It shows, and is very much appreciated, Oliver! You are also very modest. Your collection alone probably merits a book, and I'd love to read the text you'd include with it. -

I've read it, and watched the YouTube videos, which are highly recommended. No, I had not, although it is consistent with my reading. It was nice to read, and well illustrated. TonyB is one of the "others" referred to, whose handles I could not recall at the time ;-). I did not know he owned... -

Great photo - that shop is like a time capsule. -

Western, anyone?
Great reminder of what "western" hat includes. Thanks! I also like the second crease. -

He told me the same thing. I (carefully) use the cutter on a pair of needle nose pliers to do this. ------------------------------------------ Caveat - Long, boring slightly preachy & self indulgent rant follows: ------------------------------------------ I know I sing JW's praises a lot. He... -

Probably the right size, but they are made of plastic and aren't very tough. I really don't think they would hold tightly enough to the monofilament. The steel roll pins grip pretty tight when crimped on each end. John -

Great help! Yes, Leko's ferrules are identical to what I got from JW, which are the roll pins - also identical to what I bought online (except that I ordered stainless). -

Thanks, I didn't even think about "monofilament" in this context - makes me feel silly. I'll take my ferrules down to the tackle shop & pick out an appropriate line ;-). I've used Leko's and they are fine, but I don't like their sweats or their minimum order requirement. John -

For Sale: Rare Resistol Krushable 7 1/8 Charcoal Grey
I collect primarily lightweight vintage hats, and am thinning my collection. This one is a beauty and took about 2 years to find, but I rarely wear black hats and would rather buy hatter's tools. There are no discernible moth damage, rips, tears or stains. The hat is very lightweight, and...- John Galt

One question, are they copper or brass? They look like they might be. If so, they will corrode and leave verdigris. -

They look right to me. Now does anyone have a source for monofilament that will fit? -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
You could use a sliver of soap to mark it and cut it with an exacto. When you pounce the edge it will hide a lot of little issues. Note that I did carefully cut 1/8 off the sides of TJ's Indy conversion with a set of high end seamstress' scissors never used to cut anything but cloth/felt. It... -

The Conversion Corral
Thanks Terry! I was seriously looking at a 3D wood carving machine to duplicate some if the old blocks. & flanges, but it was expensive and seemed trouble prone. I'm going to get my band saw working soon though, and may try to make you a block based on my Langenberg 7 1/8 LO (but shave a bit... -

Thank you. It looks like it might need a little TLC, but between this and the spring jack I bought recently, and the euro style jack I bought a while back, I have plenty of models. I do still plan to make an economical rounding jack, and to complete my own aborted design at some time. It may... -

Thanks Hatter4! I will be getting my new bandsaw blade soon, and may have a couple if special requests. Oh, and bee's wax makes sense. It probably has a bit nicer finish too.
