I'm gonna try to get into glove building, and was wondering which part(As in movie) you guys suggest for a beginner.

It's the most basic.

I wouldn't recommend any part - just try and build a generic glove for your first few attempts, to get the skills right. Then if you want to try an accurate one, do it after 3 or 4 generic ones. That way you will be far happier with the results. soldering, cutting, grinding and weathering are skills that are learnt over a few goes. Most glove builders will tell you they are still learning stuff, even after 100's of gloves!

I have to agree <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> That's how I started, build a few generic gloves to get a feel for it then go all out. I have only been building gloves for a little over a year and have to say its a great hobby. Good luck and don't forget to post some picks.

Just be careful once you start shooting for film-specific gloves... you'll drive yourself mad with how many revisions you go through. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
