PRIMITIVE GLOVE/TAB
~JM~:
Someone gave me an all black wielding glove so I'm going to try and do something with it, looks kind of like this:
The fingers are a little big so I doubt they'll work for me, but the the wrist section covers the inside of my forearm, I'm going to pick up some leather lace tomorrow to finish it.

[edit]
The fingers were too big so I used the palm and the back to make finger tabs.
jamie:
ive made gloves but its too much of a pain in the ###. i now make a tab. simple and can be done under primitive conditions. a veggie tanned leather is much better than brain tan. brain is soft as a babbies bottom but doesnt last long. peace
boo:
im leaning to a tab of some sorts . i have all kinds of leather so i play around and see. i was just wondering what would be considered primitive. i guess if its hand made it will work. bobby
Coo-wah-chobee:
So.. if bare finger shootin' can cause nerve damage in yer fingers do ya suppose Native American groups and Paleo people had nerve damage to their fingers ? :-X......bob
Justin Snyder:
Bob, I just knew you were going to say something like this. ;D Apparently we are doing it different.
I actually suspect it has as much to do with lifestyle. Maybe the soft girlie hands of modern man.
I can lay concrete roofing tile all day. My friend who is a concrete contractor can shovel in the hard ground all day. If he was to do my job, his hands would be torn to pieces. If I did his, I would have blisters on my hands.
The Paleo people never got carpel tunnel from typing either. ;) Justin
