I can only apologise but sometime not everything is possible im afraid, such is life. we do try our best but we cannot please everyone all the time

@@aldredcricketbats6953 no worries mate. Keep up your art work. Keep the bat making trade skills alive.

Merry Xmas to you sir I hope you are well. Sorry have I upset you in some way without knowing it? If so I do apologise. Not a lot you can do other than insert heavier timber in to your bat. If you’d like to speak to me personally please feel free to email me or better still call me and I can give you honest feedback and my opinion there.

@@aldredcricketbats6953 merry Christmas ⛄☃️☃️☃️ to you to sir. Surely I'll be making call to you. Biggest fan from India 😍😍🙏 John

Thank you for following. Simple answer has been time. If you’ve followed us through covid to now you will have seen we have hand built ourselves our timber frame cedar workshop from start to finish we have employed someone full time we have been fighting government legislation on cricket protection for the sake of the industry as well as turning out another record number of bats each year by hand. Not much time left for UA-cam and keeping our group page going but hopefully will be doing something soon

Personally having played when we used traditional bats with little to no bow and no offset handles and it’s nonsense. I don’t think Viv or Botham had issues hitting sixes or gilchrist, it’s just something that came in. The old style bats felt incredible for me, powerful. I have many older cricketers stating they can’t find bats that feel the same as they used to be until the come to me

It’s greased regularly it’s just it’s own noisy personality. It is about 80 years old to be fair to it

Always the Best kind👍🏻

I have no thoughts.

I don’t press with pressure gauges I do it with feel of each cleft as everyone needs different pressure. But one will be steadier pressing than the other, same amount in the end but gentler. But as I say I go by feel not a set gauge as it’s a natural product so needs to be treated as such in my very humble opinion

@@aldredcricketbats6953 I’ve seen a video of your pressing procedure, and I comprehend, and, agree to, what you just told me. I’ll be grateful if you could answer a follow-up question of mine. What, in your opinion, is the optimum moisture level (in %) a cleft should possess at the time it’s picked up for being crafted into a bat ? And, what’s the significance of the kiln, in reaching to that moisture content? Can’t we, simply, air-dry the cleft to the desired moisture level ?

Can’t we? Are you a manufacturer then?

@@aldredcricketbats6953 I'm not saying that...but, say, were we to get it down to around 10% moisture, why don't we put it into the kiln straight away ?

@@aldredcricketbats6953 I'm not a manufacturer; I'm only a cricket enthusiast. I've seen many a drying processes; some air dry it for 12 months, and some only upto 6 weeks; and while the British bat makers almost always use the kiln, the Indian bat makers don't. That's why I wanted to know what the Kiln does ?

I had someone bring a bamboo cleft in about 3 years ago. It weighed about 10lb. A heavy cleft of willow weighs around 5lb. So firstly a lot of r we irk to be done to make it viable weight wise. It’s all down to if the authorities sell their soul and allow a composite material to be used. And thirdly for me it’s a completely greed motivated thing. People are trying to make a quick buck out of cheap quality bats in a growing world of cricket. There’s plenty of willow if manufacturers are prepared to do a proper job and utilise all grades of willow. Personally think it won’t happen for quite a while

@@aldredcricketbats6953 Thank you for your reply, personally I would always favour willow, but would not dismiss others' rights to try bamboo if they so wished. Hope you bring out some more videos soon. Regards, L M - no reply necessary -

My first question is why oh why use thin round handles them stick 2 grips on it? Totally defeating having a thin handle to start with. Thin handles never pick up the same. But no two bats ever feel the same, no pros get two bats identical you always have a favourite and have to get used to the next one. Did in my professional times even more so now with mass produced bats. I’d ask your bat maker to alter the pick up for you

@@aldredcricketbats6953 Thanks so much for replying so promptly. You're absolutely right, Paul. Unfortunately, finding round handles these days is hard here in Canada. All the custom bats come with modern thin semi-oval handles here. And I'll go with your advice and instead of changing the handle or adding another 3rd grip, I will have him alter the pick up (which I suppose means to shave down the bat accordingly, yes??)

@@obliviousbanana5373 well it’s more a bit out the toe end really. 1/4 oz in the toe can have an ounce of feel in the blade

@@aldredcricketbats6953 you're a gem, Paul. And I hope you know that 💕 Wish to see you post more videos, please!!
