Bashing -- tutorial pics are down

As a newbie, I am looking for some of those "how to do an Indy bash" tutorials, but on the Fedora FAQ sticky and elsewhere on the Web (for example, the links in the FAQ for how to see the different Indy hat shapes and places on the Web to see how to achieve those bashes), the sites are either down or the pics aren't there. In fact, a lot of the pics are not viewable in many postings. Can someone point me to a working tutorial on bashing and also someplace that discusses some of the distinctives between say the Idol Grab bash, the Raven Bar bash, the Well of Souls, etc.? Thanks.

Welcome, JJT! Unfortunately, the chap who let us use those pics no longer has the links working, so we cannot reload those images. However, if you look around the fedora section, you'll come across several other resources.

Is there a way to rebash a wool felt hat? Just wondering because I don't think steam would take too well with my wool-felt.

Read the kettle-bash method. It doesn't make use of steam. But regardless, I don't think there really is a way to rebash wool. That's why it's advisable to go for fur. :junior: -IJ

fatwoul, it may feel a bit intimidating to bash a brand new, open crowned hat if you've never done so before, but don't be afraid of it. After a couple minutes you'll start getting a feel for it. Besides, the Akubra will take a LOT worse than someone bashing it into shape.

OB1al - This page seems to be defunct? At least, it won't load. I just got my first fedora, a vintage Stetson, and I'm trying for the Raiders creasing.

I took down all my hat pics long ago when I was accused of faking them.
I've since disassociated myself from that old tutorial. I have got one hat, an AB, and it's not styled as a Raiders hat. I use it as my Doctor Who hat.

Why on earth would anyone want to do that?
I use it as my Doctor Who hat.
I'd like to see a picture of that. I've been knitting a 4th Doctor scarf for the past month or so and hope to have it done in time to wear this winter.

I continued to trip, over mine.

Thanks for the link, Aeris_Canon.
The process seems so simple...

New guy first post...
Aeris, you might want to go back and change all the text to black. There were several imnportant lines of instruction that I had to highlight to see.
I'm new to the hat world and am waiting on my first fedora to arrive, a '50s vintage Cavanagh from Ebay. I'll probably be getting an Akubra Fed soon.
