hi all, I’m slowly building my Millinery tool kit. I have purchased a hat block, steamer and capelines, finally. I want to start blocking a hat this week. It’s a fedora style block, I’m wondering if any of you have used a make shift pusher downer? Or any items you would suggest I can use until I am able to purchase a legit wooden one?

also any other make shift or alternative tools for the time being? 

Thank you so much!
