In this video tutorial I show how I make a fire helmet name strap. These are very useful for displaying names on the backs of the helmet so that firefighters can be more easily identified. Helmet straps are also useful for holding accessories such as door chocks or a flashlight loop.
I hope this video gives yall some ideas and perhaps answers some questions about how to get started.

Cool last name. Have been debating getting one of these but seeing the same last name it gives me a better idea.

@stellarfirefighter5318 3 года назад

You just gave me the idea of using a cheap garage sale leather belt to make one. Thanks!

@TexasForever-tw8ko 5 лет назад

Mr.Carter. I’m going to need more videos. You constantly give me new ideas for projects for myself to make both for my fire gear and for personal enjoyment

Great video man. Im hoping to have a break in orders soon to make myself one! Good problem to have I guess. I noticed that your sewing machine leaves marks from the grooves on the foot. I had the same problem with mine when I first got it. I took the foot off and filed down the grooves then glued some rubber on it for grip. Works absolutely great and no foot marks that way!

@skylineleathercompany 5 лет назад

Very nice Austin. I like the idea for using the rubber for the backside. Have you ever used fully drum dyed leather before?

@AttackLineLeather 5 лет назад

Thank you. No I haven't. I need to look into that. Does Springfield leather sell it?

@skylineleathercompany 5 лет назад

Yes, that’s where I buy it. I usually get 6-7 oz bends. www.springfieldleather.com/Leather/Hermann-Oak-Leather/Drum-Dyed

Nice video man! New subscriber and your videos hit everything I want to do. What do you do about overage on your paint?

@AttackLineLeather 3 года назад

Thanks for the support. I dont quite understand your question. Are you asking about a protective coverage?

@TheArmysoldier2242 3 года назад

My bad dude... I was talking about painting your lettering. I saw on your c that you went out of you groove. How do you fix that?

@AttackLineLeather 3 года назад

@@TheArmysoldier2242 ah yes. If you're quick enough you can use a tooth pick and wipe it off. You can also take an edger and nip a bit of leather off too take up the paint. Youll most likely need to touch it up

@bencamire947 4 года назад

Awesome video. I am new to leather working and i am looking for some small projects for firefighting. I can not wait to try this out, if you could leave a comment of the tools/materials used it would be greatly appreciated

@AttackLineLeather 4 года назад

Welcome to the craft. For the strap I used hole punch, 1 inch letter stamps, and Chicago screws. You'll need some 8-9oz leather for the strap. Tandy sells some precut straps. And then some Eco flo paint and dye

@rdvierasr2151 3 года назад

Love your content. Why did you dyed after slicking the belt and not before slicking?

@AttackLineLeather 3 года назад

For me it is easier to apply the dye after slicking. It also gets a really nice burnish after the dye dries. You can easily dye first though

Are all the fire helmets the Same size I have some first responder buddies would like to surprise them with name strap see you use the bungee cord so is there and standard length to for strap then just take up slack with bungee? Thanks for your time

@AttackLineLeather 5 лет назад

Most of them generally are. The one I made measures 34inches. If you make one and then give them the bungie cord material they can make the appropriate adjustments

@CCPW_chicago 4 года назад

Hey bro, can you also put together an instructional PDF to print and follow? Tools needed, measurements, thread size, needle, ect? Total rookie move but MAN that'd be killer

@steweydewey2793 2 года назад

Can I ask what paints you are using to have only one coat for the letters? I have tried Angelus and Tandy eco paints and have been on average doing at least 5 coats over black stains/dyed leather straps to get the color to really stay bright ?

In this video I use eco flo but ive switched to Angelus. I use that paint applicator and just lay it on thick

No it doesn't. You may need to adjust your tensioners

Hey Mr. Carter Sir, I'm really look y takin intrest on doing leather worth, where would you recommend a guy (just starting out) to start and with what tools and resources would you recommend?!?! Thanks for your time and what ya do. Firefighter Cannon.

@AttackLineLeather 4 года назад

Howdy. Buying tools depends on what sort if leather craft you are wanting to accomplish. If you want to do basic leather crafting such as straps, belts, sheaths, cases, bags, i would start with basic cutting, stitching, and fastening tools. If you are looking into more tooling, i would start a slow progression of buying stamps, swivel knife, and maul. What are you interested in making?

@codycannon1822 4 года назад

@@AttackLineLeather thanks for gettin back to me, I'm interested in doin some of the same things you are, belts, straps, knife holsters etc. I've always kinda wanted to get into doin it, your instructional vids really inspired me so now, I ordered some of them books you was talkin about, kinda help get me goin, where do ya buy your leather and swade?
