    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The hat still looks great on you my friend! I'm currently spending some time in Phoenix, AZ. I needed to breath some desert air. I hope you and yours are all well.

    Greetings David. You're definitely on my list for a Milan straw hat. Just gotta make sure it's worthy of a cool cat like you and your Eden-like environment.

    You are correct Kevin. I went down the rabbit hole with this new hobby. All the best tools, none of the talent. :cool:

    I'm not making anything at all to sell these days old friend and likely won't until I go to full retirement. For now, it's all just for fun and to add to the skillset. I've made a few pairs of shoes that are less than stellar examples of the cobbler's art. I'll keep practicing, but I'm easily...

    My last custom hat was some time ago. I did a southwestern take on the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder hat for a good man in New Mexico. Lately, I've been busy learning metal engraving and making silver coin rings. I've come to realize that it's not so much the hobbies that I love, but rather the...

    Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that one Scooterz. One of my favorites for sure. Thank for the trip down memory lane.

    We will definitely revisit that one Brent. As soon as it warms up a bit here I plan to put a big kettle on the boil outside, load it with acid dye, and cook that damn hat body until it does what I want it to do.:mad:

    Love that old finger blocking machine! I wouldn't kill to have one, but I'd definitely hurt someone. :D

    Holy Crap Bob! That's something you don't see every day. I find it strangely appealing.

    I like the way you think Jared. Most everything that comes out of my shop could fall under the heading "Odd Job". Now you have me thinking how I could make a felt hat with a brass brim. Hmmmm.

    I'm right there with you Robert. Real estate is dear in my shop. I keep telling myself I need to thin out the inventory of vintage hats and superfluous sewing machines, but I seem to lack the motivation to do so.

    Add this to the list of things in the shop that are "just for lookin' at". Someone went to a lot of trouble to take a hat block, make a metal brim, and mount them to a stand. Had to have it...just because it is.

    Thanks CWV. I'm also thinking I can use this tubing in a smaller diameter to make sewing machine belts. We'll see how that goes.
