Glove Watchman

One of my most recent projects is the “Glove Watchman”. The impetus for this device came from ME103, a class where you design and manufacture a metal product. I wanted to solve a problem I had identified during my first summer working as a wildland firefighter, chiefly the need for gloves to be taken on and off frequently without any means of securing them quickly. 
I have made several plastic prototypes and five casted and machined prototypes. I have been gathering feedback from local structural firefighters and from fellow wildland firefighters. It has been tested successfully on wildfires by myself and other firefighters.
