Feel free to email them to me at n.auger@btinternet.com mate. Alternatively, where have you got them uploaded to? Photobucket or flickr for example?

Can't wait to see them!

As for the uploading part, I'm probably not much help to you so I'll let the others do that!
I'm only good for viewing photos of bats ;)

No mate, it's a pain in the ass really. You've got to know exactly what you're doing (and I didn't until joining here). For future reference there is a topic somewhere which explains how to do it, although if you're going to be selling a lot of bats on here, you need a photobucket.com or flickr.com account and then you just upload to there and then to here.

thanks six of. I want all my kit to look quite minimalist. My pads and gloves wont have loads of colours on them etc. Thanks for the bat comment they are going well i intend to build slowly and set up a good foundation for an ongoing business. I only want to deliver quality and good service. Its handy having a few ex playing colleagues having some made too

I love that little toe sticker. Would you let them go on their own. or is it all part of the brand image... I understand completely if it is mate.

Nice bats, Classy stickers too, looks  a cross between newbery and chase. You should have joined the forum long time ago  :)

part of the brand image i'm afraid took me ages to get the batsmen right. I designed all the stickers myself and that is one of my favourite things i must admit

I am not surprised mate, that's a quality little touch. Stickers look very nice IMO.

I think it denotes the time put into making a bat; talk about dedication  ;)

Welcome to the forum mate--- this has become an even better place with a 'pro' batmaker around.  :)

Thanks for all your nice remarks guys if any of you want to ask any questions or more information please dont hesitate to get in touch with me am always willing to help. I got helped alot by folks when starting up as a player and when i started making bats non more so in the latter than from James Laver he has been fantastic with tips and info for me. can always spare 5 mins

That is about 2lb 11 but picks up like 2lb 9. although i do make bats to specified weights i like to make bats to how they feel. I know its a personal thing but people get hung up on weight. A lot of the pros could use say a 2 12 that feels like a 2 9. Its all down to feel. Its always handy if people live close by as they can come to me and i can rough a bat up for them for the perfect pick up then finish it off for them to return to. I always used around 2 9 - 2 11 but with a light pick up. But then again i never scored any runs  :D

Hi Paul, great to have you on here.

I'm particularly aroused by the shape in the pic above. Is this a stock shape for you, and is it available in the 2 lower grades?
Title: Re: Pics
Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on March 12, 2012, 09:50:06 PM
It is a stock shape. All the Supremes are shaped that way. Obviously slight variations as each piece of willow is slightly different but thats the nature of hand made bats. The Gold Sovereign are grade 1 willow the Silver is Grade 2-3. If you read my offer page you will see a great deal on the Supremes. the sovereign are 155 and 95 respectively you can have what stickers you like on

bats look fantastic love the grain on that first one

Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on March 12, 2012, 09:55:34 PM
The graines on the supremes are nice and straight but like i say these are picked out as the ones i would like to use as far as the feel of them is concerned so not necessariy lots of graines generally between 8 and 14 as a rule
