Making a Cheap Set of Slide Gloves 

Thanks so much for sharing this! Planning to make a pair of slide gloves this weekend now!

When I did longboarding I screwed a piece of cutting board to leather working gloves from the inside. When the screws wore through the plastic it made for nice spark effects with the unwanted side effect of the screws getting hot and burning your palms. 😅 Solved that by gluing another piece of cutting board on top of the other. When it wore through I just pried it off and glued another. Anyway, if anyone consideres making slide gloves, the dirtier the better. They are going to be dragged through dirt and asphalt. 😃 The bigger the puck the longer they last. Yours looks like the fancy and expensive ones you could buy, so well done!

This is great! Specially in my country where you don't find these type of gloves. Thanks a lot!

Slide tips: 1. Don't grab between your legs 2. Keep your weight on your toe or heels depending on the slide until you've hooked up again 3. hookup when you're still crouched

Haha no way you skate twenty minutes from where I live. I was thinking that spot looks way too familiar lol!

Yo wth why does ur acc have so little subs and views literally 20 seconds in and I thought u were some famous acc I just never heard of. Anyways great video I hope u blow up soon👌

thanks .gotta go to supermarket to buy one cutting board now

Awesome video. I'm in the process of making some slide gloves right now so this helps out very much. 🍻

I love the extra steps

Thanks for the video! One thing I'm having trouble with: really really tough to get the sewing needle through the glove and velcro. (I got the same exact velcro, and some Milwaukee work gloves) .

I made some using basically the same technique, except I used recycled milk cartons and melted and cast the pucks into mini square-shaped heat-proof casserole dishes. It was quite a lot of work and pretty hectic working with the molten HDPE but they turned out pretty good, although they were a lot thicker which made them heavy, but they last longer.

Great video!

big wide set up carves before the slide help out a lot

dude you just saved me a lot of money in pucks

Great content!

good to know what the industry stander is . . . loops on the gloves . . . very helpful THANKS!

1. Thank you for making this video. Saved me from explaining another Amazon package to my wife. 2. Do you think you could have skipped most or all the planing/finish sanding by just using the heat gun or a torch to smooth the texture?

Just found some cool leather work gloves hoping to try this out.

I'm a maker, just recently getting into longboarding (working on building an electric board!) Few weeks ago I took a nasty fall around 20-25mph, no pads besides a helmet... Miraculously no breaks/fractures, but I wasn't walking for a couple days and the road rash is still healing, especially RIGHT where some pucks would've come in real handy (pardon the pun lol)... These gloves should probably be my next project 😅 Thanks for the vid, I'll def be checking out your channel!!

We used leather work gloves and jb welded road reflectors to them, worked great for poor highschoolers

Put more weight on your hand and less in your feet, so you can control wheel lock up with delicate weight adjustment. Also not holding the board with your off hand gives you more range of movement to adjust weight :) great video! Great idea sewing the Velcro on too - will be doing this myself. I just glue-gunned some chopping board cutouts on in the past and they end up quite clunky so gonna Velcro this time!

Brilliant :)

I didn't have 50 bucks for a pair of gloves, made a set for 12 and they work just as well

On the next episode of how it’s made 😂🤘

I just hot glued wood to gardening gloves from home depot lol

Ur Bord definitely seems to be lacking, but I don't really know. Those gloves are sick, thinking of making my own pucks myself. I slide with both hands down but I'm weird. Videos on my channel.

Bit of jello in your video. Is it from the heat haze on the road?

Thanks master! You reckon the glue from the Velcro to the glove is safe enough? Or would it be safer gluing it with say contact adhesive?

Are you going to make a video on making cheap soap shoes or no. Because if no, that's understandable

Precarve

do you think using a glue gun instead of velcro would also work out? I am thinking of buying a cutting board and make it into plucks haha

Is it worth going the extra mile and doing ones for the fingers and wrist?

how thick is the pucks ?.. may i know?.. thanks...

oof, I don't have a planer

go faster

Slide gloves: $25 for name brand. $50 for something graphic. Why do this for more than $25? Doesn’t make sense to me.
