Hi all,

Not to beat a dead horse; but I recently picked up the "brassy thing" in
a holder from BG Micro.  It's really nothing more than a piece of a
"Chore Boy" brand pot scrubber in a weighted holder; but the weighted
holder is so very, very nice.  As someone else mentioned, a Chore Boy in
a coffee cup or tuna can (get it?) would do just as well.

The Chore Boy scrubbers can be difficult to find.  My local A&P now
carries only Chore Boy sponges, and no longer carries the metallic
scrubbers.  Fortunately, I have found an ample supply in just about any
dollar store that I have walked into.

If you're interested in the BMG Micro version (which I think is really
nice) the URL is:

However, being QRP'ers and homebrewers, the Chore Boy in a home made
holder has a "simpleness" to it that I find quite appealing.
