![]() ![]() Please follow the links below for more information about Akubra hats and related items. Our choice for the Adventurer is the Indy Bash, a modified fedora bash. For the Slouch, we prefer the traditional Australian Army choice of a center crease. The Campdraft, is well suited to both the open telescope and pinched telescope bashes. The choice is yours - try several different bashes and select the look you like best. The front of the brim is usually snapped down, and often two side dents are put near the front (2). The top of the dome should normally be about level with the top of the sides, a little above the top of the back. The inside of the pushed in top is then raised into a domed shape so that it does not touch the head, leaving a valley between the dome and the sides. The front should be one half inch to one inch higher than the rear (1). To form a pinched telescope first push in the top to form a triangular shape pointed towards the front with the section towards the back rounded to the shape of the crown. The front of the brim is usually snapped down (2). It is usually preferred to have the top of the dome about the same level as the top of the sides. Then just measure out from the edge or a center line on the Masonite and mark each distance from the center, tip to tail. The inside of the pushed in top is then raised into a uniform dome so that it does not touch the head, leaving a valley between the dome and the sides. If you add slices every 3 to 6' in AKU Shaper, you can use 'print screen to print an 8x11 copy on your printer. ![]() To form an open telescope first push in the top of the crown evenly all round. The front, sides and back should all be the same height (1). The Bushman, shown here with an open crown, is a traditional hat of the Australian Outback, most commonly worn with an open or pinched telescope bash. Two longish dents are made in the sides near the top, and the brim is turned down all round. Safari BashĪ variant on the center dent style is the traditional safari bash. ![]() The brim may be snapped down in the front, as shown at the right on the Squatter. This is the traditional bash for the classic Fedora shaped Sydney. A common addition to this bash is a pair of small dents at the sides near the front. The dent is usually best made the same height in the front as in the rear. The simplest bash is a dent on the top from front to rear. Please view our video snippet for a demonstration of how to shape your open crown Adventurer to an Indy bash: This not only avoids shrinkage problems, but also lets you try out the preliminary shape and change it if needed. The better way for those who are not hat makers is to put in a preliminary shape, then when the hat is damp from the rain adjust it to the desired final shape and let it dry. The Akubras with an open crown, such as the Adventurer, Campdraft and Sydney, allow you to put your own personal bash or crease in the crown.Ī hat maker would use steam to make the shape permanent but steam may also shrink the felt. Instructions for bashing your hat are given below and in our Hat Manual (pdf). I had bought templates for 5 m wood boat.that took 500 hrs to build.We are pleased to offer a number of Akubra hats with open crowns, for those of you who still want an individualized bash. Totally do- able.I've done it back in pre CnC days, actually pre computer days. Other way is to print out on many peices of paper, tape together, glue them to masonite and cut with jigsaw and then file or sand them down to line. I am arranging parts on the 4x8 masonite for the CnC machine. The templates are too long, so the outline and profile curves have to be split in half lengthways to fit. so I create an artboard ( page size) that is 4x8 and place the template outlines on the artboard. ![]() This cannot be cut out of a 4x8 ft sheet of masonite. Then I know they are clean.Īt this point I have profile ( side view of rocker and deck) and outline ( top view) of entire board. So I just use the imported dxf curves as guides and redraw them in illustrator. You can tell the math is getting corrupted. I have found that curves can be converted to line segments, which are not accurate.Īlso, the curves are really messy, segmented and lots of control points. When I export the 3d files from solid works or Shape 3d, I then open those files in Illustrator. ![]()
