  1. I thought it was just the outline shape of the shield as well but the image he sent as an example the top of the shield is "puckered" not really sure how else to articulate it...I'll try and upload the pictures he sent me....
  2. Thank you, sorry if this was the wrong forum
  3. Thank you very much!! That's the way I usually do it, had no idea about prefixing a search with image. I learn something every day! Lol
  4. Same here lol. But my original question was about making the, as it was described to me as a "boston style" shield not necessarily a shield from Boston. Personally I didn't know there were different styles
  5. Never knew that about starting with image, even after what 20 years of googling lol. Thank you
  6. Does anyone have any leads they could point me towards on making a Boston style firefighter helmet shield? I was contacted on Facebook about making one. Not going to lie, I have a list longer than my leg of things I want to make and shields are on there but haven't as yet had a chance to do so. Any help to figure out if it's something I can manage would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
  7. I've taken a shot at dopp bags a couple of times but they never come out worth a damn especially if I try to do the lining. Wish mine came out half that good...I should also mention that mine are hand sewn so maybe that's a reason too, idk...

  11. Thank you! Definitely something I wouldn't have thought to do, thank you. Thank you!

    That's EXACTLY what it is too!!
  16. Here is a keychain design I was playing around with and after I finished it, all I could see was a certain animated starfish running. I posted it anyway and pointed out what it ended up looking like to me and someone commented that they saw something else...that something else is the second keychain. Just goes to show sometimes inspiration comes from out of nowhere to bite you in the butt lol 😆 Ok pictures decided to reverse on me. Brown keychain was what I started with, and the black was the "inspiration" keychain.
  17. Thank you! Thank you!
  18. Thank you!
  19. Thank you! One of AL Stohlman's books. Might have been how to carve or his holster book. Sorry don't really remember off the top of my head
  20. Thank you. I just followed the pattern I'll probably make my own changes along the way at some point lol
  21. Thank you. I figured the "fancy" Chicago screws added a bit of flair rather than just plain ones. Thank you.
  22. Thank you.
