Each magazine pouch holds 3x mags, though they can each fit 2x AK or 2x G36 as well. The large GP pockets hold up to 2 quarts of water each, though internal Velcro makes adding internal organizers and pockets easy. 

I had a ton of fun and definitely have some lessons learned for the next ones.

Anyone using a dual laser for small tactical gear projects?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been messing around with making and marking some of my own gear, and I keep running into the same problem: most of what I want to do doesn’t need a fiber laser, right up until I hit a piece of bare metal.

Stuff like small tags, tool markings, hardware, or little ID plates is where my regular diode setup stops being very useful.

I ended up going with a WeCreat Lumos Flex mostly for that reason. It has a 15W diode and 15W fiber in the same module, and you switch between the two in software instead of swapping heads. I’m still using the diode more often, but having fiber there for metal has been handy.

The tradeoff is the 116 x 116 mm work area. It’s fine for the small parts I’m doing, but obviously this isn’t something I’d use for bigger panels or large projects.

Curious if anyone here is using a laser as part of their gear-making setup. What are you actually using it for? And if you have both diode and fiber, does the fiber get enough use to justify it, or is it mostly one of those “glad I have it twice a month” things?

Sewing Neoprene

Anyone have any advice or tips for sewing two neoprene sleeves together?

Need to maintain one as a sleeve. The other is cut into an open section and will be sewn as extra padding.

Help with Velcro on helmets

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on getting Velcro to go on helmets. I’m using E6000 (+) and even when I cut out some notches so the Velcro can bend, edges invariably stand up.

I e been thinking of using e6000 for most of the Velcro but do the edges in superglue since it drives fast enough that I can hold it down And get it to stick. I just know that there have to be better ways.

Any advice would be appreciated.

What size laser cutter bed for practical tasks?

4 Upvotes

For those of you who have a laser cutter, is there a specific size bed that you feel covers most your needs?

I’m not trying to do production or do it as a business, but want the ability to cut fabric for backpacks, plate carriers, small bags, things like that.

Any thought thoughts would be appreciated

Pic 1 is Patagonia jungle pants, pic 2 is beyond clothing pants. Ideally asking if anyone would know the type of mesh used on the Patagonia pants but also curious on the spec of mesh used on the Beyond’s.
Kind regards and TIA

Hey all, more people seem to be into the US military bdu over the acu, myself included. I know of some of the mods done "in house" by the military, or at least permitted by the military, like pocket slants and the raid mod. Does anyone know a good resource for a large listing of these common mods? Or maybe someone knows a lot of the mods? Hell, I'm even up to hearing about common mods done in the collector/aftermarket space, too

This is the second time I've made a helmet cover, the first one I made using the "masking tape method" . I definitely wouldn't recommend that route. This time I used an Amazon cover and traced the pattern, still need to work the kinks out of it.

Another sewing machine recommendations post…

But… strictly for slings. What’s the cheapest and most reliable sewing machine I can find? I know the cheapest isn’t always the most reliable but this is for some slings to put on my own rifles. Mainly looking at cordura fabric as the material.

I’ve got the itch. Can y’all point me in the right direction?

Put together in the same fashion soldiers would assemble rigs out of what ever materials they could find: Hand stitching the existing pouches together, and clipping on some AK slings for shoulder straps.
