BEAUTIFUL PUTTER !!

[@skeleswing2131]

Nice craftsmanship!Will you make a personalized putter for me?

[@beng4647]

Very cool!

[@KleyDeJong]

Great build! I'm thinking of doing something similar. What's the purpose of heating the brass at the start?

[@jamesrobinson949]

Wow, if that putter stands up on its own it must weight a ton! Or just have a very short shaft. Where do you find the copper bar?

[@colebremer902]

The copper was a remnant from a metal supply shop.

Cool man!

[@ethanskelton9695]

Ever think about selling?

[@tylerbosheers33]

What did you use to make that design on the face like that?

[@tylerbosheers33]

And what did you insert into the holes on the back? This is awesome!

[@colebremer902]

Tyler, The face was "jewled" by using a small bit of red sctochbrite pad glued to a wooden dowel in the drill press which makes those circular swirl patterns. The holes on the back were just left open, they were mostly an attempt to lighten the head up, but it is still very, very heavy haha. Thank you! -Cole

Where did you purchase the shaft and grip from?

[@colebremer902]

Codey, Amazon and eBay both have pretty good selection of shafts/grips. Thanks!

@@colebremer902, I sure do appreciate it! I want to make a wood putter.

What was the pen that added color to the stamped impressions?

[@colebremer902]

Jacob, That was just a "paint pen", you can find something similar at Home Depot or hardware stores. Any paint will work. The idea is just to get the paint to fill the recessed areas, then wipe off the excess leaving the paint in the lettering not on the other surfaces. Thanks! -Cole

Dollar tree nail polish works better

[@beng4647]

Love the build though. Inspiring

[@cohenkevinloriqueen818]

your putter doesn't conform to USGA rules ....

[@colebremer902]

I'm sure you're right about that! I'll have to make another one when I make it on the PGA Tour! 👍
