Without any specifics to the original rather ambiguous question the list could be made quite lengthy, if however its only made up of the start-finish process them it will be more than halved

Keiron I believe does have a press which he designed himself. He used to play at my club. I've not seen it but knowing him have no reason to doubt him

Yes, and I did put my list in context of people that could, but may not necessarily be.

Always an interesting question, but does come back to, I could purchase a cleft and handle, and shape a bat. I don't have a press, so I would have to take it to someone to use theirs. I have the tools required and I have shaped something (badly).  Am I a batmaker? In it's rawest sense, well yes, but a very amateur one. Would anyone want me to make a bat for them, no! There are a few of those on here... The best bat I have made was pressed by Matt H4L and everyone who has used it loves it. What does this tell me?

Anyone can make a club but it's hard to press a bat well!

[Bulldog Cricket]

I think I know who presses their own bats and its not many from that list.

They can all make a bat though.

Tim the question was a leading one yes.... but we argued over the small bat makers

No one mentioned GM and I didnt know the GN bat makers apart from the big Ging!!!!

does it really matter?

most people buy bats for the shiny stickers.
even on here.

using blank bats as an example, how much better do their bats look with the embossed chrome action..

[Johnny]

Yes, but who on the list fells the willow and cuts it into rounds and then splits it into clefts? Because if they don't do that, then they don't make the WHOLE bat...
