from this i learn not to broke stuff easily bcoz some thing are so hard to make and takes someone work for days also the hat look very fresh to use after you add some leaf there👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, very beautiful cone hat you did. I like it very much. But can you teach me how to make it in detail? Can you make a video tutorial on how to make cone hat in detail, please? Thanks.
I always wanted to do this with the reeds in the slough on the farm, but I couldn't see the geometry! This showed me exactly the step I couldn't figure out myself. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, I will try to make one with other fibers if I don't find bambioo. those hats provide good separation from fiber heat instead those cowboy type hats
@@BambooWoodworkingArt in my country (Spain) straw crafts are decreasing either. Thank you for your effords. Hope you doing well. Sorry for my English. 🤙😅
Hi, im Young and had the desire today to learn something from an older and by chance saw ur video. I think down these things that are recyclables for the planet mas people who use it, but seeing you making this show ms the value of this, i Always loved sustainable materials for the planet, but think is untylish sometimes, in peoples, but i loved the hat SO MUCH! now i want só bad these Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with me/us!!! Sorry im not an english speaker. Tried my best 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Their very difficult to ship, and people often think it's "cultural appropriation" so there's not enough margins to import them. You can usually buy cheap plastic imitations at the dollar store though.
I have a stand of incense bamboo in my garden. I think I'll make one of these hats with it. I notice you use bamboo pieces cut from between nodes. Does this method work with bamboo species with shorter internode lengths?
You'll just have a smaller diameter hat: use the longest pieces you have in the center and use shorter pieces as you move towards the edges. Your diameter will be limited by the longest piece you have, assuming you don't run out of "longish" pieces too quickly.
The fibers do run through the nodes from ground level to the tip of the culm(the term for the pole part). You just have to shave the side of the node where you cut off the branching shoot, if there is one, because the branching shoots contain fibers from the culm.
@@David-bc4rh Ya I suppose that would work, but the fibers don't run straight so you'll manually be shaving the width of every single one... that'll be a lot of additional work, but it would work.
@@wilfdarr I have a jig that's just a block of wood with a groove that lets a bamboo split through, and another grove for my pocket knife to remain steady while I pull the bamboo through the knife cuts a mostly uniform width. It's easy to make a non-adjusting jig for that one width you can use.
The first part is basic weaving. You work your way out but make sure you don't go too close to the edge. Then you fold it into a cone and start the same weaving process from tip of the cone, using the edge strands, fusing it together. Last part is just folding the rough edges on the exterior back in onto themselves, and securing them in the weave. This was my observation.
Fishing, gardening, anything in the sun where there's a high probability of getting it dirty. It's so weird that in the westwe've gotten used to wearing a gross baseball cap all summer instead of these much more disposable hats: it you get it dirty, you throw it out and make a new one while you sit in the boat waiting for fish to bite!
