"hat" per Webster's: "1: a covering for the head usu. having a shaped crown and brim 2a: a distinctive head covering worn as a symbol of office"

We report, you decide.

In response to a thread in Accoutrements about everyone's work being so great, and some desires to see some of the manure we can produce... Here's a few of my "nicer" failures of note.

Now that was a good post!!

I agree the hat looks better on you. I think it's a matter of having something to compare it to. :crackup:

Cheesh! It don't gotta have no brim, I don't rekon!
Mah coon skin don't got no brim, it don't got much crown either. Caps got brims and such, Coon skins have tails, caps don't, and that's me story! Think I jest might stick to it too. Maybe.

BTW.....Get your butt up here so's we can go catch us a "Tyee".

Well I must say, it looks better on ye than it does crawlin around on its own.

I still think I'd sleep better knowin it was outside the tent at night.

Man, that are one unique Frankenstein Platypus hat if ever I did see one.

I don't care what you call it, that is not a hat. I don't know what it is, but it ain't a hat!

Stumpkiller, Keith and All,

The tears are rolling off my (face) cheeks & onto the keyboard; I can't remember the last time I laughed so much! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

In Aus, we would call something like that hat(?) "Road-Kill" :crackup: :crackup:

Thanks for making me laugh so much!!! :crackup: :crackup:
Jim.

PS With all due respect to the original manufacturer (Stumbler'); I am NOT laughing at you, but I am laughing at your hat(?)!!! and it does look like road-kill!!! :crackup:

Seriously, I have enough trouble cutting up my dinner, so if I were attempt to make a hat, the finished product would be of a lesser quality than yours (if that's possible).

Lehigh (Jim)....Iff'n you can even imagine what mistakes / blunders 45 or so years of this can bring forth..........Nuff said, God created Junk Yards, and Bon Fires just for Russ, I'm convinced!

Russ,
If they are as good as "THE FRANKENSTEIN PLATYPUS HAT***" please share them with us!

S.B.,
Are you planning to put the pattern for your hat in the next issue of your magazine? If so, please include pictures. Why should we, at this forum, be the only ones to enjoy your last "project". Bet if you start a "I screwed up" section in your mag., you'd get alot more subscriptions.
Everybody likes to laugh. I've had some beuts' such as the antler powder measure with the hole that went a little too deep. Haven't been able to fill it up with powder yet. Those one pound cans just don't hold enough to fill this baby up...Thinking about buying a keg of powder next... :redthumb:
Later

for what? Target practice? no way,[url] Jose...Platy-Stein[/url] is mine all mine and will receive a decent burial when the time is right.

A Hat pattern...hmmm....do you really want ME to make a hat pattern??????? Ok, if you insist...LOL

Actually, I've made a couple of others that turned out much better. It's all in having the right pieces to begin with.

Thanks for all the support guys. You know, I think that Platy-Stein really epitomizes the title of this thread...

You'd put that on your head? :youcrazy:

 

[vradin]

You'd put that on your head?

Only because there's not enough fur to keep the other end warm. :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Stumblin', Are you still looking fer submissions to the Council Fire?
I think you might be able to write one yourself.

How NOT to make a hat. :haha:
First step, use roadkill.
:crackup:
I kill me. :crackup:

I hope my next issue doesn't get lost in the mail!

It was a beaver (at one time)

Stumblin',

Perhaps it was a NEW, or EXTINCT species of pre-mangled-Frankenstein-beaver.

:crackup: :crackup:

Jim.

PS I just couldn't help myself, I HAD to have another look!

:crackup: :crackup:

 

[BLAHMAN]

here's an ugly one for you.

this is a hat that I threw together before a winter trek this deer season. It was a beaver (at one time) and was not tanned very well, had holes in it, and was not very big to begin with. I patched it together, lined it with flannel I had lying around the shop, and sewed a bill to it from some oiled moose hide I had.

It just about burns up my head in all but the coldest temps and is one of the best items among my gear. Too bad it's falling apart constantly and needs almost daily repairs. Also, the oils in the fur repel water nicely and while I looked like a drowned rat after a brief rain storm, my it kept my wigwam...get it? wigwam? wig-warm...aw, never mind.

Actually, the hat ON your head looks pretty good compared to the picture of "IT" on that green checkered thingy! I bet you could have gotten more of a visual impact if you dropped it behind your car with you standing over it with a surprised look. The title could have been: "OH no! Fluffy the cat!!!" :haha: :haha: :haha:

 

Looks more like two animules doing the nasty and enjoyen it. :crackup: :crackup: :sorry: I couldn't resist Do like yer new avatar though! Whers the mag, it really is snail mail
