Title: I got bored one day
Post by: LEACHY48 on January 27, 2013, 07:42:27 PM
So a few weeks back i started a new wanted thread, asking for a refurb job, So Jake from Vitas got in touch with a pic of a B&S fireblade that he had, in his words 'used and abused' and it was in a pretty messy state. with a couple of big cracks and a fair bit of delamination. It arrived on thursday, and straight away i took it into my workshop.

this was the pic that Jake sent me:

pics of it afterwards:

All in all, for 20 quid, I think it was a good buy and I am pleased with how it has come out :) and thanks to Jake for selling me it :)
opinions and feedback wanted please :)

Forgot to say, if anyone wants their bat refurbed, a full refurb is a tenner including a new grip, new scuff sheet, glueing any cracks etc, however you would have to pay postage

Hope she serves you as well as she did me.
