    It's so satisfying to watch a craftsman at work still using hand tools in the old school way. Beautiful bat by the way.

    Thanks for watching. Please let us know what you think about the pace and style of the video. E.g. music, yes or no, length of the video, areas where we have tripled the speed, and if you prefer us to start the video from a raw cleft or a handled/pressed cleft as we've done previously.
    Also, contact your local cricket store and ask them to stock Fantail. We’re on the lookout for new stockists around the world.

    Nice video explaining the bat making. The pace is good, but if you could the dimensions of the cleft (like 3ft long x4 inches wide x 2inches thick etc.,) before the start and how much is taken off at the end it will be great. Best wishes from Canada

    Awesome video mate very therapeutic. Great to see you back as well. Agree with some of the comments, just a few descriptions of tools used at certain parts, how and why you use them ect, what you look for in a cleft before you start and how you grade them. Only like 4-5 quick chats sprinkled in. It's really great as is though!

    Beautiful! What a glorious process to watch, both as a cricketer and a hands on guy who has done engineering, metalwork and woodwork and likes making or repairing things. You Sir are an artist! Loving the chilled out wonky beats, kinda Fat Freddie meets Mr Scruff! 😁 only just clicked that you’re a leftie too! Do you play yourself and is that how you got into bat making, or the joinery/technicality came first? 🤙

    That drawknife is so sharp! Love it. Wonder whether the wood glue will be strong enough to withstand a solid hit from the toe? Do bats these days use glue or epoxy, and are the surfaces of the two bits of wood ‘keyed’ before glue up? Here’s hoping, as it’s a piece of art

    • @gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791
      @gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791 Před 10 měsíci

      Dear @charlieNumbers: just so that you don't get confused mo chara, that "drawknife" you mention is commonly known as a "spokeshave" in other English-speaking countries (obviously apart from yours - if you're a Septic [Septic tank - Yank]). It's what it was invented for. Y'know, shaving down spokes (of wooden wheels)?

  • @SurPatel-uz2fu
    @SurPatel-uz2fu Před 10 měsíci

    Very nice craftsmanship. I thought the cricket blade (without the handle) had a maximum limit and that's why the handles were longer and shorter for bats.
    Is the maximum limits for the bat measured from the toe to the top of the handle? Not specifically on the blade only?

    Awesome video, thank you so much for showing your bat making process in such detail! I have a couple of questions about the oiling you showed if you don’t mind me asking.
    When you oiled the face before putting the bat on your knocking in machine - how long did you leave the oil to dry/ cure… or did you knock it in whilst the oil was fresh? And the same goes for before adding the scuff sheet... How much curing time do you allow there please? Many thanks, Phil

    • @FantailCricket
      @FantailCricket  Před 10 měsíci

      Bats are oiled overnight before knocking. After knocking and a light sand, a small amount of oil is applied to the face, and the facing is applied immediately.

    • @FantailCricket
      @FantailCricket  Před rokem +4

      You develop control and accuracy with the number of hours I've used the hand tools. During the rough shaping, you get an idea of the grain direction. Then when you get into the finer work, those mistakes shouldn't occur.
