Title: Bat press design, clefts needed
Post by: Northern monkey on December 03, 2014, 08:54:30 PM

Ive followed the threads regarding the pressing of the clefts, and thought I would have a go at assembling a small press.

I have a few ideas, that are mostly to simplify existing designs,(reducing manufacturing costs)
It will take a couple of weeks to finish,(gotta fit in with work/family etc) but I now need a couple of unpressed clefts to finish the design and test the press is upto the job.

Anyone know where I can get 3x unpressed handled clefts? Maybe a couple of grade 3,s and a butterfly cleft?

I will off course post pics when it's running

They are oversized too...coming from Kent so I suppose the seller has links to one of the forum brands
