I don't know if it's been posted before, either, but thanks for posting it tinmanzzz.

The section on the felting process alone is fantastic - love the fur flying down onto the cone! The video made it easier for me to envision the extra steps involved in doing the Cavanagh Edge.

Thank you, too, to the good folks at HATCO for putting this on the Resistol website.

The fur really flies. Who knew?

the narrator keeps reiterating how delicate the felt bodies are at first, yet it looks like the workers just throw them around willy nilly! I guess they must be really skilled and know how to handle them!

fftopic: there's one thing I've always wondered... can you make a hat body out of human hair?? just curious lol

Another Video

I recently stumbled across a series of hat videos at expertvillage.com. Although they are focused primarily on cowboy/western styles, as someone new to bashing an open crown hat, I found this video http://www.expertvillage.com/video/91137_cowboy-hats-fixing-crowns.htm on shaping an open crown helpful.
