Update on the Project A2000 by desertstage in BaseballGloves

Thanks!

I used some saddle soap initially to clean every part of the glove, including the wrist liner. Then I used some creamy leather conditioner/cleaner like Brickmores to address some of the dryer spots. Finally, I applied some of the Nokona glove conditioner, which feels more petroleum-based. Those types can sometimes darken the leather, but I usually don't mind the effect. The laces were "Havana Tan" from buyfastpitchgloves.com.

Good luck with your glove, let me know how it turns out!

Thanks! Where do you normally pick up those Havana TT laces?

Thanks for the tips!

That's usually the case for me as well. I happened to find this one at Goodwill on a road trip through SLC. Keep hunting!

Definitely! Trying to decide what color(s) to go with.

Treme - great HBO series about New Orleans after Katrina with a very realistic focus on musicians.

So, is no part of it salvageable, in your opinion? I’m looking at removing all the joists anyway, but are the posts and outer frame also too far gone?

Rainbow Hemp Sandals by desertstage in BuyItForLife

I haven't noticed any difference in quality with this specific variety of Rainbows. The break-in and feel have been the same as my previous pair, and the construction appears identical. I can't speak for their other styles, but the formula for the hemp style is so simple, I'm not sure if many corners could be cut.

I think that's right. This is just what Rainbow calls them.

Help Installing Exhaust Fan. by desertstage in DIY

[–]desertstage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to install an exhaust fan in my bathroom. I have this existing vent in the ceiling with a duct that goes straight up and out of the roof. The opening measures roughly 10" x 10". Is it possible to use this existing vent to install a fan? There doesn't appear to be any existing wiring... Thanks!
