Fire department radio pouch

[JNewkirkct]

Made this for a former coworker, has a microphone clip on personalized strap, flashlight holster and IAFF logo

Where did you get your IAFF stamp?

Thanks and looks great

Thank you! Guy on eBay makes them, he also does maker stamps, star of life etc, they're laser cut plastic, but they hold up well in the arbor press.  I'd prefer metal ones but they're grossly overpriced

Nice work! Did you make the pattern for the radio pouch?

Thanks, I loosely followed the design that we carry on the job but my buddy didn't like the black, it's also larger than what we carry because he works for a private ambulance service and they use much larger portable radios

Fire88,

i can send you a scaled pattern if you're interested

Looks great! Judging by the stamp it is likely awlivers. If memory serves he/she is an ebay dealer for Studio-N here on the forum.   My opinion is that the radio holster pattern development is the greatest hurdle a fire leather business must overcome. Everything else is just learning by repetition.

nice work! i make radio holders for a company called Green Valley Products.  They are made out of nylon tho.... not as slick as the one you have shown us. Did you laser engrave the lettering on the strap, then fill it? Or....

Nice work and design. 2 things I noticed though. 1, the mic strap should be up higher to the shoulder so they don't need to unclip it to talk and 2. When doing the name, you pressed too hard on the arbour press handle because you can see the square from around the letter.

Those are hand stamped and painted
