First Attempt at Relacing (Pics Inside)

[edvedsfb]

Here are pics from my first relace. Honestly I've never really paid much attention to how gloves are constructed but it's really interested. I don't think I'll be relacing again anytime soon but it was fun while it lasted and I'm proud I was able to do it. Positive feedback only.

lol @ positive feedback only. Looks good.

Don't want the confidence to plummet after just one job, you know.

your web top spiral shouldn't connect to the index finger

You're talking about the peice that goes over the top kind of? Yeah, I assumed that was wrong but it looked okay so I left it. Hoping to relace this is royal after the season so I'll address that later. Thanks for the feedback, despite it not being 100% positive.

 

[position3]

I'd say that was a neutral response.

 

[MrNixter]

Only positive and position feed back guys.

 

[edvedsfb]

I'd say that was a neutral response.

I was definitely the tone.

I thought I handled it with grace though.

You're wallering out those holes with 1/4" lace everywhere. Use 3/16" everywhere except the web and fingers. Everywhere else does not receive stress from catching a ball, so they don't need 1/4".

See, the place I bought it told me it was 3/16. I measured it and it was right in between. It was difficult to tell what actual size it was.

 

[DIRTY 30]

Order ya some 3/16" from the SBF store. It'll give you a chance to lace the palm correctly as well.

Nice first relace.

I find most lace is just a tad under the nominal dimension. What you got there is definitely all 1/4". Try to work the knots so that the smooth side of the leather is on the outside of the knot. Coming out of the front of the finger, the lace should dart into the tunnel and out the back side, then come over the top to the front through the first hole on the front and out the same hole it originally went in. And then the spiral begins.

Something off about the palm too. You need four adjoining loops and then you skip the next space, etc. How'd you get those last two in a row?

Yeah, the palm was a disaster, I tried watching the videos but the Mizuno was a little different than the Wilson Dirty was using and it got weird for second. What color is comparable to what I have when I order new lace for the plam/heel/thumb/pinky?

 

[Rous]

Any tan will match. Tan mostly darkens over time, so it should all look similar soon enough if it isn't a perfect match right away.

thanks for the positive responses guise

What's with the extra lace in the palm that goes up to the thumb. It seems to be just a Mizuno thing. Also, why the extra run on the pinky. Made it very difficult to follow the video when the glove was kind of unique structurally.

 

[edvedsfb]

lol..........

 

[DIRTY 30]

Also, why the extra run on the pinky.

More room for two in the pinky.

 

[edvedsfb]

More room for two in the pinky.

Just ordered some tan 3/16 from Glovesmith. I'll redo the palm when it gets here. Can you or Rous or Position 3 briefly tell me the main issue?

I should've waited one more hole before starting the regular every other pattern correct?

 

[position3]

I didn't want to answer anyways

 

[edvedsfb]

Fixed it. ^

All opinions are welcomed here.

 

[Trung1130]

the last loop at the top of the web should be doubled up. See pics below

 

[DIRTY 30]

Yes. There's 3 then 4, instead of the traditional 3 and 3.

 

[Trung1130]

Use the palm depressions as a guide as to where you should loop the leather.

 

[edvedsfb]

Thanks guys, gonna redo this weekend. I appreciate everyone's help.

 

[leadoff2]

I think it looks good and I hope my first relace try turns out this good.

Nicest thing anyone's ever said to me on this board.

Thanks,

Rous post a pic of my gge70 you did in the blue so he can see what it will look like.

 

[Rous]

Here it is. The glove Dirty posted is the same, but with a web swap.
