rtesterman Report post Posted October 15, 2017 I know quite a few of you guys are making fire service leather items. Here is my first big order I had received, and it turned out pretty darn good. Any advice for a newbie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbrandon Report post Posted October 15, 2017 yeah one of the guys at work asked me to make them one. I've got a few orders in front of him though. Yours looks nice. Is that a patch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtesterman Report post Posted October 15, 2017 No it is hand stamped and painted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diibbles134 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Where did you get the stamp for that? But it looks very solid , very impressive. Im a firefighter, done a bunch of helmet fronts but haven't gotten into radio holders yet , next on the list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just get thinner leather or the standard 24 snap won't work. 3 hours ago, diibbles134 said: Where did you get the stamp for that? But it looks very solid , very impressive.

I have gotten some help from guys on here, and it's been great. I just have to get a sewing machine and I'll be set... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyFirefighter Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Fantastic work on painting the patch. If there's one flag that drives me nuts to paint, its MD's flag :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
