Wow, I see I've gone from new in town to familiar face.

I'm going for 1000 posts and I think you get the coveted "One Too Many" title.
Thanks for you input on this thread, Pat. Can't wait to see your picture with Campaign Hat al a mode.

If one could get the pattern nailed down for the star vents I *think* you could get a set of gasket hole punches from an automotive tool supplier (like Autozone), and there should be one small enough to punch out a neat, tiny hole that would not be filled in naturally by the felt, as would a hole made with an awl or pin. These are tools used to make custom cork gaskets when the correct gasket isn't available (or to save money).

Because your comments intrigued me I have to try this little experiement. I got a punch set from a local craft store. When I find a suitable donor hat I am going to punch a small design in the crown.

Stay tuned..
