[Setting Rivets In Difficult Places]

Yeah i use Chicago screws in the two larger holes to hold some clip with Dees. I couldn't mind setting some by hand but i am unable to figure out a good way to have a solid surface to strike against that will fit inside the holster to allow for that. I think i will try shortening up the sides so i can get the press in there. Thanks for the pointers all, really appreciate the help.

[Setting Rivets In Difficult Places]

Hi all i make firefighter radio straps and harnesses. I am having a difficult time coming up with a good design on a radio harness that i can set rivets well. The press i have is not deep enough to let me set the bottom rivets. I will attach some pictures. I am having a difficult time setting the bottom rivets in the holster. Any pointers or ideas would be great!

Thanks

[How To Make A Template?]

Hi i make leather helmet shields like the picture attached and was curious if there is a system i could use to draw them up on the computer to size to see how things would look beforehand like the second picture?

Thanks!

[Best Way To Paint/ Stain Small Designs?]

Hi guys i recently started making Firefighter Radio Straps but am having a difficult time making my stamping work look good. I will include a picture of some radio straps that look great to me and am curious the best way to get two tone color around the stamps and small designs? Do you think it is stained or painted with possible angelus paint?

Thanks

[Fire Dept Radio Belts And Holsters]

Hi great work, was curious how you painted the stamps in the last picture? did you paint the red behind the letter then the green on top? great detail work

[Firefighter Radio Strap?]

How did your radio strap turn out? Any pictures?

[What Machine Would Work Best?...]

Thank you ken appreciate the information. I will do some research into the Cobras. I also make some radio straps that are pretty much just long belts and i think a sewing machine on something like that would really save a ton of time as well.

[Best Price For Veg Tan Leather?]

Hi i make leather firefighter shields for helmets size 6"x 6" and am looking for recommendations on where to purchase Veg Tan leather? I currently have been buying 10oz belly for the front and 7oz belly for the back of my projects but am looking to buy leather by the side if its a better deal. I do not care so much about some scaring as my projects are generally small enough i can cut around any bad spots. I have been purchasing from Springfield Leather in MO and have been paying around $25 for a belly which are 4-6ft average.

Thanks!

[What Machine Would Work Best?...]

please let me know if this worked... have not posted any pictures yet and unsure if i did it correctly

[What Machine Would Work Best?...]

Hi i am a Firefighter that makes leather helmet shields, radio straps and truck belts. I am looking into purchasing a sewing machine but know VERY little about them. I use 10oz leather for the front of my shields and 7-8 oz for the back so im going through some thicker items and am unsure what machine would be good for that and easiest for some of the fine details i need to use it for as well. I will include some pictures of the work i have been hand sewing. Any input would be helpful thanks!

[How Do I Bevel Smoothly]

Cool thank you all for the tips and helpful information. Been a busy week and havent had time to sit down and practice some more but look forward to giving it some more work this week. Thank you all and ill post another picture of my next project soon!

[How Do I Bevel Smoothly]

Hi thanks for the reply. I was using a sponge to wet the leather, letting it turn back to its natural color before i began tooling it. I was curious if there are any videos showing how to walk the beveler smoothly so it does not leave the marks like it did in my project. I am tooling on a granite slab, im using a 9oz mallet from tandy leather and mostly using a B203 beveler. thanks for any pointers and ill check out that info about casing the leather thanks!

[How Do I Bevel Smoothly]

Hi i am working on making leather fire helmet shields and had a few questions. Made my first one the other day but having a hard time with the beveling with it leaving alot of uneven marks. Any suggestions on how much to wet down the leather or how to start so that its more even? not sure if im wetting the leather to much or possible not cutting my lines deep enough before i bevel? Any suggestions/ tips would be great thanks!
