Guys
If you've known SAF for a fair few years you know Movember is one of the charities closets to our hearts
I'm starting this up early this year because I want a bigger take up and therefore money raised for this cause!
I think this is a one off in the bat market.......
We are offering a chance to be a bat maker for the day.... The day will consist of the following
In the morning we will pick out a cleft from a choice of at least 20 - 30 clefts.
Our supplier only gives us Grade 1++++ clefts
so there are no low grade clefts and you'll have me wittering on about choice at the same time
We will then press your cleft. I will try and explain, based on the cleft, why we are pressing the cleft in that manner and you will defiantly be asked to pass the cleft through the press at some stage if not all the time....
The bat will then be spliced, you can run the jig if you like and the handle placement done..... Handle selection, cutting and placement is up to you... Set forwards, backwards or Straight!!!!
Whist the glue is setting...... hmmmm
Lunch in my local, that is on me, no beers though we can do that later!!!!!
Ok back to workshop...
Drawknife, planes and profile shaping all to be explained as much as you want. So really done by yourself with as much guidance as you like... [This is optional but I'd love you to work on it as much as you can]
Then sanding, all done by you
Ok we'd finish it together with a polish... Binding, stickering in a bat cover and done...
Well almost.... back to local pub for a beer...!!!!!
