been wanting to do this for a while now. Got a small crack in my welding helmet. Like any true man with mad can do anything skills, i put a piece of duct tape over the crack. I work outside and i'm very, very tough on this helmet. So we'll see how well this holds up.

Used one of those cheap shoulders ????-02 they always have on sell at TLF, you now the ones that are like $20. Used all Tandy's eco-flo dyes, so we'll really see how they fare in the elements.

From one welder to another, that's AWESOME! Great job on the coasters too. The horse shoe holder was a great idea as well!

The "wasteland look" is about all that can be accomplished with those horrible $20 single shoulders! laugh.gif Don't get me wrong, I'm a faithful Tandy customer, but that leather is some rough stuff. Which makes your welding helmet an even more impressive accomplishment! Congrats! trumpet.gif

And those coasters look fantastic. What did you use to achieve the color?

Nice work, my friend.

Thanks Bryan !! The horse shoe idea was kind of a easy one for this one. She's got a few other things that are made out of shoes.

Thanks Storm! I love doing this type of dye job when i get the chance.

Nice work, my friend.

Thanks Alex! Color on the coasters ? I dyed the background "dk cocoa brown" then just used gel antique "tan". Pretty simple really and fast.

Thanks welder5724, It's only attached by the headgear attachment bolts. It's more of a cover or faceplate. I may go back and add a few Chicago screws if needed. I didn't want to glue it or anything like that,just incase i ever have to take it off.
