Same for me

Worked for me!
Great choice of radio station too!

Doesn't work for me. I'm gonna presume it's got the "not to be viewed on mobile devices" button ticked somewhere.

Really interesting video, Paul. I had to go back to the start once I had watched to the end of the clip just to see how different it looked - really craftsman/ great to watch.
-
ok for those that cant see it im sorry this technophobe doesn't have a clue why.

That is what it is. I can't get it to work on the Ipad but can on the desktop. Worth thinking about as most people I'd imagine view via Iphone/Ipad type devices.

Nice video Paul.
Works... even on phone...
-
Thanks for that, Paul - that was a pleasure to see how it is done.
Perish the thought I'd ever try shaping a bat; I'd be checking for alignment/ evenness after every draw/ shave!
Lovely to see the shape come out.

That's exactly how I did it when I started but the more you do the more you trust your eye and the feel of balance.

Fabulous video Paul. Your open honesty and genuine love of what you're doing shines through.
Great stuff.

Amazing video - thanks for posting. You really get an idea for all the hard work that goes into your trade

The shaping is the most enjoyable part for me, along with pressing because it's great to get the feel of a piece of willow transform into a top feeling blade
-
nice video paul. it took me about 4 hours to shape my first attempt. practice makes perfect though
-
Well some can take a lot longer than the one in the video to shape up. That was a nice piece of willow to work so was easy really
