I Need Custom Glove For Deformed Hand

[Guest Jack]

Hello,

I am 22 and work with my hands a lot as a janitor. I was born with a partial left hand. I am in need of a couple pairs of leather gloves for my hand for work, since my hand is getting sore and needs protection. Does any one know of any one that can help me in the Tampa bay area or any where in Florida?

Thanks,

Jack Howland

Jack i wished i could be of more help to you, what i would do is to buy a pair of leather gloves that would fit the hand that you need it on, and then take leather away or add to it.

hope this helps you.

I am always up to a challenge, I have a friend that blew off most of his right hand with a stick of dinamite, I did not say he was a smart friend. He only has his thumb and his little finger. I just cut off the excess material for him and sew it closed. If you want to email me off list and tell me of your needs I will try to help you. Here is my email. southwind58 at yahoo dot com

Jack,

I am in Tallahassee. I can be reached. If you can send me a picture of the type of gloves that are comfortable to you. along with a picture of your hand, and we can go from there. I can get this done within a week,10 days tops(although I think faster).

Hope I can help you.

Something that you might consider doing is getting a life casting made of your hand. This way the craftsman can fit the glove to it, and you don't have to be there. You might be able to get the casting done at a good hobby shop/art supplier, college art dept/ medical dept, or do it yourself. There is a company, I believe it is called called Smooth On, that sells the stuff you need.

I have a daughter that really wants to play the drums and has a passion for music, however, her left hand did not develop and would need a special glove made to properly hold a drumstick.  I was wondering if you might be able to help?

You can post under help wanted.  Might get you more traction than tagging onto an old 2016 thread.  If you could add a little more information as to what area you live in, it would be helpful.  This is a world wide forum.  Might be better to have someone closer to where you live.

From your IP address, it appears you may be in the Dallas Texas area.

custom welding gloves

I see some companies sell welding mitts.  Tried to search for some in Dallas, but not getting much.  I see a number available in Canada, maybe because we have cold winters.

Do you need a mitt with a thumb?  Regardless, might be able to modify a mitt for your left hand and use a glove on your right hand.  Someone in your area should be able to make modifications for you rather than building a complete new mitt.

what ive been doing  since i lost my left index  finger down to the second  knuckle(table saw) is on almost any type glove is i cut the index finger party of glove of just below the second knuckle the peice i cut off i cut more materisl to shorten to fit shortfinger but then i put the part that i cut off back on overlaping  and used a super glue and glueback on to glove   works great  so far  next will be incorporating a thteded stud in that short fingered glove to screw on attachments  im trying to find someone thast can make me a glove like ive explained one that is custom made not custom hacked and glued  like i make them i like the idea of making a cast or mold of the hand  to send to some one that can make it because ill be needing alot of them  for the rest of my life perhaps in differant materials 

any thoughts

on an aversge 400 people lose left index finger every year from saws so theres potentially a market

You really should start a new request.  Tagging onto an old thread doesn't get a lot of attention.
