If you used the fed as a raw body did you have to use a flange too to get the brim right?
Or were you basically reblocking the fed on a different block than it had originally been blocked on?

Nice! Good to see that the felt can take it as well. Good old Aussie hare!

Holt, that hat looks too dang good! How about I send you a brand new fed and you reblock it for me on that magic block of yours?
What size did you say it was again
?
Seriously though, would you mind putting up some more pics of your block with measurements? I've found a vintage block I'm considering purchasing, but would love to be able to compare it to yours first.

That's ok....
of course you could just repost the pics you took off page one..
They're small.....but they'd give us all a rough idea..
Or were you basically reblocking the fed on a different block than it had originally been blocked on?
What size did you say it was again 
?
