Akruba bash

Post by AnObtainerNamedIndy »

Hello there!

Considering purchasing a Fed IV, and am a bit apprehensive about the creasing. The Vendors page states this:

For those who may be apprehensive of doing this, we have a tutorial and a whole message board in place to assist you.

Can someone help me find this thread? What would be the best way to get a Raiders bash?

Thanks. :TOH:

Can't find the Hattery tutorial, but here are a few other YouTube tutorials that should help (including a few from expert Herbert Johnson hatter Michelle):

Creasing an Indy style isn't hard. Just take your time, check the mirror often to be sure you're getting the center dent actually centered, and you should be fine.

Solid quality felt like Akubra uses on the Fed IV is pretty forgiving, tough to ruin, and you can always start over and do it again if it doesn't come out quite right.
