into a trash bin. (I use one with a lid on top). You remove the excess thinner by firmly beating the bristles of the brush against the Brush-Beater Rack. 10.75"x5.25"x5.75", vinyl coated. This is only for your large 1 and two inch brushes.
