FirefighterCraig Report post Posted January 29, 2010 Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to leatherworking - about a year and a half. I found this site today, it’s great! I'm a firefighter who makes leather fire helmet shields and radio straps for other firefighters in my spare time. I've got lots to learn, and hope to pick up some new skills and advice here! If you want to see what I do, you can visit my web site: www.firefightershields.com Thanks for looking. Craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKRay Report post Posted January 29, 2010 Nice work, Craig. You guys in the US have leatherworking opportunities denied to us on this side of the pond. Our fire services are pretty reserved about uniform. Such a shame! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you from Charlotte? Thanks everyone. Yes. Just south of Charlotte. I'm fairly new to the radio straps. Would you treat a dyed/painted strap with neatsfoot oil then an acrylic top coat?
