I class machining, pressing, and shaping as making a bat. Others may have differing views but then they might be driven by other motives.

I will add another name to the list who can do the above, Matt Barton.

Also sure that someone could be making from scratch at Warrior and many more up north...

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Marty Graham. Does Rob Pack make his Blue Room bats from scratch?

I recall someone telling me that, Marty imports part made bats from India and does the final but if shaping and finishing in NZ. He could be making a few from scratch himself, but not sure if his operations are big enough to warrant owning a pressing machine....

Possible but we shall never know until GN clarifies where certain models/grades are made and by whom. From Alex's comments I think they have policies in place to purposefully avoid being specific about such things. Why they can't bring out a model similar to GN Australia's XXX series where the model is sold as being made by a certain bat maker I don't quite know.

To add to this, can we even say for sure that the Legend is UK made?
