Very interesting and glad to see the old machinery still being used ! They were built to last and run forever ! Keep up the great work! GOD Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I recently retired after 30 years of working at the power company, these are good gloves. Climbing poles you have both hands on the wood, when you get to your destination work consists of more wood products like cross arms, large and small threaded material, rain or shine. Working on higher voltage, we wore these as exterior glove with a rubber insert for insulation on 12k volts so dexterity is critical. Also a lot of rigging rope, very good gloves.
What a beauty! There is nothing more beautiful knowing something is made in America with pride, joy, love and care. How everything used to be but made with quality instead of quantity and profit in mind, durable, dependable and more importantly that will last a lifetime. These are the businesses that our country should investment in, not foreign investment or move everything overseas simply to make it cheaper and bring back garbage. This is proof stuff can still be made in America with far better standards and quality. Will it be more expensive? Yes, of course but at this point I don’t care. All I want to know is that I am buying something made with true American quality in mind and that will last me a lifetime. Not something made in a sweat shop half way around the world supporting illegal work environments and cheaply made garbage I’ll have to keep replacing everything so often. I don’t care if I have to pay more knowing something is made here in America but I know I’m helping support American workers and their families. That is something I would be proud of and would happily pay top dollar for. However, if companies focused far more capital investment on American manufacturing from start to finish(Yes the cost will be high) but if we pushed thru I guarantee profits will be be just as good if not better than they are now. If only it’s a sacrifice we were willing to make.
Jon, Great video! As you stated, Sam's commitment and passion for the VG employees, plant and products shows through. The conversion to efficient, sustainable energy and insulation of the old building is impressive. Glad to see a heritage US company still moving forward, we sure need more of this. I've added Vermont Glove to my Wish List. Thanks!
What a dandy of a documentary. I'm a little late on finding this gem, but I couldn't resist liking and sharing. The process, attention to detail, and knowledge of any traditional craftsmanship is where you find the definition of quality. I'd rather buy a product that costs more, and takes more time to produce once in a lifetime, than once a month. Less waste, more hometown jobs, more appreciation for what we buy; equals a better quality of life for all. The irony is... I probably would have never seen or heard of "Green Mountain Glove's" if it wasn't for an automated digital world 🤠
Wow there really are old made in usa businesses holding to the old ways and making it work! So glad to find out about your family owned business! I went on you tube to find maybe a link to a pattern for some work gloves that i could download for personal use just to make my own work gloves! You guys are what built this country along with the thousands of other mom and pop businesses that have long shut down! Keep up the awesome work!
Product to person... I agree 100%. Thanks you for this, as somebody who grew up on the South Shore I appreciate the fact they are in Bew England. I'm going to go check them out.
love the video i like watching how things are made and is pretty cool the machinery from 80 years ago is just as valid today as their electronic counterpart. Keep the videos coming
At first I didn't want to watch this because it just looked like an advertisement. I'm glad I did watch. Very interesting. What you said at the end about matching the person to the product is also a great idea I never thought of. Thanks for finding and offering different ideas and content other than just woodworking, which is still why I come here for the most part.
I really love the *field trips* you take us on. It affords us the opportunity to see things we never would have been able to see. Thank you for taking the time to video & share! :-D
I really like the video and glad you do videos like this but can I ask something... when he was talking about the cutting dies I was wondering what they looked like. There was a couple times in the reclaimed wood place where the guy was talking about something but you didn’t show it. My question, while they are talking can you pan over and look at what they are taking about so the audience see it too? No worries if not. Thanks
Jon, been watching your channel (s) for some time now! This was a great video ...would love seeing more similar videos likes these. A real attention keeper for your followers/watchers. Well done!
Thanks for the video Jon. Love the work you do and have been learning a lot from you! A dinker is defined as one that cuts various shapes from cloth, leather, or other material by means of a dinking die. Dinking uses special dies called dinking dies, or hollow cutters. The edges of the dies are usually beveled about 20° and sharpened. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_cutting_(web)
@@JonPetersArtHome Thanks for letting us know about this awesome company! Can you update the link in your description? I clicked on the one you have posted and its a dead domain now...Luckily I found this comment and see Vermont Glove company going strong
I love all the old machinery, but damn, get those ladies some better chairs! Those look like dining room chairs, I can't imagine having to sit in one of those for 8 hours a day...
Hello I am mohitosh from India I also have a manufacturing gloves unit. And want to export if you require any type of gloves please give me a chance to serve you thank you
Love the gloves! Not the video. I'm not a big fan of watching just a guy in a hat describe something that's offscreen. Just personal preference but I would rather see the items being described. Not just glimpses and then move on to the next segment of a guy in a hat talking about something else we can't see. That's what radio is for. Just my opinion.
@@JonPetersArtHome thank you. I certainly will. I also want to thank you for not exploding on here. After all it is 2020. Although I knew when I posted this someone's going to get nasty. Negative to say but I'm sure it's coming. Thanks again.
I am certain that their gloves are terrific. However, it's sad that they have to kill Goats just to make a pair of gloves & I am NOT a fan of that! Just my opinion........
