Cheers mate. Taken a while to start to get the finish to a high standard. Yea you should do it. I'm always working on something in that'd making. Love to do it full time as a career. One day hopefully.

Hey guys!

Been a few weeks since my last post. Been working on a few things since then. This is another one of my creations I have made today from start to finish. Starting to get a shape I am happy with and now start to look at selling them more. Let me know what you are thinking as I take all your guys comments on board.

G2, 38mm edge, weighs 2.9

Cheers  :)







 Awesome bat. Nice grains and lovely stickers. I am not sure, but almost all bats with black grip and stickers seems lovely to me ;)

Looks a very nice bat mate.
How difficult is it to pick up the skills to start making bats, and whats the initial cost like for tools etc?! One day id like to give it a go

I wouldnt say the skills are difficult to make a simple bat but to make a good quality bats consistently is a lot of hard graft and and as they say practice makes perfect. taken me a few years to start making consistently nicely shaped bats. I've spent quite a bit of tools. Cant say exactly how much because I pick them up when I come across them or modifying other tools. Ive always made mine from scratch which keeps my costs down more
