Love to see the fir felt shenanigans keeping on! I also think we need to take a longer look at beavers and other aquatic fir bearing mammals and how they fit in with current and future water resource management.
I am going to market with a brim plater this week. Pricing it at $7500 USD. Hopefully this will be more attainable for our fellow hat makers out thereIt is possible it just depends on how much the hatter sands down the brim edge. A brim plater helps as well as the hydraulic pressure does compress the felt. I think a brim plater is on most hatters wish list but at $12-15 grand out of most or our capabilities. I think at the very least hatters sand down the hard right angle that the rounding jack produces on the cut.
