Western, anyone?

I use a deep pot with the crown inverted in the pot. The pot is from my home brewing days, so it is probably 5 gallons.

Good idea DD. I have a big round glass plate from the carousel of an old microwave that has a small lip around the edge. It helps with a slight OR type curl but not much more than that. I also set the plate in my lap & iron brims on it. Works good for that.

I have a 3 gal SS stockpot & lid. The diameter might be big enough but right now it still has chili in it. I have a tall turkey fryer pot but the diameter would be too small I'm sure. Plus it's aluminum & would probably mark the felt.

Guess you'll have to finish the chili! Always better the next day.

Cornbread is all gone. Some of the chili will get jarred & into the freezer until the Daytona 500 comes up on Feb 18th.

I like that hat a lot!

 

[Cornshucker77]

Here is another 4x Stetson from the 70s. Since they are plentiful and inexpensive, they are a good candidate for experimentation. In this case, I wanted to practice doing kettle curls. This will get a wide ribbon also. Still working at kettle curls but making progress. Now for a black one!

A couple of cows have calved early. We are supposed to be in for a huge barometric pressure drop here about Thurs this coming wk so there could be more cows calve early.

Still wearing the Rand chocolate but these pics are from early last spring.

Yep, when the pressure drops, calves drop.

I am going to go have a drink now, because I don't own that hat. That is beautiful!

DD: thanks man, sure does. Got it. Now i’m thinking bout “pizza pan” types. Big, set hat on top side and work it. Just brainstorming.
Ha...guess a deep dish pizza is best!!
Be well. Bowen

Looks good! Nice crease you put on it. The hat band goes well with the black hat.

You would be lucky to have either one, but both! They are both beautiful!
