Always enjoyed watching their videos, but they stopped uploading for over a year.
However, this last month there has been a resurgence in content and a re-launch. So thought I'd share the link on here, for those who enjoy watching some bat making and repair videos.

Thanks for sharing - I did remember watching their videos. Very well made video, and don't think I could grow tired of watching bats being shaped - just something about it. :)

Absolutely love their channel - no idea about the quality of their bats though.

Their videos are excellent quality. I find them strangely therapeutic! Ha ha

Glorious... 15 mins of watching a craftsman make a bat. Enjoy.

Lovely! Watching those fantail vids was a big reason why I took an interest in batmaking. Great to watch, and well edited. I don't remember him having a press in the earlier videos, so good to see them evolving.
On one of the newer videos they repair a bat that many would regard as firewood, and it comes up a treat! I'd still question how long it would last before further delamination, but the job they do is incredible.

Totally the same for me too! I watched (and re-watched) so many of their videos, to get a closer look at bat making. Which then led me down a rabbit hole of finding every other bat-making video I could find. They are really nicely filmed and edited, but I'd like to see a video where a bat-maker talks through their thinking as they are making the bat - so what they are doing and why, and if they change what they are doing based on anything that comes up in the willow (for example).
And I spotted the press as well. Always interesting and exciting to see any bat-maker doing this. Hats off to all of you!
