Cool! Why does it look so easy on videos?

Matt, not sure if you've answered this before, but how did you learn to make bats? Did you serve an apprenticeship somewhere?

Nice video.

Can the H4L logo that is branded on the edges of the bat be branded on the back of the blade, Like the top right corner?
