So, here's the thing: It's been raining like crazy, and I'm still very nervous about wearing a quality hat out in weather like this. So, I took a step backward and donned a hat (cap) that I don't worry about surviving the weather.
Tell me, how do you take an Akubra Campdraft and wear it out...
I get jealous of you guys (and that's most of you) who can just pop on a hat and make it look great. And vice-versa. I'm afraid I'm not one of you in that regard. If I weren't busy conducting a training right now, I'd be "liking" pretty much every post I see. So, this is a "global like" to...
Whew. The problem of old threads rising to the top. I started reading the last page, and then went back in time to see what others had contributed to the thread, and almost jumped out of my skin.
You see, I could probably add my own pages to this thread; I'm debating on whether I should...
One of the things I like about the Steve Allen clip -- and we all know Steve Allen was quite the musician, too -- is that he starts out being dismissive of Zappa. By the end, he has grown to respect him.

I did know that! I saw Frank Zappa in concert five times. Once in Baltimore, MD (his home town) and four times in Munich, Germany. Frank was a serious, professional musician. I remember reading an article on him in a German magazine on a train from Munich to Vienna, and it described how he...
Wow, that was fast! It took me about three months to get my Campdraft. Great pics, but I wonder why you, like so many others, scowl when shooting a selfie? I'd scowl because I'm terrible at taking selfies, but when I try, I like to smile, because wearing a nifty hat is reason to smile! :)
It's a nice, spring day around here today, so I thought it might be a good day to debut my Akbura Campdraft. I kneaded and shaped it a bit, applied some steam, and figured it was due for its maiden voyage.
This is the first time I've shaped my own crown. I think I need to fine tune it a bit...
