Making me so jealous shilly... I just want to start carving up those clefts!

[jandgcricket]

I'd like to try again over next winter.  Run out of time, and could be a busy 2010 for myself.  Its such a great skill to have, and one i plan on doing...

SS, that looks like a first class attempt, really impressed. Looking forward to seeing the next one!

what will you call the company once you start it??

[SillyShilly]

Funny you should ask - thats what i spend all day at work wondering, possible names for a bat company - it's more diffuclt than you imagine......any help would be apprecciated.

I am still a million miles away from producing bats that i would want to sell, but i think i will be selling some grade 2/3's cheaply just so i can make a little from each bat to put towards another cleft and continue this untill i am happy with shapes, weights, handles etc -  then i may think about getting some labels made up and start selling them......but this is all a million miles away and i have a massive student loan i have to pay off and a missus who wants lots of presents for christmas, oh joy!

If you get stickers made up to look like those packets of crisps you used to be able to get from Kwik-Save back in the day (mainly white and black with red pin stripes) you could call your company "No Frills" with your flag ship bat called "Plane"

BTW, not a reflection on your bat making skills just an idea 

[SillyShilly]

and the other being cheese and onion and salt and vinegar, perhaps not

[Middler]

oh well, nvm

I thought I told you to give up 

[SillyShilly]

If you say so then Andy, you da boss.

[leeroy_acko]

Why not just call it SS?

You might get in to some trouble, but some stickers would be easy to find!

hahahaha

[SillyShilly]

SS might be a little tricky to get away with, plus i would want something different, i wouldnt want to share a name with an established brand already

My initials ar DLS - mix them around and you get LSD, then you name all your bats after different drugs - a rather novel idea me thinks

[SAF Bats]

SS I just noticed something about your last bat so I like it even more now

Copy the mess on my work bench....

Difficult to get a new shape nowadays John Newbery had most of them covered
