A different rounding jack. I prefer a metal blade backer.

Yeh, I think that wooden one would get chewed up real quick.

My ex boss is a would be wood worker and always looking for projects. So I asked him to make me a 'belly board' like this. It works really well and I use it a lot. This winter when he is bored and looking for something to do I will get him to make me one with a more radical drop. Now if only I could convince him to make blocks and flanges!!!!It's ugly as all-get-out ... View attachment 447383
... but it works a charm.

After a couple of misses over the years I recently bought this stretcher. I’ll use it more like an expandable block when steaming crowns and I don’t plan on stretching hats.

Now that's a giant corkscrew! But seriously, the mechanics are the same. Very interesting and cool object!

Anyone here get this cool "SAN ANN" western flange on a recent auction? Paired with an optimo block (maybe Texas Hatters was using it for one of their Half-Breed builds).

I posted this in the Hat Making thread as well. My latest toy along with my much cheaper and cheezier solution to determining head shape. A $190 difference in cost........$10 versus $200.

This one recently sold for $750 at auction. Some issues.
If you're a tinkerer these are great projects to sink your teeth into. Quite a few of them are in poor shape and they're more fragile than you'd think.

The thought of buying one and refurbishing it is intriguing to me.....but probably should not venture down that rabbit hole!

If I had a bricks & mortar hat shop I would buy this as a display item. Great piece of history.
