I'd really like to meet this fellow and have him make me a hat!

Cool!

I want to learn to make hats...

[Griff]

Interesting.

I wouldn't mind one of those myself! -Tutt

And I thought I had custom hats. All we're done as he said, but no one made them in front of me.

That was a mighty good read, thanks.

[bdhold]

great-looking hat, and there's nothing like a custom hat.

I have the Stetson Factory Outlet reasonably close to me, and I think I would rather have one of his hats. Cool.

I met this fella in Maine - oh, about 10 years ago I guess. My
oldest son and I had gone to a hunting/outdoor show in western Maine,
and there was this fella making hats. My kid, who was about 8 or 9 at
the time, wanted one. I didn't have the $150 (each!) or so, or I might have
gotten us a pair! Beautiful hats.

Vey talented craftsman, and enjoys a simpler lifestyle. And yes, he uses
those antique tools shown in the article. He's also quite an accomplished
conversationalist, and if he was online, he'd be a very welcome addition to
this forum. Most of the folks here would like him very much.

Nice article - thanks for sharing and bringing back some fond memories.

After a closer read of the article, I saw him in March, 2005 at
that sportsman's show hementioned in Maine. 9 years ago.

Small world, eh?! LOL!!!
