I hope you don't mind me asking, but I was wondering what your bat making CV is like? Are you self taught, or have you worked for a manufacturer previously? How long have you been making bats for?
Title: Re: hell4leather cricket
Post by: hell4leather cricket on May 29, 2008, 05:51:37 AM: hi johnny ,
i am self tought ,although i have had some help from a batmaker along the way,prob as you guys know its a very hard trade to set up in ! i am a capenter by trade ,so i guess that helps with the basic skills .
most of it i have had to learn myself,but with every bat you make you learn ,how to do things better!
