In terms of video's it's pretty basic as it's meant for the American audience of the program How It's Made. But it does give a reasonable insight into batmaking.

So if you're after something more detailed there's the longer Salix video here:

Over the next few days I'm going to compile a list of all the videos and also some photo's.

Oh God!! That's so cool - I so want to be a batmaker.

I'm just one lottery win away from giving up work and starting my own bat company!

Im not entirely sure but a top of the range Salix will set you back around £250

Would obviously depend on the shop's prices but the top of the range Pod1's retail at about £240, the RRP's £300.
