Could I use this to make sliding gloves?

You know those plastic discs people put on heavy furniture to slide them? Do you think that would work for sliding gloves?

Agreed, I used to put them on my shoes and slide on carpet like skates...go for it!

I believe this has been tried before, and they really don't last as long as you would think. If you're sliding on say, smooth concrete or hardwood floors, maybe, but roads just rip them up.

Cutting boards FTW. Even ordering pucks online and putting them on homemade gloves saves you a boatload of money.

I'd vote for trying it, but then getting mudslides because they're the ####.

is there an super easy way to cut a cutting board? I do not want to go out and spend money on a blow torch. Any easy ways to cut it?

My freind used furniture sliders. They slid okay, but died really quickly. Use a jigsaw to cut cutting board.

Band saw bro.

I use vinyl tiles, I cut the shapes with a razor and pop them out. They crack easily but so I gotta perfect it

I made a pair today with a hacksaw. took ~ 10-15 minutes, and you can buy a cheapo hacksaw frame for 10 bucks. get a decent blade with a low teeth count (I used 18t) and then just sand the edges to get rid of the "hairs"

has anybody else used vinyl tiles?

I used a ?saughtering? iron to cut my first cutting board. Not half bad, you can shape the pucks pretty darn well, but it takes patience.

i have an old pair of knee pads. I am going to take the plastic part of and put it on my gloves. I got an awesome pair of gloves on sale for $5

well i am not voting because I basically have tried it already acouple of time and it does not last...... then I ghettofied it some more... the heat Separates the plastic from the rubber mold they put on their very quik, anyways I wrapped it up with a TON of scotch tape and made one side with velcro and Presto Ghetto slide pucks! works for some time now

soldering.

At first I was like "WTF is a slaughtering iron?" that sounds like the name of an angry nerd punk band.

Hey, i tried using gardening gloves and cutting board. It was a pretty crap job because i used a hand saw and a glue gun.

They seemed to work alright but im pretty #### at sliding anyway lolz.

**xxcruiserxx** · 09-14-2009 05:16 PM

I was able to cut through the plastic with a heavy-duty box cutter. I secured it to my gloves and they work great! I need to get some harder wheels though. They are great for making sharp turns though!
