I'd like to hear how it turned out. And I also remember yet another HJ owner who mentioned that Joe refused to do work on an HJ.
Anyway, I've already bought the hat stiffener and I have no patience, so if this doesn't work, I might send it to Joe, as well as buy a PB hat from him, but for now I've psyched myself up to do it myself. So considering that, is there anything I should keep in mind?
Thanks,
