You are very welcome, glad I was able to make something that you can enjoy, the hat looks really good the way you are wearing it.
Thanks for allowing all the time I took making this hat
There are a few things I keep to my chest and aging a hat and making old is one of those things, I was emailed this morning and asked how to do this, I informed the sender to send to me, he stated that he lived in England and needed to have it done real fast.

I have one of the Hatstay devices, it was given to me by an old man that has bought a old dry goods store that was in business from 1900 to 1970, at which time they closed the doors, in 1990, this old man bought the fixtures from the old store and he was given all items that were in the store...
Thanks gang, I am ok, just scared like hell yesterday, the steam pressure= hot water temp was around 300 degrees water temp that hit me in the face, when water line blew, I rushed to close off the valve, and the hot water had back feed thru the water make up line. The check valve did not stop it...

Thanks ya'll , I have always been told to treat people the way you want to be treated. Money really means not that much to me right now, my payment is making people that really need help happy, that alone is payment for me.
