Dimensional Chopping Help needed for my Indy Miller Hat - Please!!

Gee guys I am sure learning alot about hat making! Ok, I now have a Indy Miller size 7-5/8 with a 5-1/2" plus crown and 2-3/4" brim.

It's been suggested that I dimensionally chop 1/4" off of the brim to 2-1/2" on the sides leaving the full 2-7/8" as per the original Raiders HJ.

I have carefully read Patterson's notes and have my razor blade, stanley knife, Exacto-Knife, Shears, and French curve art the ready.

I understabd from his photograph where to start and end the trim cut. What still don't quite understand exactly the exact "angle of the dangle" of the blending cut that makes it all smooth again. Does anyone out have there any pictures of the actual dimensional cuts being made?

Maybe I'm stupid or something, but this seems to be something that's actually harder to explaion than actually do, without some very explicit pix....

Help please befor I destroy my Indy Miller.

Thanks,

Tony
