What hat are you waiting for today?
Thanks for the good words all. I wanted to do something different in my ribbon work, just a subtle difference. I got this idea, from a study I did, on a 1930s Dobbs that I sold to Bowen. I liked the unique ribbon anchor, and applied it here. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk- Cane Rod Maker

The Resistol Roundup
1960s RESISTOL, Crystal 5x Beaver - A western conversion, I completed for a client. I'm hoping I put these photos in the right place. I recieved a work order from my client with the hat and that gave me direction on possible choices in gray, silver, pewter . But that game plan changed in the...- Cane Rod Maker

It depends on what you are looking for. And if the body is in my available stock; or, what's on hand at Winchester. Just a for instance. Navy Blue in Staple, is on back order and will likely be 5 weeks until available. I only have a few orders. I have blocks but I needed to get 2 blocks made...- Cane Rod Maker

I'm getting there slowly, and I would love a website, because I too see the value. I can't hide behind the fact, that, due to extreme circumstances, I'm struggling to get there. That is to include, everything across the board meaning me, getting by, just living. In 2013, I got hit head on by a...- Cane Rod Maker

Installing Wind Cords
Something tells me, that I'd likely feel that button, against my head, as they are thick. I do a loop back in there, in the cord, it's tied in, really, very well. I doubt, it would come free. It's the step I take, to be sure. I know this is Stoneys, thread, and I know folks are looking for...- Cane Rod Maker

Product branding, Alley Kat
Thank you. Yes they did a really great job. I should have the finished product in 2 or 3 weeks. I might take that 7-1/2 raw edge, silverbelly bunny, boss like build, that I did, and put one in it..I was holding off, thought it deserves one! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk- Cane Rod Maker

They are for lack of better words, a real treat to work on. If it doesn't bone up, it's not a great finish, simply said. I like to have 2 on hand, in case one doesn't fare out well. The process to get that to bone up , is different amongst us. I suspect it's why also, many favor building...- Cane Rod Maker

Installing Wind Cords
I run mien, through the body, and attach it well up near the reed tape. Most secure. Yes, a small hole, and feed it through with your tool of choice. I don't finish, the tie down, until ribbon is in place and proper. Then I make some final adjustments, and tie it in place, inside the crown.- Cane Rod Maker

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
Agreed. Prices are in line. Dues are paid indeed. I did the same thing a long time back, and I charged little for a build. I'd like to think, that I shoot in similar caliber and have I've also paid my dues. Great post indeed, I'm not here to get into Mikes business, just very happy for him...- Cane Rod Maker
