Heavy Duty S.F.A. masks FS

[rancid badger]

Prices dropped

BOTH SOLD pending funds

I've made these as no nonsense, heavy duty replacements, for the standard masks supplied with GB S.F.A's

I've made them from very stiff and solid, Mexican tooling hide, 3.5mm veg tan ( a right buxxer to cut but extremely tough)

I haven't wasted time stitching these, as they just don't need it.
Glued then riveted, with solid copper saddlers rivets.

Not exactly pretty but well up to the job

First one is the "prototype":

The rivets are a bit oversize and it was my first attempt but the result is very robust.
SOLD pf

Next up:
This one has the right size rivets, same build just looks more in proportion.

Great work Steve

Lovey stuff RB!

Thanks all, I've been planning on getting to grips with saddlers rivets for ages, specifically to make my axe masks safer and more durable.

I cocked up with the size of rivets and how much to trim them off on the first ones, but I'm about where I need to be now.

anyway, I just thought I'd see if anyone wanted to upgrade, to something that should last as long as their axe

They are bomb proof, which is what I was after but the Mexican veg tan is murder to cut!:tapedshut

cheers

Price includes delivery, no interest?

Steve - I need a replacement for my Wetterlings Large Hunter - similar size to an SFA - reckon it'd fit?

 

[rancid badger]

Red I'm sorry,I really have no idea
They are deliberately quite stiff and fit "chin first" requiring a little squeeze as the top edge of the blade goes home.

Wish I could be more help
