Hi everyone,
I've been shaping pre-pressed and handled clefts for a couple of years now, and am obviously still learning, but thought I would share a few pictures of some bats I've recently completed...

Looks a good effort mate like the profile seems keeping with what's in at the moment with if the pics are not decieving a duck bill toe and lots if wood in the hitting zone
-
Look like great shapes.
What are you oiling them with?
-
Looks like you are doing it very well, a bit too much oiling for my liking (could be just camera fault), waxing may make them look slightly better imo.
-
Thanks for the comments :)
I think the colour of the bats is a combination of the camera and bad light in the workshop, I have finished with a horses shin bone, one coat of linseed oil and then buffed...
Here they are outside...

Some nice shapes there, well done.
-
Well done - I love it when someone new appears having made a few shapes!
keep it up and please keep posting pics of your work!
-
Well done always nice to see someone having a go would have liked to see a convex shape.
-
Looking good to me. Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys, I thought I would share my latest bat with you all. It was a strange request, but i'm happy with the way it has come out...
The request was for a shoulder-less bat, like the old Newbery Excalibur, but for it to have a little "scoop" as the old Magnums used to have.
All dressed up it weighs in at 2.10, but picks up well for a bat thats bottom heavy.

looks amazing!!
-
Like that a lot
Always been interested in trying a shoulder less bat, to see how it affects the balance and pick up
Top effort
-
Looks like a good effort, very similar to what I made a few years back. Keep up the good work.
-
Not sure how I missed this thread first time round but some fantastic craftsmanship there. Really impressive!

Not so fussed about the shoulders but absolutely love that shape.

Thanks for all the comments :)

Finished another couple of bats over the weekend, on opposite ends of the weight scale...
1st bat is a 2lb 13oz monster, 1 inch longer blade, long handle (new owner is 6'6) with a low swell, for the slow/low grass wickets we get over here.
2nd bat is 2lb 6.7oz. Short handle. This bat will be mainly used for indoor cricket, and picks up beautifully.

Just stumbled across the thread, some nice shapes being made here mate. Keep up the great work and solid craftsmanship.
-
The shuolder has very beautifull profile and grains are good too.
Keep it up good work.

Hi guys, another bat finished last weekend, this time a fuller profile, minimal concaving, comes in all dressed at 2lb 9.2 oz.

Wow, excellent work! It looks great and big for 2'9 as well!
-
that looks like an absolute belta of a bat, well done. everything about it looks perfect!
-
That looks proper. Completely agree with @Buzz
-
Lovely bat love it agree with everybody else also love the Df in the back
-
Cheers guys, this was the easiest piece of willow to work with i've come across.
-
@Scruffy
those bats look the business, would think they had been made by a craftsman of many years.
I see the finish is different to the first lot you posted. did you do something different this time?
-
Are you making bats to order, if so how much?
-
Big thumbs up, looks very well made.
-

Cheers Buzz. Means a lot@Scruffy

Cheers Garrett, I have got my hands on a hand held sander/buffer/polisher used for wood turning, makes a huge difference to the finishing.
I think the fact I have actually learnt the settings on the camera helps also...
-
Like the shape and the grains through the toe wouldnt be able to swing it bit to much wood at the toe for me.
-
Are you making bats to order, if so how much?
Yes, I'm making to order, even sent a few to Australia recently. Price wise, its been a case by case basis, depending on what I can get the clefts for - I am in NZ.
I am pretty sure I cant sell on here? but its nice to get feedback anyway.
-
Great work @Scruffy
Shapes look good, like the finishing. Keep up the good work!
-
Id be keen to know your prices mate seeing as I'm also in NZ.
PM me if you would like.
Cheers.
-
Hi Guys, for those that are interested, I have created a facebook page where I will be posting all my bats in the future...

I don't know if you are aware of the purpose of Batmakers Shed on here it is for emerging Batmakers and hobbyists to showcase there bats. Members are also able to purchase. If you are interested contact the shop for details of the deal.

Hi everyone, I had a request this week to make a bat around 2.9 - 2.10, with a high middle and pronounced duck bill. I think you could almost call it a platypus.
Here is the finished bat...

Lovely shape and great art work! You have some serious talent.

beautiful
I love that branding ...... how was it applied, looks better than TON and their felt tip pens!!
-
Lovely shape and great art work! You have some serious talent.
Thanks mate! really appreciate it.
Lovely shape and great art work! You have some serious talent.
Cheers Garret, It is a laser engraving. I am still learning how to get the best out of it, but really happy with the results so far.
You can't see too much, but I recorded the engraving of this bat... http://youtu.be/B5a0Ht32UbM (http://youtu.be/B5a0Ht32UbM)
-
Lovely shape Paul with the weight in the correct place.
-
mad ting ..... as my jamaican wife says
that video is superb, back to the future meets CBF and Batmaking
Do you think a 3d printer can make a cricket bat?.
-
Looks quality I love the look of the bat and the design great stuff some talent people around
-
That laser engraving looks great. A little bit of a reminder of the old fashioned bat branding.
-

Do you think a 3d printer can make a cricket bat?.
In theory, problems being you'd need a huge printer, and it would cost a lot, and take a long time if you printed in abs plastics ( most 3d printed items now are hollow with struts trough the middle) if you think about a medium quality print as taking roughly 15mins per gram that would take ages to print a full size bat
-
Laser etching looks really smart, top work!
Out of interest what have you used for the toe guard on Page 2?
-
Would be nice to see some more pics of the bat, can't really see the amount of concaving or the duckbill. What are the specs please @Scruffy ?

Here you go... Its had a net since the last photos
A decent amount of concaving, and a pretty flat duckbill.
Comes in at 2lb 10.5oz all dressed, and 34mm edges at the highest point.

This is my take on an old 90's favourite, the M&H signature... I didn't have many pictures to work with, but I'm pleased with how it came out.
2lb 11oz all dressed. 25mm edges & 60mm spine.

-
Ooo!! I like
-
Lovely lovely bat!

Nice to see experimenting with new shapes (or really old ones ;) )

My style of bat that, would certainly buy that

Hi all, I had a cleft which I was ignoring as it was on the heavy side, and not the prettiest to look at, so I thought Id have a go at a new shape.
This is my take on the offset edge. 2lb 10.8oz all dressed, 37mm edges, minimal concaving.

I really love that - decent weight that too.

Really nice profile, you're making some cracking looking bats atm mate - keep it up!
-
Yeah that looks great!
-
Nice work! - Catch Fattus when he's had beer and you'll be getting a PM!
-
Loving that offset edge... looks great :)
-
Paul
All the wood in the hitting areas shape reminds me of early lavers.
-
That's a really interesting shape! Top work pal!
-
This one was made for a local, who was looking for a bat with a low middle, at around 2.11-2.12.
2lb 11.3oz dressed, mid-low sweet spot, minimal concaving. A really nice piece of willow

Thanks Mate!
22mm Toe, 33mm Edge, Around 65mm Spine
-
Looks really professional. Top effort.
-
Looks a cracker Paul it will certainly go nice straight grains running through the toe.
-
That is a beauty, great work
-
Another cracker, love the profile and the engraving.
you have some lucky customers
-
You're making some great looking bats there!

Just highlighting the avoidance of stickers, saving 1oz+ and returning it to the bat in terms of extra willow. Surprised more batmakers haven't gone down this route.

Its a shame that stickers sell bats, but thats the way it is!
I would rather the wood/grains/finish be the first thing people look at, but thats just my personal preference.

looks great mate. keep up the good work.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the positive comments so far! I really enjoy being able to share these bats with you all.
Is there any shape/style that any of you would like to see?
another weekend, another bat finished...
Was asked to make something with a high middle, and big edges at around 2.10 - 2.11.
Grade 2, standard blade, short handle.
Finished weight is 2lb 11.5oz, 39mm edges at the highest point, 62mm spine, 21mm toe.
To allow for the bigger edges, there is more concaving than usual, but I am very happy with how this one taps up.

Thanks Tommo! The profile gives it a really nice pick up. Definitely doesn't feel 2lb 11.5
-
Thats a nice profile with such a nice branding ....love the roundish squarish toe.
-
Reminds me of a Bradbury profile? Which is a good thing ha. Every bat posted looks superb, keep up the good work!

Very nice shape Paul reminds me a of a Laver very Kiwi well done.

Hi everyone, after being busy for the last month or so, I finally found some time to smash out another bat. This one was a request from a local, and is a very similar shape to the last bat posted, though 2 oz lighter.
Grade 2
2lb 9.5oz
37mm Edge
20mm Toe
My camera decided to give up on me, so please excuse the phone pics...

That is one lovely looking G2!

Great piece of craftsmanship that. Actually looks like a proper cricket bat too not one of those obscene Warner clone 'clubs' the sloggers keep wanting [emoji12]Love the plain labelling too
-
that bat looks incredible mate! :O
-
The stamp/branding is a really class touch
-
Well done Paul for taking the wieght out of the shoulders to retain a large hitting area also 20 mm toe is thick enough and will assist the pickup.
-

Thank you! I have a serious enjoyment for it too.

Thanks James, much appreciated.

Thanks again mate! maybe a Magnum tribute next?
-
congrats on another belter. looks amazing.
-
Your most recent creation looks stunning ! Very nice straight grains on the face & minimalist labeling ... Keep up the good work mate.
-
Classy looking stick mate, love the lazer engraved branding on all your bats. Because there is a lot wood taken out of the shoulders and top end of the bat do you ever feel it'll be very weak in the area and more likely to break in this area?
-

Yes based on the early Magnums you and I have.

Thanks mate!
I feel there is still a good amount of wood in the top end of the bat, enough to give it the strength required to take a beating from the ball anyway. This design is certainly not as radical, or has had as much wood taken out of the top of the bat as some other bat makers/companies have done.
I think its all about finding a good balance between structural integrity, pickup & how much wood you can get in the hitting area.
-
Lovely sleek shapes you're pulling out of the willow, scruffy. And very classy, minimalist, yet unique old skool branding. Very impressive.
-
Good looking willow...keep it up

Hi All,
