Notes –

I came up with the idea to do a Sandpaper glove. I decided to make two types of gloves: a gardening glove with pockets and velcro to hold sandpaper (#1), and a glove, made fully out of sandpaper (#2). My idea for the sandpaper gloves are, to have sandpaper on the most used parts of the hand, like the palm and tips of the fingers. My main goal for the sandpaper glove #1 is, to be able to have the option to replace the sandpaper pieces without having to buy a whole new glove. So this week, I started making some sketches.

I also checked Google Patent Search to check if anyone had made exactly what I am planning to make, but no one had. There were a few people who had thought of sanding gloves, but none of the designs were similar to mine. One was a glove that came with a piece of sandpaper that you could hold:

There was also another glove that was a piece of metal with sandpaper glued on to it:

And finally, there was a glove that was similar to mine, yet it was a mitten and there was no way to replace the sandpaper on the glove.
