Thanks for all the advice and feedback guys!  I'm sure I'll improve the more I make.  Half tempted to buy a few clefts in and make bats I don't need...  Shame I have to save up for a wedding now!

I believe he is and in the case I think he's referring to I tend to agree with him....

Been a scandalisious week on the forum!

There are few who are making bats and posting it in the bat making section.

I would say if  someone is just stickering up on already made bats , it is better to name here rather than giving generic statements....

Or like old maths projects... show your workings 

That aside, nice to see another choosing classical shapes... i say it again it's not all about the edge size. A 30mm edge on most bats is a decent compromise for a lot more real mass in the middle rather than perceived size.

It was intended to be a copy of the Hunt's County steelback that i refurbed for my friend, but the edges have been made a little thinner, as I was trying to get the weight off without adding any concaving.  It's come in slightly over-weight, but the pick up on it is pretty good.  I can't wait to see his face when I give it to him!

As promised, more pics!

Looks like it's got a bit of a 'hitting area', quite like that.

[ajmw89]

Yup.  Most of the face is!  Bit of luck you'll get to see it next week...
