H.J. Slijpers (American Falconers Club Journal 1950's)

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

Does anyone have (on the otherside of the pond) a copy of the "American Falconers club Journal" that contains the original H.J. Slijper's "Canon" on his Anglo Indian hood? Its a 1950's issue I believe......

I have the book "North American Falconry & Hunting Hawks" by Beebe & Webster (fantastic book BTW) that contains a version of this hood but I am told that its "innacurate" to the original .... i dont now why.

If by some good luck someone does have a copy of the journal ..... would you be kind enough to "scan" the article and send via my e-mail address please :)

This is a hood made from his pattern @ 47mm behind the eye and it IS the best fitting hood that Sabs has had on yet! I think @ 46mm it would be spot on.

Hi All

Just finishing a group of "Slijper" Hoods, the sewn hood sitting on the block with plain glued hoods below in various stages of completion. Each of the hoods weighs in at 10g or 3/8oz and the sizes shown are large Pere Tiercel or Male Gos or weight of 1lb 5oz.

[Fawkes]

very nice.. I think the stitching adds something to it, Your hoods look great! (as usual) :D

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

Some detail.....

http://www.m-jhoods.co.uk/images/Slijper/Slij8.JPG

[Fawkes]

Griff, what kind of leather are you using for the lining around the bottom? Just some thinner calf hide (maybe... 2oz? - trying to learn my leathers :P)? I like the look of this and am thinking about trying it on an anglo-indian hood instead of a throatlash.

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

Just made this one for Sabs...as a Posh hood :)

Snake skin with 0.9mm Kangaroo backing.

No problem Griff, Just to add to Griffs previous comments the 'Slijper' hoods, this is the best fitting hood I’ve ever had (really) the hood clears the gape perfectly and the falcon is very comfortable wearing it extra room for the eyes also compaired to a dutch hood. Really nice hood and excellent service as usual many thanks. Mike

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

griff you have pm

[Peregrine1]

well I would like to thank Griff for putting up with me, my son Big Joe Joe (14) my granson thomas(2). He made us all really welcome I should imagine he is about now putting his house back together :o) The hood fitted the tiercel spot on and the finish superb. Its easy to see Griff as gone that extra yard to make sure all his hoods are made to a high stanard and reflect true quality. Now lad and lasses that are hopefully picking up Perlins up from me this season, and are struggling to find or get a hood to fit. Griff's is the chap, come to think of it for any other falcon or hawk that requies a hood Griffs the chap.

No problem :) Will keep some Lizard Tail aside for u...will be getting pics of the fit of the Kes hood and will post as soon as I get them.

[Fawkes]

Griff, could you tell me what thickness of leather you use for the turks knot and rolled edge? Or is that a trade secret ;) ?

[GriffMJ]

Griff, could you tell me what thickness of leather you use for the turks knot and rolled edge? Or is that a trade secret ;) ?

Hi ...no secret just common sense .... you use the thickness of leather relative to the hood you are making :) So....if you are making an Eagle hood from 3-4oz leather...then the top knot would be made from 2-3oz ....being a slightly smaller guage of leather ....apply that principle and the top knot will always work for you :) But in the case of the Kestrel hood for example you have to use a manageable thickness for the purpose.

[Claire]

it actually fits better than the picture suggests, she grabs the hood and pulls at it though, which is what she had done in the pic.

[GriffMJ]

Hi Claire

I take it that its the first time she has been hooded then...lol I had a chuckle about what you said in your e-mail....reminisent of Saker-Clives Perlin when I first saw him in "other" hands.... he played dead for 30 mins next to his block.....then when he got fed up with it just poppped onto his block as though nothing had happened..

[Claire]

its not the first time shes been hooded, but it was the first time I have hooded her. pretty sure she has only been hooded when already cast before, shes a pretty calm bird generally, last time I changed her equipment I did it without a hood. It was kind of funny though once the hood was on she put her wings out and her head down she really didn't like it bless her.

[Gaz]

Heres Snoopdog,Tiercel,with his new hood...got to say i like these,the bird is so comfortable in it,very quickly..cheers Griff....meet the Partridge slayer...hopefully:confused: ..(will post better pics soon):!:

[GriffMJ]

Hi Gaz

Looks a great fit :) His gape and nares are a bit wider thatn the average Tiercel... also his head size is very close to "Barbary" size. On average a 46S would be the size ....but the wide gape 43S looks spot on :) Looking forward to some better pics in the daylight!

[GriffMJ]

Hi Gaz

I have not seen that one by Ellis...it definatley a Slijper hood though. Not seen that as a print? Would like to have that one on the wall at home.... has he got a website?

[GriffMJ]

[Gaz]

Whats the one behind the yellow peril made of Griff:?: :supz:

[GriffMJ]

Hi Gaz

Some sort of snake....its the same skin as "PeregrinesUK's" hood for his Pere Falcon. The one your talking about would fit a Lanner....the one at the back middle is the same skin...just different part of the snake.... that would fit a Pere falcon and is going to another forum member tomorrow :)

The "Yellow Peril" would fit a Barbary falcon.... stunning little hood.... :)

[Matt]

hello griff that article i sent you payed off then!!
shame you could not have returned the favor and sent that hood patern i asked for in return.

Hi Matt

Not the article.... but the software from "the Modern apprentice" :) I have had to tweak the patterns to get a correct fit... but yes...they make a great fitting hood ;)

Hi All

***NEW***
Slijper Hoods with Gore-tex Eye panel vents :) Allowing the eye to breath and take away moisture from the inside of the hood. Placed just behind the eye.
http://www.m-jhoods.co.uk/images/Slijper/GoreTex/GTS1.JPG

[GriffMJ]

And the inside :) All flattened and smooth.... with the Gore-Tex "bubbled" toward the outside of the hood.

http://www.m-jhoods.co.uk/images/Slijper/GoreTex/GTS2.JPG

[OutFlying]

Do you think it will make a great difference over a normal leather slipper design ?

I know gortex is breatheable but you still sweat buckets when you wear a gortex jacket and it's warm.

Jim.

[Afshimo]

Please could you send me, or someone, anyone! Send or copy, e-mail post or something with the hood pattern, as there's no way it is going to download lol. Please!

Hi Jim

This Gore-Tex is taken from my old Military bivvy bag..... I used to kreep into my maggot... **** wet through.... and by morning I would be dry. Granted with excercise Gorte-tex still has trouble getting rid of excess moisture... but I would say that its use in the hood is perfect.... birds dont sweat :)

[Berkut]

Griff,
You,re getting QUITE good at making hoods.!!!!
I may be tempted to buy one !!!!

Hi Griff,
The hoods are a thing of beauty. Just a note on the slijper pattern for those who can't get the software to work. We found out when we were kids that the pattern in N.A. Fanconry and Hunting Hawks is pretty accurate, it's just the math that's wrong. We used to take the pattern to the local print shop and enlarge or reduce to fit the eye measurement. Much easier today with PC's and scanners. Final product might take a little tweak but not much.

Cheers Jeff :) I downloaded that software without a problem? I can think why others should be having a problem? The only thing I can think of is that the *.zip file is getting corrupted somehow when people download it!?

[GyrXPeales]

Yeah Griff it worked fine for me to. Technology is a wonderful thing when it works, but it sure sucks when it doesn't.
Later,

I look forward receiving my hoods from Griff the Slijper ones. One for female spar and one for female saker. They were posted last week so i guess i will receive them this week. It is just a fact that Griff makes great hoods. Can not wait to try them will make some picture with the spar and saker hooded as soon as possible. But probably have to wait till completion of moults.

[Tim Laycock]

Have fun trying to hood the spar Wilfred :lol:

At least you can be happy in the knowledge that you have the best hood for the job

[Sandeep]

Hi Griff

I have always rated the Anglo India hood superior than any other type of hood. The Dutch is very ornamental.... But the Anglo Indian fits the bird like no other type of hood...

Your hoods are the best that I have seen .... VERY NICE... :supz: :supz: :supz:

This is my opinion.... so please no mails from anyone explaining why other hoods are superior...:-)

Well no...fact is I already have about 4 gloves and still use only one since it is just my favourite glove. Should that one be lost or whatever, i still have the other 3 which are almost unused. And by this 4 I mean the normal hawk/falcon gloves. I also have some small glove for spar. And might make some by my own as spare.

Hi MM

Fem Redtail is a size 60S normally.... so I can do you a glued one if your unsure about the size fit... and go for a posh one as soon as we have confirmed the size :) if you look back a couple of pages on this thread you will see a Cherry Red one I did a couple of weeks ago for another RT :D

[MoltenMetal]

ok cheers griff thats fine

[Sprout]

Cheers Griff, nice meeting you yesterday and thanks for your hospitality. If anyone wants a hood that "REALLY" fits, see Griff, I was sceptical at first prefering Dutch hoods but I'm converted. I've always tried to buy the best I could for my birds, from now on I'll only be buying Griff's hoods. He was starting to be abit of a tit with his old hood which fitted Ok-ish, in 24hours with his new Slijper hood he has stopped that and is perfect to hood again. Can't wait to get him going now!!!! And for Barbaryboy, throws your theory out of the window, he is the steadiest, well mannered eyass I have ever had the pleasure to man (so far any way!) - thanks also to Colin (Falconquester)

Fitting a Slijper hood for the first time.... if you have not used one before..... can be a bit tricky in so far as "understanding" the fit. What I normally tell people is to have the braces open just wide enough so it will slip over the head....... when its on.... gently close them a little..... then push the hood right back over the cere so that the point of the cere triangle is just off the cere..... this will then let everything else fit into place ie the soft gape not being covered etc.... once you have got this fit then close the braces fully.... ensuring that all is "equal" looking around the gape..... then get a water bottle spray and lightly spray the front of the hood so that you can see the water "bleed" into the edges of the gape..... this will have the action of "Moulding" any pressure points to the nares and cere giving a very comfortable , light tight, correctly fitting hood..... spray the hood once or twice more to ensure that comfortable fit...... and dont be afraid of getting water on the hood...... you will find that after a short period of time with use that the Slijper hood will naturally take the shape of your raptors head giving an even more comfortable fit and "Easy" hooding..... my Slijper hood for Hamish will stay on his head without the braces done up..... and even a good shake will not get it off Be aware also that if the bird has just eaten and then hooded that bits of food might get wiped onto the edge of the beak opening...... if this dries and is not cleaned off ..... it could cause an abrasion to the nares.

Some other benefits:

The Slijper Hood defeats "Turtle-necking" .... when the falcon becomes a bit more "dodgy" as confidence grows.
The neck band .... initially a close fit..... relaxes into the correct position for large castings to take place through the hood.
The more used the hood ... the better the fit..... and the longer the hood is used the more firm the leather becomes..... so initially its starts out "soft" and then hardens over time with the moisture continually being absorbed by it..... giving the "moulding to shape" qualites. Particularly beneficial for new birds.
