Hello, can anyone tell what tool/step he used after sanding? It was an spinning machine. Can't really tell the purpose or the name of it

[@artieward3899]

Very therapeutic clip, impressive work 👏

[@f2pgamingcastleclashmore119]

i have a question as to why dont some sort of plastic "shoes" for the toe end of the bat exist in cricket? like something that can be clipped on to bats, to help against wear and tear of the toe end, so that once the plastic part starts to wear out, it is easily removed and replaced cheaply by another one at any given time. i think itll help bats last a lot longer. im sure something can easily be designed on a 3d printer, which wont effect any playing either.

I missed your content so bad! Welcome back ^.^

Hey, thanks!

[@atulbelwal3505]

Hlo sir , Do this tape and apoxy you used in toe while works and handle the hard hitting. And also please tell which material you use as gum\apoxy.

[@FantailCricket]

Yes, this repair should last for multiple seasons.

do you ever get any duncan fearnley bats coming into your workshop? you dont see em nowdays. ive still got mine, tho its retired with me

[@FantailCricket]

We had a few new ones come through a couple of years ago for knocking in. Other than that, probably only a few for a tidy-up that people have purchased second-hand for their bat collections.

[@ashikujjaman7880]

Exellent extraordinary hand work.

I don't know why but it annoys me when you use a pen to do the markings instead of a pencil. nice work by the way

Hello. What is the mixture of the two glues you use?

[@ahmaddawood6166]

Epoxy

[@billytubes]

Very satisfying 👌

[@FantailCricket]

Glad you think so!

[@atishayjain9555]

Sir why you not apply glue instead that this bat glue why?

[@sumeetpanesar6270]

Hey Fantail, Would be kind enough to share some details on the jig that you have made to cut the handle V. It would appreciated if you could 👍. Cheers

[@mittalmayank03]

@Sumeet Panesar - I don't think they would. Did you get that information from anywhere else?

[@sumeetpanesar6270]

@@mittalmayank03 na saw some videos and used hand saw to cut the handle.

[@serwoody7685]

Hi, what glue did you use in the repair?

[@FantailCricket]

Epoxy for the handle, shoulders & toe. PVA for the dowels and binding.

[@edwardchester1]

I'm intrigued by the economics of a repair like this. Seems like $100-$200 or so in labor and a quick search for one of those bats suggest it's around $300. Seems like a brand new bat would ultimately last longer?

[@FantailCricket]

I believe this was a player's grade 2021 GN, so brand new this bat would retail at $999NZD. Bats also perform better with use so after this repair, It will likely outperform a brand-new version of the same bat.

[@edwardchester1]

@@FantailCricket Thanks for the info!

[@Chaingangsoldiernit]

Amazing. Subscirbed!

[@Vincentjwhite]

Can someone explain the purpose of drilling those holes into the edges, and then hammering those dowels in?

[@artieward3899]

Strengthen split cracks in the shoulders of the bat, more support

[@rocky69446able]

But Does the hole for the dowels need to reach till the handle? Or it doesn't have to?

[@abhideepsingh9793]

Keep it up

[@christopherholman9174]

I’m confused as to why you cut the tow of the bat off. This will now make the bat a shorter blade bat, is that what the customer wanted. Handle I get to cut the top off to SH, SSH etc but why the toe of the bat?

[@silvrfruit]

Answered in the video.

[@lefthookjake]

Why did you cut soo much of the toe off?

[@silvrfruit]

He answered that at the end of the video.

[@tomwebb5420]

What’s that tape you put on the toe?

is that medical tape used in the toe?

[@salehbhana4000]

@@FantailCricket Does it gives any extra strength to a weak-repaired toe or its just to avoid water damage like a normal rubber toe guard ?

You right

Wish I could buy a bat like this but I can't cause I don't have that kind of money

The bat broke because of the square toe.

The person using an iron hammer for wood can never be a true wood worker. Reference is for dowels inserted by an iron hammer.

[@markdonnelly1913]

I have to admit to a bit of confusion. Spending so much on a repair for a bat when a replacement would be cheaper. I do understand the love of the old bat, but if you loved the bat so much, then how could you let it fall into such a poor state.

[@LaineDavies]

This probably cost $200 or so. New bay like this would be $700+

[@FantailCricket]

Correct, the repair costs just under $200NZD to replace the same bat would cost $1000NZD.
