Thanks Milliedog! Much appreciated. At this early stage I would like to keep my techniques for resizing close to the chest, I'm sure you understand. It's safe for the caps, and it works! :)

Filming the MGM lion footage that is still used to this day.

Trying my hand at making an 8 dart cap using as a model one of my true treasures - a 1920 deadstock French casquette in mint condition. Miles is taking a rare turn wearing it, it fits him perfectly. Isn't it beautiful?

Regarding my own efforts, I can't say how much more I appreciate Johnny's and Barry's prowess. Bloody hard work!!

Dane/Zombie - they're twins[no sarcasm]!

Let me clarify that last post - Miles is wearing the ACTUAL 1920 cap, the other shots are my knock-off coming together. Waiting for the hessian to arrive next week to finish the job. But thanks for the vote of confidence, Barry! I will enjoy making some for myself, but I'll leave the vocation to you pros!

Btw. looking at picture I can't help wondering, Keith ... are you sure you need the extra lenses and very bright light? Have you ever tried to sew with wide open eyes? ;)

Sorry, but I finally had the chance to pass on one of the lines I so often hear myself. Just you wait till the twins get a little older :D

You poo' little fella ... 58 here. Three wellspoken kids, five grands and only one pair of well worn eyes. Why do you think I hear that line so often ;)

I saw the "remix"-poster for your site. Your eyes may be aging, but you sure know how to keep them sharp! The cap is another great proof
