A little work

So I know this is not supposed to be a hockey blog, but my goalie catching glove was getting a little old. I had the original glove for over a year and it was on its last leg. The problem is that goalie equipment is expensive. A new glove for ice would cost about $200-$500. So off to play it again sports where I found a used glove that had lots of life in it but was in need of some repairs. I bought it for $30 and for the past two weekends I spent about 10 hours repairing it. I replaced the webbing, used my leather tool to repair a rip and then put new ribbing on the outside edges. It looks really great and since it a professional model, it should last for several years. I also did the same for a blocker I bought used. So after the work I did on both of them my $80 investment would likely sell for $200-$300 on eBay. But these puppies are going to stay firmly attached to my paws and hopefully be sources of frustration for offensive players...
