I've been looking at all the fantastic results people have been getting reblocking their hats and I've been bitten by the bug(it's infectious!

),I want to have a go at reblocking some of my old hats so I've ordered one of these.. http://www.hatshapers.com/Product%20Pag ... d_Dome.htm I think it might work quite well,has anyone used one?,what do you think?

If you do a basic search on hatshapers you should find some recent threads on the matter. Someone recently posted his reblock using one.

I didn't knew the existance of this ones! I was planing to go to a wood shop and tell some worker in there to make a block for me, but I wasn't pretty sure that they would do it ok. No one knows what the hat blocks are!!!

Anyway, I'll make some research of the S&H charges, and before that... if they send to Mexico

Thanks for posting MS!

I'm interested in buying one...

I was about to get one, but the S&H charges were almost as the cost of the dome. So with that money, i could get a wooden block in here... At least thats what i think 8-[

That is steep..I was originally quoted $32.00(from USPS website)but Carol said to wait until she had weighed it because she thought she could get the package small enough to go letter rate,and she came back with $15.75.I did order the extra small size(22 inches)dome though.

In my case Carol didn't have those considerations with me...

and that's why if I spend about $50 bucks, I may have a decent wood block... and I would like to emphasize the word MAY, because I haven't ask for a budget yet

P.S.: What's wrong with Carol?! hahaha.
