That was 2004 as Silver Belly Beaver Blank. I appreciate kniowing your hands righ along with that Beaver Build that felt blank.

[@5naxalotl]

when was this shot? my information was that nobody made Cavanagh edges after the late eighties

[@bradbowers5306]

2017. You’re right, they haven’t been made since the ‘80s, except for the samples Richard Beene made for me about 20 years ago.

[@MattDeckard]

Great vid! Good jobS

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

Surprising none of the workers are wearing ear protection.....It's as noisy as hell in that factory.

[@rayrock23]

what?

[@secretagentmandanV2]

Very cool and informative. He said they have some chinchilla fur and other exotic fur they make felt. I wonder where the beavers come from? Farmed or hunted in the US? Beaver is native to the Americas

[@crunchnmunch500]

Thanks, Ive been looking for a video like this for a long time. Does this company sell blanks?

[@bradbowers5306]

Yes, that's their primary business. They sell blanks to custom hatters around the country.

[@brokesaturdays8347]

Brad Bowers I intended to ask if they sell non bulk to individuals?

[@faitan8800]

Brad Bowers So they didn't sell blanks to other countries?

[@Cosmicnomadzaa]

No hearing protection ?

[@edwardcooper6016]

Would like to make a fur hat some day

[@nahimnalieldelacruzdelfin]

Please contact us to ask if they sell the pure hair per kilo, for the manufacture of handmade hats. In addition to the bells to make hats. I am very interested please. Thanks good video ..

[@bradbowers5306]

The fur they bring in from Europe, so I don't think they would sell it. They don't keep blocks (bells) at this factory, other than the initial formers

[@user-im9xq7fp5r]

100 percent of staff have preconditions. wow.

[@skumbuzomnisi8809]

I would like to learn how to make beaver felt hats, any schools you can recommend?

[@curtisgibbs8529]

ask TRUMP

[@claudiopellerito2878]

How can I contact them?

[@Beef5]

Im way into bleached beavers!

[@pickingflowers]

This Factory is an imposition for the workers . 🥺

[@Deploracle]

How can you tell? They keep coming back the next day ... despite the imposition.

[@johnfurr8779]

No longer taking on new customers. A huge shame... It looks like I'll have to buy European made bodies

[@Liehsc]

That work area looks pretty dirty.
