Exactly, sorry guys  :D

I'm aiming to get most of them shaped this weekend (hopefully finished), as well as pick up more willow, finish my refurbs/ repairs as well as make a new sanding drum.

Busy week ahead.

Looking amazing Ryan! I've gotta learn podshave like this! I will hopefully have time over the Summer to tidy out our garage and try shaping some bats! 8)

Is it strange I spend more time looking at the tools on your bench than the bat? Everyone else always looks cleaner and more organised than me.

Nice looking bat by the way. I always find it amazing how when you finally grip the bat it makes the profile look different again somehow.

Cheers mate, only thing I don't or can't do is pressing...hopefully that will change in the next year or so. Need to make more space and save some cash first.

Cheers guys. This one is just about finished. Current 2.9oz but needs sanding etc. Should be around 2.9/2.9.5oz gripped.
