grade 2 34mm edges 57mm spine 2lb 8 and a bit
« on: October 13, 2011, 06:28:50 PM »
a mate of mine from aus asked me to make a bat for him. he wanted a grade 2 cleft 2lb8 and a bit with antiscuff toe guard and 2 cheveron grips, spine the length of the blade and concaved. comes out 2lb8.5 on my scales. Pics arent great so sorry for that. think i need to update the camera. Given it a good buffing and its come up nice and shiney. looks alot better in real life. just cant get that shiney pic!

let me know what you think

Absolutely I love it when people on a "custom bats" forum actually make a "custom bat"!!! :)

Seeming stuff like that really makes me want to start shaping or making bats. Not really got the space living in a flat though :(

im quite lucky, ive taken over the garage. nothing else in there apart from bat making kit. turning out to be a nice little workshop. Just change the dining/coffee table into a bench, stick a vice on it and away you go! lol
