| |
| | the season with no problems.Now, if he
|
| trying to get, I gave a nod. He then
| |
| | had sent the glove away to get repaired,
|
| barked out, "Got another one!" and

|
| inspection and knew what I'd being doing
| |
| | back sooner. He would also probably lose
|
| a little later that evening.Well that's
| |
| | the glove for a week. If he got the glove

| |
| | back and didn't like the results, he'd
|
| years now when I'm in the dugout or
| |

| small kids, big kids, adults, you name

| | about fifteen or twenty minutes...no real

| gloves when they broke, even the simplest

| It was being used by a younger girl
| |
| | to know how to do most, if not all of the
|
| playing softball. It was her dad's glove
| |
| | lacing repairs yourself. If you have
|
| in college. It needed a lot of lace work
| |
| | young kids playing ball and you see a
|
| but was in surprisingly good shape other
| |
| | good number of years ahead of you, or you
|
| than that. It looked great when I was
| |
| | are a coach, learning how to do general
|
| done.Since then, I've repaired gloves for
| |
| | restoration, conditioning and relacing of
|
| a lot of kids. Never charged anything,
| |
| | gloves is a great thing.I'm not saying
|
| which was probably a small mistake. I
| |
| | glove repair places are bad. They're
|
| was just glad to get the glove back to
| |
| | great! Most do good work and will save
|
| them the next day or so. I didn't think
| |
| | your glove for more years to come. I've
|
| much about until I was looking around on
| |
| | even recently come across a site on the
|
| the Internet about a year ago and saw
| |
| | Internet that offers a really good deal,
|
| what repairing gloves costs both in money
| |
| | with one to two day turnaround. Of
|
| and time. Only then did it occur to me
| |
| | course, if they had 75 gloves come in,
|
| how much money I saved kids and parents
| |
| | that's a tough guarantee. Basically, you
|
| and more importantly, the glove was lost
| |
| | just have to decide on your time and
|
| for one game at the most.This is what I'm
| |
| | money budget. For nearly all of the
|
| getting at. If you have young kids active
| |
| | gloves I have repaired overnight or in
|
| in baseball/softball or are a member of a
| |
| | ten or fifteen minutes, time was the big
|
| team or teams yourself, you should really
| |
| | concern for the kids and parents, not the
|
| look into trying to repair a few gloves
| |
| | money. They wanted their gloves for the
|
| yourself, in your spare time. Believe me,
| |
| | next day.So if you have the time, find a
|
| it will come in handy more times than you
| |
| | few old gloves or buy a couple at a yard
|
| think and you can save yourself and other
| |
| | sale and just try to restring them. It's
|
| people some money.Let me define what I
| |
| | really not that hard. And most of the
|
| mean by glove repair. I don't mean
| |
| | breaks are very similar, especially with
|
| repairing major tears in the leather and
| |
| | today's gloves. Once you do two or three,
|
| the little runs of stitching in the
| |
| | you'll be on your way to being a "Doctor"
|
| glove. That stuff requires more tools,
| |
| | yourself. You'll be able to do glove
|
| leather and time. I'm talking about
| |
| | repairs in one inning and the kid will be
|
| repairing the most common types of lacing
| |
| | able to use the glove that same game!
|
| breaks that occur throughout a season and
| |
| | That's the cool part. You make a lot of
|
| just relacing these breaks or
| |
| | kids and parents happy.There is also
|
| retightening lace runs to keep the glove
| |
| | another part of having this skill. You
|
| in its original shape and form.About two
| |
| | can make a little money for yourself

| months ago at one of my son's tournaments

| |
| | word gets out that there is someone

| have lots of games so these guys don't
| |
| | locally that can repair a glove overnight
|
| want to lose a glove for a week while
| |
