Title: Where the magic happens
Post by: buddyb on May 22, 2014, 07:22:04 PM
Over the last month, I've had to relocate back to the parents which meant reducing all my kit into a small summer house again. So I've been rebuilding benches, binning bits and pieces and rebuilding all my jigs for splicing the bats and handles. Just a little to finish off.

Will be open for business again in a few weeks and will be offering some cbf mad Ian Beale's (deals) if anyone one is interested.

So this is the workshop so far.

You may want to discuss sponsorship or being part of the bat makers shed to advertise your brand. If you already are then I apologise, if not you need to discuss before offering deals on yor brand

It's something I'm sorting out at the moment and looking into. How do I become part of the bat makers shed?

Thanks mate. It wasn't easy though. I'm not a fan of part mades. Like to control the whole process if I can.
