"Boston style" helmet shield...

[Chux]

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!!

Well . . .  if you google . . . "image:  boston mass firefighter helmet shield" . . . you should get something near 20 pages of information.

Google is your friend when wanting to see something . . . just start with the word "image"

May God bless,

I did not know about starting with "image". I always just go to https://images.google.com/

Learned a new trick. Easier to just start with "image".

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

There is a shop in Kansas City MO - Fitzwater Leather.  He is an active duty firefighter and does leatherwork.  He focuses on shields and has made tons of them around the country.  Reach out to him.  He would be happy to help, if he has what you need.

Another tip on searches. Most search engines have tabs under the search field. The first one is usually "All" this is the default tab, the second is usually "Images". Click on that an it'll show you the image search.

That's the way I usually do it, had no idea about prefixing a search with image. I learn something every day! Lol

I moved your post to Patterns and Templates.  Of all the different forums, this seems to be the best fit.

I looked around a bit and "Boston" seems to be the shape of the shield. I saw "Metro", "LA", "New York".
