Part Mades
« on: January 02, 2014, 01:58:09 PM »
I've been asked for a dozen part made handled clefts which will have been pressed and handles bound. Can anyone supply ? #Ashes

Sorry I should have been more clear. Handles should be bound with twine and shoulders shaped as mentioned by yoki. Very low grades are required as this is a starting project.

You're best of having them un-bound and having a roll of binding.  You can then shape the shoulders and handle as you like. It's also one of the last things thats done on a bat.

are you able to get enough tension on them if you wrap them by hand Ryan?

Yes you can mate..doesn't really matter though.  The pva glue shrinks the twine by about 10% so as long as it's  hand tight it'll be fine.

How much should I expect to pay for very low grades of partmades that are bound with shaped shoulders.

Matt at H4L does grade 3 part mades for £75 + postage I believe.

Thank you Sam but I think £75 is way over the top for a part made when one can buy finished bats in all their glory for that price and below. I'm looking at £25 all in for low grade part mades that can be hacked at without losing any sleep. I'm sure some of the bat makers on here that source their own willow will have plenty of off cuts that they can press , handle and bind.

Yeah sorry, Blonco. You're not gonna get anything for less than £50 and that'd be a storming price. If you just want to see if you can shape without taking off a thumb then try out on a bit of 4x2 first. Like yogi says, gettin a bat to the stage you want it at still requires a lot of work from the kind of people that will supply them to you. Your only hope would be to appeal to a major supplier but the cheap clefts will get made into those glorious finished bats you were talking about.

In short, this is an expensive hobby! Take your time.
