Title: Manufacturing products
Post by: Allan on March 10, 2011, 01:24:56 am
Put you thinking caps on guys and gals

I am looking for generic products to manufacture from canvas or similar with basically a sewing machine not special equipment

Any ideas??

Winch/windlass covers, bbq grill covers, outboard motor covers, duffle/beach bags (these would have to be unique - can't compete with Taiwan for generic stuff).

I make these out of scrap Textilene but you could use canvas.

The top folds over the rung of a ladder and velcros in the back with 2 inch velcro.

You can sew two different types of these tool pouches. I make one that is designed for the RV'er who is waxing his rig. This one has bigger pockets to hold wax bottles, towels, rags, etc. The RV'ers love them. I also make another pouch that is designed to hold tools. This has multiple pockets. I am also in the process of designing a new tool pouch that sits on top of a step ladder.

I also make prayer cushions. They are nothing more then a foam filled cushion that measures 24 inches wide by 8 inches. Guys use these to throw on the ground and place their knees on while working on a car, truck or whatever. I call them prayer cushions because as any old guy knows, once you squat down on your knees, you pray you can stand back up again. :)

Hope these help you.
