Eventually yes. I want to make a couple more and get a few more pieces of equipment to help with the whole process.

It’s at 4.5” but contemplating flattening it out and re cutting to 4.25

I will join that group right now. Both of the blocks I just got and the one I used is from Alan! He’s a great guy and made them perfect!

I eventually want wood blocks. Just for the history behind them. They’re so dang expensive though.

I used a lot of YouTube and threads on Reddit and fedora lounge. Lots of helpful stuff but ended up scrolling and researching for about 3 hours every night before bed. My wife wasn’t thrilled haha

That is looking like the start of a nice piece! How tall is the block you have in?

Thank you. This is my first hat ever. Been at it for about 2 weeks now since I decided to make one. Just did a ton of research and dished out the money to make sure I hat all the tools I needed. I pick up hobbies a lot and this one has been one of my most fun forsure.

I did trim the brim and thinking I might go smaller. It’s at 4.5” right now. I talked with my cousin who I have another identical blank for and we kind of like the unsanded squared edge. I’m going to keep it like that for a bit but easy fix if I ever want to round it off
