Yes I can do it without a vice, i do it that way most of the time. I place the handle of the hurley under my left armpit, with bas forward and heel pointing upwards. It takes a bit of practice to become proficient. When you use the vice though , both of your hands are free which is an advantage, Regars , George "Master Mac"

Liam, The nails that are being used are 16mm long with a nice flat head. If you are banding a very light hurley you may need to shorten the nail with a snips before driving it. Be careful when trimming the nail that the offcut does not enter your eye !!

[@kod2579]

any tips on how to take off a band when the hurley is cracked and somone wants it to be fixed?

[@hurlingcork7575]

does that come with banding,snips,nails,punch and the master mac tool

[@peterdonovan]

Handy work there with the banding, is there anyway to lenghten a hurl I have a hurl from when I was younger but its about 2 inches two small! anyway to lenghten it?

[@MasterMacIreland]

Peter, a good hurley repair man can shorten or lengthen a hurley. Some time ago Athenry HC collected over 500 used and damaged hurleys throughout the Parish. Most were shortened and recycled to the local schools, a fantastic exercise. Feel free to ring me on 086 811 9450 and I will give you a steer. Kind Regards, George "Master Mac"

Who sells Hurls close to Galway city? I've seen all the hurls in different sports shops and they feel like kids hurls, I am 6, 2in, what is the longest they are made? Thanks anyone!

[@shredder9536]

Great job.

[@oasisgaminghd160]

@George McGrath Any Ideas Of How To Get The Glue (Purocol) Off The Hurley when its dry, (The Excess Glue)

[@MasterMacIreland]

Oasis Gaming HD. The best way to remove the excess dried glue is to literally scrape it off with a sharp chisel and then sand it off smooth. Purocol expands slightly when applied so you can use less of it than other glues. Basically apply it sparingly and so you reduce the excess. It is always wise to remove the excess glue with a sharp edge prior to sanding otherwise the excess glue will clog up and spoil the grit in your sanding paper. Best of luck, George "Master Mac"

[@kod2579]

all of the hurleys i have banded so far your nails have started to fall out from just hitting the ball how can i stop this happening?

[@MasterMacIreland]

K O'D, I haven't heard of this issue before. I am not sure but it could be that you are punching too large a hole in the banding prior to driving the nails. With a nice pointed punch, put a small neat hole in the band ,just enough to allow the nail to go through, that way the nail is a tight fit in both the band and wood. Best of luck, George "Master Mac"

[@jman141fool]

can u get just the roll of band & the nails ?

[@kod2579]

Do you sell the banding,glue and nails seperate from the bander? As i already hav a bander but not banding glue and nails.

[@fragz6204]

Do you take orders on weekends or bank holidays. I know you don’t deliver during these times I was just wondering, thanks

[@That0Homeless0Guy]

Isn't this banned in competition now? Or is that just under a certain age? I remember they made us all un band our hurleys years back before we could play for our parish. This was in Kerry near Tralee.

[@seansully4052]

That0Homeless0Guy banding is usually banned until about u12, im from ballyduff and this happened to a couple of people

[@davidhayes5189]

[@MasterMacIreland]

David, You can get a punch in good hardware shops though they may not be pointed ones. I supply them when required @ €10 . I am currently out of the country until the end of the month. Please email me then. Kind regards, George. "Mastermac "

[@cilliandowney9641]

Where do I order just the bander

[@MasterMacIreland]

Cillian , Please ring me on 086 811 9450 George MasterMac.

[@hawkeye101020]

You should use longer hails and put them thru the hoop at the other side and clinch them, otherwise all the nails will become lose over time.

[@MasterMacIreland]

Conor, Many thanks for your enquiry, please see below, you can have any combination of the different items. “Master Mac” bander (manual) €90 Roll band (100ft) €15 Nails ( 15mm , 500gr, 1000 nails) €15 Glue (Puracol) €15 Carriage, Fastway Couriers €7 Total cost delivered, €142 Payment is by postal order . Please ring me with your details, address etc and I will give you my details. When the postal order arrives the kit goes out the same day by Fastway Couriers to arrive next day. Instructions come with it but I recommend a viewing of the demo on the Donedeal advert. You can also view it on www.mastermac.ie The band comes in rolls of 100ft, enough to put a single band on approx. 80 hurleys. The band is the standard 16mm in width, but what is critical about it is the thickness which is 0.4mm. Other banding can vary between 0.5 and 0.8mm in thickness and as such can be too heavy for the hurley especially if you need to fit two bands. This creates an obvious weight increase to the hurley.

Ash tree (what Hurls are made from because it has a give in it (bends) unlike beech). We need more Native trees Ash, "Irish Oak" in Ireland (beech is not Native to Ireland). Only 5% of land in Ireland is under trees and the majority of that 5% the trees are in our headge rows!! "Ireland" the least wooded part of western Europe.
