Fire Fighting Templates

[RParson]

I have only made a few shields.. I used one of my old shields as the template.

[Slim Pickens]

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!

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.

Any patterns for the radio holster? I'd like to make mine rather than use the departments

[Dgriffin32]

I am interested in any sort of patterns that you have! I make shields and radio straps also

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.

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

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!

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.
