ok gradually working myself back into the workshop after being laid up over Christmas. I was told shingles will take a long time to get over and boy were they right. Anyway as I was ill before and over Christmas I didn't get to get photos done of the bats for 2015 for the website so have been shaping some up today to get pics taken of and put into the website later in the week. As these bats will be pre made they will be going on offer at a slight reduction in price. They are players grades and are stunning. Mainly in the heavier range but pick ups are incredible so keep an eye out for them towards the end of the week.
Take care all
Paul

Pleased to hear about the recovery and that you're back pod shaving :D

Hi Paul, Happy New Year and I hope you are on the mend!
Not sure if the problem is at my end but your website seems to be down...
Looking forward to more of your insights in 2015!

It is working to a fashion at the moment. We are catching up a little to be honest as I was ill up to and over Christmas we are re building it. We just took a load of new pics last night and hopefully they will be loaded on in the next few days as the ones that are on are old and aren't formatted correctly so are either massive or small so we are uniformity it all. The actual shop part will be a little while longer but anyone can get in touch with me to purchase what they want. It's just all got delayed due to me being a sickly child. It will all look a bit different too and we will be adding things on as we go along with one or two new products.
Hope that clears things up
Paul

Ok website virtually done I reckon apart from some new stuff to go on there when we have completed it all but bat and softs wise pretty much there. The shop isn't up and running on it yet but you can just get in touch with me from there if you need anything. hope you like. tried to make it simple and clear, I suppose a few things will get changed as we get some feedback but that's the way it is.

Website looks great.
The products look classy

very nice paul good luck for the year. hope you have made a full recovery

Thank you, yes getting there slowly but apparently it takes a while according to everyone who's had it in varying forms.

Hi Paul, happy new year mate.
A quick question, will there be any bundle deals?
-
I always look after people who want to buy the full set. We don't advertise that on the website. Anyone wanting certain things just email me and I will look at it and see what we can do for your requirements. Remember we love looking after our customers but do bare in mind the quality of our products against our prices compared to many bigger companies.

Great stuff! I looking at buying a G1 bat, gloves and pads.
-
Just drop me an email aldred173@btinternet.com. I am expecting all my new willow in the next 3 weeks. Can't wait I know there's some beauties ;)

Thank you very much, much appreciated

I think (know!) 2015 is going to be a very busy year for paul. My reasoning for this, personal experience. From day one paul has been responsive to emails, forthcoming with advice and delivered a fantastic set of softs and a bat that makes Thors Hammer look like an inflatable toy! I asked him for something that was 2lb 13ish fully clothed with a gold profile, not particularly bothered about grade - performance was key- he invited me to pick some clefts from his workshop and we could go from there. After 70mile trip I was greeted with approx 15-20 clefts to have a look at - all of which looked fantastic. After narrowing down to 3, Paul added his advice and a decision was made; players grade, 14 immaculately straight grains with an inch or so of heartwood running down the outside edge... Perfect. It was here Paul's podshaving skills were clear to see; whilst being engaging with cricketing stories and clearly a love for the game he was shaping a justifiable reason for divorce, from a basic cleft the new love of my life was being born. The only downside being I couldnt take it with me as the bindings had to dry naturally as well as being stickers/polished etc (paul offers to speed the process but feels it's better to let it dry overnight). Fast forward 72hours and I was falling down my neighbours Christmas card list faster a hookers knickers due to the knocking in process... It had to be ready for nets on Friday!
Friday came and it was time to wield the new willow......wow!! I've had a few custom made bats from various makers before, but this is the best by a country mile. Softs are also top quality too!
All in all, top experience, top bloke, top kit... Fully recommend!!!
I'm also considering a butterfly to give my new queen the training days off!

Welcome,
2 things.
1) cracking write up
2) pictures or in @WalkingWicket37 eyes the aforementioned doesn't exist.!!
Good luck with the willow
-
My reputation precedes me! :D
But it's the forum rules, pictures or it doesn't exist ;)
-
Glad its all good for you karlo heres the pics. it does exist but you may have to put your own pics on as walking wicket may still not believe it really exists. great to meet you karl too and always good to talk cricket and meet people who love the game as much as I did at whatever level I was playing

Thanks for uploading those paul, I've taken a couple of photo's but the photo bucket/iPad combination were not working out well for me, pretty close to testing the iPads durability at one point.
Walking wicket/horseman - I hope those suffice.
-
Not a problem

Belter.
Always good to see Paul's work.

That's an absolute beauty!!
