Very nice Aaron! And timely too as I am looking for a hatrack design. You can add pics to your post any time and I would really like to see it without the hats. Please.

Hope the pictures help. I included a close up of the actual racks. Each is made from 5 pieces because I didn't have any boards wide enough to make it one piece. The pieces are pocket hole screwed and glued on the back side. A biscuit jointer would probably work better, I just don't have one.
I measured my widest crown and brim hat and developed the dimensions for the racks from that, making sure to leave enough space between hats and between the hat brim and back of the rack. Let me know if you would like any more information.

Thanks Aaron, Those pics are exactly what I was looking for. I may saw those out on the bandsaw and avoid the joinery altogether as I have some really wide boards.

Added to favorites.

That's a really neat project. Most folks don't understand that a cowboy hat needs it's own kind of rack to keep the shape. I really like it. May have to copy your design. Good job

Although I don't have a cowboy hat, I know many who wear one. This would make a great present.

Very nice. Not too many people with winter cowboy hats here in Wisconsin, but I still enjoy this project.
Well done.

Cool build and great design. Beautiful barn wood and natural finish. That will definitely keep those cowboy hats in great shape.
