akozicki Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Hello everyone, I'll go ahead and put this out there, I'm a 19 year old entrepreneur with the passion of playing the game and making money off the game at the same time. This is my first product being offered in the baseball market. I have dealt with multiple types of services in the market but I have now created my next venture. Being a part of this forum opened up an everlasting supply of resources for me but this is what I am searching for as of now. If you have any info that you would like to share with me, I'm all ears. Monogram machine, preferably used to start out with. Clicker, I know of a few models but not sure if it's appropriate for what I need. Leather softener to make it easier to turn glove inside-out during the sewing process. What kind of lace to sew to bind the two leather sides together. A good felt supplier A supplier for plastic to use on the clicker. That is a start for me, I have gone a far way since I started in July. Now it's time for me to get down to business and start making some real money. If you feel like you can help me out anyway feel free to PM me. In business its all about connections so lets take advantage of that by helping out one another. Alec Kozicki Kozicki Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akozicki Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Also watch this five minute long video on how to make a baseball glove. If you can help me get any of the equipment shown in the video it would be tremendous. Especially at part 3:17, its a metal rod for three finger that gets to 280 degrees. If someone can make that, PM me! http://youtu.be/AchlEZncm4c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted October 22, 2014 "You're a better man than me, Gunga Din." That is one heck of a project to embark on from scratch. I hope you are well-heeled and very patient. I know nothing about baseball gloves, but that video had plenty of steps that scared me off. The clicker presses, special heated jigs, etc. would be a very costly investment. The skills required would take years to develop. Good luck and please let us know how you fare. Michelle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanch Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Cost in equipment alone would scare anyone under a rock the jigs look fairly simple but dimensions need to be had for any machist to be able to replicate $$$$$$$$! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
