Looks good I'd use 4" toilet rings cause my forearms don't fit through a 3" toilet flange.

A SAB(Still Air Box) is more practical for this hobby than a GB(Glove Box).

That looks way too complicated. A clear tote with 2 arm holes and maybe tyvek sleeves is all you need...attaching gloves seals the box and creates a vaccuum effect, sucking air in and out thru the imperfect lid, again defeating the purpose of a "still air", contam free environment.

Well, I've learned a lot from the community, so I think I might be able to give back by sharing a glove box using toilet flanges that I designed.

i feel like have have learned a great deal from the forum, and after much research i can guarantee you that this may not work as well as a still air box. I only say so because of what people have mention already, but i learned early on that over complicating things will usually be detrimental.

two holes melted out with a used metal coffee can. working with isolation and have done more than 200 quart G2G transfers all with very minimal contamination. this was my last G2G session (which was a bitch and a half but worth it) and only two jars contam'd which was my fault. (lid fell off two jars some how after the fact) 
(2nd agar dish transfer, potential monoculture. one of 70 dishes similar which i selected down to the 13 best looking for final transfer)
1 of about 5 potential mono cultures yet to test fruit. these 50 ish jars posted marks about 8 months of cultivating but over a year of reserching this forum. I have finished mono tub shots but im more exited to fruit out these isolates i have been working with in my still air box!

I'm an average sized man and the 3" flanges are a little tight, but nothing that inhibits functionality.

Maybe it's because I have a pervy mind, but that line made me laugh for some reason.

In case it isn't already clear, ditch those airtight gloves. Nice use of the toilet flanges though. Looks smooth

Before inoculation, I would recommend flaming the needle outside of the glove box, then placing the syringe in the box and maybe wiping down the tip and syringe with an alcohol wipe once inside.

Your best choice is tevek sleeves and detached nitrile gloves.  Another huge disadvantage of having attached gloves is that you have the option of gloves that are thin enough to allow for dexterity in the box, or heavy enough to survive multiple uses.

I guess some modifications are in order. To make it simple I could cut off the hands of the gloves. I'm not familiar with tyvek sleeves, but neoprene sleeves would be just as well and likely more durable. I would like thinner gloves though. The thinner gloves would allow for greater dexterity.

I really have no conception of how the gloves of the glove box create any more or less of a vacuum than a still air box. I you take your arms out of a sab, then that will also create a vacuum and suck air in though any cracks.

I'll make some changes. Pics to come.
