budding batmakers
« on: March 24, 2012, 04:43:45 AM »
it seems everyones taking their hand to bat making on here

it would be good to have a list of people on here who are interested in becoming a batmaker, currently practising and anyone who will be taking a stab at it anytime soon???

looks as tho we have some decent up and coming makers on here and would be good to know who else is trying the trade

I'd struggle with all the fiddly stuff, the fine tuning that really makes a bat. Putting the handle in and all the sanding and shaping etc. I'd be happy to do all the cutting to size and taking out big chunks of willow but I could never get something to resemble a bat haha

I love the amount of podshavers there are around now though!

Obviously I've made a few and still am.


Just in the process of making a fielding bat and handling a few clefts.

I'm sure people would as it is a real experience, watching a bat maker make you a bat is hood but them teaching you is better!
