Club Obi Wan

I have a wedding coming up for a friend. I wish I had the money, and time, to buy a new Penman, but I don't. I ordered a carbon grey Fed IV, and I really want to bash it into a 6 point bash. Does anyone know a tutorial on how to do this by chance? Or point me in the right direction please?

Thanks ahead of time guys!

I don't have videos or anything. I just boiled water over my stove and bashed it the way I saw the pictures until I was happy with it....... right now my fed is a 4 point diamond crease, so I can't image 6 point is that hard.


I'm sure there's more qualified bashers out there that can help out....

Call me tomorrow and I'll talk you though it.

Thanks for talking to me about this today. Will call when hat is in hand.

Anytime, I'm always around to help out.

6-point? I've seen a 5-point, but 6... very interesting.

Check out penmanhats.com and look at "The Penman". I want one so bad, but I can't afford it currently, nor have the time to wait. I have a new suit being made, and really want a dark grey fedora for the wedding I am attending. Maybe John can make me one as a present simply for being some #### attractive.

What does that even look like?

Huh. Never noticed that before. Without zooming in, it looks like a 4-point diamond. It has a very hand-bashed look to it, which is cool.

This is the hat they're talking about:

Thanks a lot John! John helped me over the phone, and with pictures to do my very first 6 point diamond bash!

Gotten it more defined at this point to, but this is a pic from when I was pretty close to done.

Serious thanks John, and I didn't even have to pay

Well done. Looks great.

Alright, I kept working on it, and here are the results. Love this bash!

Splendid..

Looks great!

Nice job.
