Doesn't work for me. I'm gonna presume it's got the "not to be viewed on mobile devices" button ticked somewhere.

Really interesting video, Paul. I had to go back to the start once I had watched to the end of the clip just to see how different it looked - really craftsman/ great to watch.

That is what it is. I can't get it to work on the Ipad but can on the desktop. Worth thinking about as most people I'd imagine view via Iphone/Ipad type devices.

Thanks for that, Paul - that was a pleasure to see how it is done.

Perish the thought I'd ever try shaping a bat; I'd be checking for alignment/ evenness after every draw/ shave!
Lovely to see the shape come out.

That's exactly how I did it when I started but the more you do the more you trust your eye and the feel of balance.
