Schultzt Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I'm a firefighter who recently got transferred and decided to make a new leather shield for my helmet. 500 dollars in tools later it was finished and friends and family are finding all kinds of stuff for me to do. I think my first project turned out fine but I know it can be way better. I'm excited about learning the trade and continuing to improve my craftsmanship. Here's my first project. All pointers are welcome. Other than it turning out like cardboard I'm pretty happy with it. Also, I used a water stain and not a dye. We will see how it holds up.
