Making Vietnamese conical hats

[David Morningstar]

I think this would be of interest to the weavers and basketmakers. I found the presenter a bit annoying after a while but the skills being shown are clear and reproducible.

Thank you for the link That's an interesting video I love watching folks make things, and this is a classic example
Practical too, especially for folks working outdoors.
I can't think of any big leaves that grow here though that would dry soundly enough to make some thing like this. Mostly our history is of using rush to weave lightweight hats.
