The biker-gang method of breaking anything in:

Biker #2: [the whole gang holds Pee-wee hostage] I say we kill him!
Biker Gang: [shout] Yeah!
Biker #3: I say we hang him, *then* we kill him!
Biker Gang: [shout] Yeah!
Biker #4: I say we stomp him!
Biker Gang: [shout] Yeah!
Biker #4: Then we tattoo him!
Biker Gang: [shout] Yeah!
Biker #4: Then we hang him...!
Biker Gang: [shout] YEAH!'!
Biker #4: And then we kill him!
Biker Gang: [shout] YEAH!'!'!
Pee-wee: [tries to throw voice without moving lips] I say we let him go.
Biker Gang: [shout] NO!'!'!
Biker Mama: [whistles] I say ya let me have him first!
Biker Gang: [break out in raucous laughter]

What I want to know is how did you trace the shape of your head? Did you just get it from a hat that fits you well?

that's the tricky part. I took a suggestion I found somewhere else on the lounge, which was to take a stiff piece of paper (like the kind they use to make file folders), cut a hole in it and continue trimming it bit by bit until it fits around your head the way you want your hat to. Then I traced that onto the wood.

another which I learned of later, which may work better, is to get a "conformer" tape- I haven't tried one myself so I can't tell you much more about that.
