Making a Leather Welding Helmet 

I’m definitely gonna buy an outlaw leather welding hood once my Lincoln Viking 3350 fulfills it’s purpose

Great looking mod 💯

Get a soft hood that has the adjustable headband in it. Take the headband out. It will drop over a hardhat and the lens wont lay on your nose. Secure to brim of hardhat with elastic loops. (from off dust masks) If you need to get into a really small hole, remove hardhat and secure on head with the elastic loops. Nice thing is that there is plenty of room for a respirator.

I have been welding for 17years,I do like these new hoods but my one complaint is that the leather does get heavy and starts to stink and you realy can't clean it once it curls.....From welding in the oilfield and for the IronWorkers/Shop work.

Fantastic

Looks fantastic. Makes me want to model the same hood and 3d print it with a larger lens in mind.

That came out sick bro! Amazing job 👏👏👏

just got the brown floral leather hood from Outlaw and i’m going to have to double layer it, the leather is of good quality but it’s thin flimsy and creases extremely easy and ive only used it 2 times, when i’m sideways the leather is so thin it folds and gives zero protection on the Side of my neck. i’m going to remove the rivets add matching piece of leather on the back side so it holds its form without it collapsing in. the design fit and finish is nice, just not thick enough leather to hold itself straight.

I just built mine tonight. It came out pretty good. Considering the entire build cost less than $40 While Outlaw Leather sells them for $150+

Great work 👌🏻

Bad ass job dude ☝🏼

Great video,hood turn out really nice, What size rivets did you buy on Amazon?

Where you bought the leather from?

It looks nice but the stiff leather how you get in a tight spot isn’t that the purpose of the leather

Where did you get the leather and the screws that you put on the hood ? It looks very good

It looks good. Gret job. My only concern about hoods like this is the weight. As a proffesional welder I look for a mask as ight as possible. Spending 8-10h with heavy leather thing on my neck seems to be bad idea.

How did you reattach the flip up? Awesome job btw…

Just wondering did you have a template for the bottom cut and also the bib ?

Hi. Nice work. How thick is leather?? Thanks

How can i make reference for this leather , can you make some video tutorial sir,.

What size leather u buy on Amazon i know u got 3mm thick I just want to know the length. Keep up the good work

Where did you get the brads from bro?

How has the form of the leather held up over the last year? I’m thinking of upgrading the leather on my hood currently and am looking at different leathers.

Are the screw rivets clamped real tight?

Looks great I'm going to try and make one. Curious how you got the dimensions for the leather is there a template out there somewhere?

is that a dark lens behind the gold plated lens?

What did you use to put the hinge pins back after drilling them out

Do you have the template for the leather cut out? I want to do this to my hood

Saludos desde mexico justo ahora estoy customizando mi máscara como la tuya

New subscriber here my friend.. Would you be able to show how to make a pancake welding helmet? Really great video..Thanks...

Where did you buy the leather??

Why did you double layer it?

Sell just the leather already made with fasteners. Please

where did you get the leather from???

Damn bud how much to get you to do one for me?

Amigo que careta usaste ?

Where can I purchase that quality of leather

How did you make the cut lines

How much to make me one? Haha seriously. Template is great and all, but I work a 6/10. No time to put this together.

Nice job but what’s the point? I’d be willing to bet you made it heavier with no different functionality.

Where you find the bottom bib stencil???which zise of screws you used?? 1/8 or 1/4???

Why do this?

Where did you get the brads from bro?
