Members RParson Posted December 26, 2013 Members Report Posted December 26, 2013 I have only made a few shields.. I used one of my old shields as the template. Quote
Members Slim Pickens Posted December 26, 2013 Members Report Posted December 26, 2013 That is what I've done so far as well... would love to have some sort of striking plate made or a technique of cutting multiple blanks at once! Quote
Members RParson Posted December 26, 2013 Members Report Posted December 26, 2013 There are companies who make custome clicker dies but what I have found is its pretty pricey. If you are making duplicates and selling then im sure its well worth it. Quote
Members FireFighter25 Posted December 28, 2013 Members Report Posted December 28, 2013 Any patterns for the radio holster? I'd like to make mine rather than use the departments Quote
Members Dgriffin32 Posted March 6, 2014 Members Report Posted March 6, 2014 I am interested in any sort of patterns that you have! I make shields and radio straps also Quote
Members gtrscarz Posted March 26, 2014 Members Report Posted March 26, 2014 I am a Volunteer Fire Fighter also new to leather. I'd Love to get any templates or patterns for both Shields and Radio Straps. The guys at the station would much appreciate it. Anything anyone can share is greatly appreciated by me. Thanks in advance. mike Quote
Members ranger7541 Posted April 20, 2014 Members Report Posted April 20, 2014 I would be very interested! Quote
Members danky01 Posted May 25, 2014 Members Report Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I want to make some shields also. I took one of my old shields and scanned it to my computer and traced the outline and the cutouts in CorelDraw. Now all I have to do is print it and I have my pattern. I would be willing to trade my pattern, if anyone is interested in trading. I know there are different sizes of shields. Are they all the same basic design and just taller? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Thanks Danny Edited May 25, 2014 by danky01 Quote
Members BDAZ Posted May 25, 2014 Members Report Posted May 25, 2014 Not to highjack this thread but I hope you guys can help. I suffered a serious bicycle crash last Saturday. I skidded on some sand and slammed into an iron pedestrian bridge at 20mph. I lost consciousness and I spent the rest of the day in the trauma unit. I was was lucky to have no broken bones, only a separated shoulder. The guys who scraped me off the pavement were kind enough to take my bike back to the fire station. I'd like to make something out of leather as a thank you but I have no ideas what so ever. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Cya! Bob Quote
Members mojo3120 Posted June 8, 2014 Members Report Posted June 8, 2014 Here's a photoshop template I use for shields. There are two styles in the psd, enable/disable the 2 different folders in the layers window. I print them on an overhead transparency with a laser printer for tracing. Print at 100%, no scaling. shield.psd.zip Quote
