    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    You, can think about, reusing fuel, especially on dark. Use it for a first cleaning. I have a post on here way back, where I showed a hat cleaning process, with white fuel. Be careful with plastic containers, do it far from the house, 2 or 3 gallons of fuel that breaks free of that plastic...

    Thank you Al. I like when things occur naturally as well. I tried to keep that feeling on this. So after the first firing, I spent time thinking through, the final work. I just wasn't out to blaze a hat, I was carefully painting my masterpiece. Thanks for the like and words. Sent from my...

    I did get new sweatband but this one, is treated, not naked. I got these, so I can put them on the hats, going on the internet for sale, and know, if there is a return, the sweat won't be stained. I'll use the naked taupe and naked natural, in custom builds.

    When 2 different guys, over time help. One with binding, for the most part, and another with sizing. They've both been given many kudos, by me, for being friends enough, in that, being able to share just enough information to make 2 things, very important for me, to know. My brims, would not be...

    I have many felt bodies on hand, most are bigger bodies, in beaver and staple. But I have a few smaller red stringers, for your blocking size. Those are in staple rabbit only. Message me, I'm curious to know if you do go for a build , if you will want beaver or staple rabbit. If I have to...

    I made my first hat in 2011, I think I sold that to RJR, used in 2016. When I found I lost a job. Our first hat, a hatters first hat, such a thrill in making it, do I wish I had kept it now, no. Why, because I like Bob, he knows me for a long time and knows I've paid my dues, and he watched as I...

    I needed to step out of the box this week, and do something different. I just aged, and distressed what will be a size 7-1/2 beaver body, it was a really cool learning experience as well, and simply something different. Don't worry though, my heart is dedicated to making PERFECT BEAUTY, I...
