Untap Abilities

I have a couple cards that have abilities that are used by untapping a creature. I'll use Safehold Sentry as my example. My creature has to be tapped to use this effect, so I have to tap it some how. The clearest way is to attack with him. After I attack, can I use his ability to untap And attack with the card again? For this specific creature, that wouldn't do much good necessarily. But I was curious as to how that was ruled.

you only get one attack phase per turn so no.

same reason you can't declare an attacker, have combat, then declare a second attacker.

also, the best way to tap a creature with an untap ability is by giving it a tap ability.

either through an equipment like Paradise Mantle or an enchant like Power of Fire
