Sorry if it has been on here before



Surely the pressing would be negated

Looks old school technology.

Remember seeing a Majolnir made from aluminium which was used in a solar fashion my Keeley's.

Not sure if this technology can be used for making modem profiles with concaving etc.

A number of companies still use copy lathes like this, Hunts do - you can see it on one of the Woodworm videos. It's in one of the back rooms at their factory.

Think James Laver uses one too. (I hope I haven't opened a can of worms here!)

Off the topic - is there any place I can buy one of these old school Woodworm bats?
