That Hollywood Hatter looks like he is using a surplus WW2 flame thrower to singe his hats!!! The female milliner....first time I have seen a staple gun used in hat making. Art's video is still by far the best. I watched the two part YouTube series on Tatton-Baird....parts are good but too much fluff. I have to think there is a market out there for a comprehensive series of YouTube instructional videos on the art of hatting. I think there is money to be made and a real service to be delivered.Documenting these videos that show techniques of other hat makers. Some of these are more promotional videos but watch closely and you can get some ideas.
Of course will re-post the @Jed I. Knight video of @Art Fawcett working on his hat.
