Hey fellow loungers,

I looked through and didn't find any fresh threads on hat making tools. They just straight up fascinate me. I'm excited to say that I am getting these fine tools from my carpenter tomorrow!! Will post more pics after I get them! A foot tolliker, pusher downer, & puller downer.

So let's see them! Post your hat making tools!!

Getting ready to make my first hat, but first, the tools. Rummaged through my shop for scrap wood, table leg, and a piece of deer antler. At the end of the day I think I have adequate tools for the job.

Thank you ManofKent. Fact is, I'm just too cheap to buy the beautiful tools made by that other fellow.
