I am dialing it in, a little bit at a time. I'm happy to share what I've learned, Randall. We need to keep this art form alive.
As far as hauling off what I have, be careful what you wish for.
Over my life I accrued things, a lot of things, of practical value. But they only have practical...
Thanks Randall. I've had a lot less Lounge time lately, and time working on my hats. Changing my overcluttered wood shop in the basement into predominantly a hatter's workshop has been a more daunting task than I expected. It didn't help that I'd been accumulating stuff for a long time. All of...

Thank you.
I will probably still give it a gas bath sometime soon, but it is at least presentable instead of covered with moth bait.
My third hat today has been in hiding lately. I've sniffled before about the fact my Strats have come to me sans pins, while I see everyone else sporting their little airplanes.

I believe it's late 50's but it is solid all the way; felt, ribbon, leather, lining AND stitching!
That's really nice because I've had some...
I'm going a little bit against the flow here, but I think you should keep working with the capeline you bought and get the best hat you can out of it. It will be good practice while you pick up some of the techniques (like tying a hatters slipknot in a string for where the crown breaks into the...
I've had to relearn navigating FL in a browser window, but you're not kidding about the nice big pictures, Stefan!
I was having issues with my wireless printer and laptop not staying connected in my network. My daughter also gave me a small DYMO LabelWriter printer for Christmas that connects...
