Oofah! Great job, Bond.

Bond - you've made a great looking hat out of something unwearable.

Indeed, Scott! "A silk purse from a sow's ear." Take a bow.

 

[John Galt]

Great work Bond! I'm inspired!

Likewise all my inspiration comes from being on the lounge!

Another awesome save by bond.Great looking hat now.

Very nice work on the conversion Bond. Really nice! I like that!

Thought I'd post some better angle shots of John Galt's Resistol / Indy conversion...sorry for the poor picture quality. My cell phone camera isn't that good...

Well this one never made into the Classifieds and is officially SOLD!
Thanks for all of the interest and kind words.

THAT is a mighty fine looking hat. I like the two-tone ribbon treatment.

Bond,Strapped-4-cache,ManofKent,pjt113,RJR,scottyrocks,gentlemen thank you.Definitely this one has been getting some head time.

 

[Mr.Astor]

Nice hat Dogman! Great work!I also like that brim jig,very innovative.

 

[DOGMAN]

Thank you,Mr.Astor.The brim trimmer was a simple solution thought up by a simple man.The metal tray that keeps the blade from cutting into the surface I'm cutting on was a toaster crumb tray.

 

[DesertDan]

Yes indeed, nicely done!

 

[DOGMAN]

Thank you,DesertDan.This started as a hobby and has turned into a habit.

Nice job. Really love your crumb tray
