I’m definitely gonna buy an outlaw leather welding hood once my Lincoln Viking 3350 fulfills it’s purpose
Not worth the money, don’t get me wrong they look amazing but they are incredibly heavy even free you change your headgear
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.
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.
Great looking mod 💯
Looks fantastic. Makes me want to model the same hood and 3d print it with a larger lens in mind.
If you do you will make a lot of money. Honestly a bigger lens in that style of hood would be fantastic!
@@alonsoiniguez2239 I have a lincoln 3350. Those lenses are great. Want to figure out a way to make the light hoods and best lens work together.
Fantastic
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+
Their crazy price is why I can't justify spending that much. I understand workmanship is gonna cost you , but when they main component of your hood is sources from china or whatever other cheap labor country you can get it from and then the part you do is put some rivets and fancy leather on it, it just doesn't feel like that is enough to make it that expensive.
How much leather do you need? Size? I've already chopped mine. It's cool but I want to chop it and add leather too. Thanks bro.
That came out sick bro! Amazing job 👏👏👏
Thank you!
It looks nice but the stiff leather how you get in a tight spot isn’t that the purpose of the leather
I made this one for show. Wanted it to look nice for a long time. The one I use is made with 1.5mm- 2mm leather and is much more malleable.
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.
Where you bought the leather from?
If anyone would like to purchase the templates to cut the helmet and the leather the like is in the description.

Great video,hood turn out really nice, What size rivets did you buy on Amazon?
They are 4mm
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.
Thank you! I use a pancake hood most of the time. Seems to be the lightest mask I have found so far.
@@skylarwagner1155 What is the average weight of pancake mask? We dont use it at all Europe, at least I've never seen them anywhere. I am really curiouse How it will work out in my job.
Mine weighs around 1 1/2 pounds ( 0.68 KG) with the lenses in it.
Where did you get the leather and the screws that you put on the hood ?
It looks very good
I got all the materials from Amazon. I sadly can not find the links to the items anymore, but they should still be on Amazon.
Thank you!
Great work 👌🏻
Bad ass job dude ☝🏼
I appreciate it!
How did you reattach the flip up? Awesome job btw…
Thanks! I drilled the rivet out and then put a new rivet in. I recommend just taping it off if possible. Is kind of a pain trying to reattach it.
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.
I made this helmet just for show. The one I use all the time is just regular leather and it’s held up pretty well. I do put leather conditioner on it often to keep it from getting tough.
How can i make reference for this leather , can you make some video tutorial sir,.
What did you use to put the hinge pins back after drilling them out
I use the ones that came with the hood. Just pushed it out one side and reused them.
Just wondering did you have a template for the bottom cut and also the bib ?
I did not have a template. I just did what I thought looked best.

is that a dark lens behind the gold plated lens?
It’s shade 11
Where did you get the brads from bro?
I got them from Amazon, just look up leather threaded rivets.
Do you have the template for the leather cut out? I want to do this to my hood
I do not. I just cut it out, where it looked the best for me.
Are the screw rivets clamped real tight?
Yes
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?
I just did what I thought would look best. I am planning on making a template to sell on my Etsy page. I’ll send you the link when I have it up.
Can u let me know asap because I’m currently making mine right now and it’s hard not having a template
Send me link once you have it

@@skylarwagner1155 thank you
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
I bought a 3’ x 3’ square of it so I would have extra for other projects.
what thread did u use so it doesnt burn up when welding
I used the wax thread that came with my leather kit.
where did you get the leather from???
Amazon
Where did you buy the leather??
I found it on Amazon.
Hi. Nice work.
How thick is leather??
Thanks
Thank you, it is about 3 mm thick
Where can I purchase that quality of leather
I got mine from Amazon.
But the best place would be Tandy leather
New subscriber here my friend.. Would you be able to show how to make a pancake welding helmet? Really great video..Thanks...
I’ve been wanting to make a pancake hood. Right now my pancake is still in good shape. With that being said once it starts looking bad I’ll make one and a video.
@@skylarwagner1155 Thank you so much my friend!!! you are awesome!!!
Why did you double layer it?
The ostrich leather was really thin and I wanted it to be durable.
Amigo que careta usaste ?
Tigerhood or pipeliner
Saludos desde mexico justo ahora estoy customizando mi máscara como la tuya
Impresionante!
@@skylarwagner1155 in Mexico we doesn’t have mask like that
How did you make the cut lines
I just guessed what would look best.

Damn bud how much to get you to do one for me?
It would be best to buy one from outlawleather.com. Thank you for the interest though!
Sell just the leather already made with fasteners. Please
I wish I could… just do not have the time to do it. The stencil is the best I can do at the moment.
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.
It would be best just to buy one from outlaw leather.
Nice job but what’s the point? I’d be willing to bet you made it heavier with no different functionality.
In my personal opinion, It looks cooler it's more breathable,the bottom of it doesn't punch you in the chest, the top doesn't get get stuck and goes all the way back, if you notice you turn an $80 hood into and $200 hood with a few cuts and some leather
Both true statements Some are heavier than the original hood but they are way cooler 😎
Where you find the bottom bib stencil???which zise of screws you used?? 1/8 or 1/4???
4mm screws and I drew the stencil.

Why do this?
It gives your neck more protection when welding. Plus it looks better than a regular tiger hood in my opinion.
Where did you get the brads from bro?
Got them from Amazon.
