Making cricket bats 1950s style.

I love watching craftsmen like this. Somehow made a little more authentic with the cigarette tucked behind the ear!!

Craftsmanship at its finest to produce a thing of beauty. It relaxes me just watching that. 🏏❤️

loving these old videos !!!

I love them too Dave. They seem like they’re from happier, simpler times.

After scrolling through hate and trolls on X all day, I finally got to see something better.

The half-smoked tab behind the ear! Proper!

I bet some of that hasn't changed that much, especially the back of the meat of the bat which was still hand shaved when I visited Gray-Nicolls a few years ago

Wow. Plus think of all the hard work we had to do to bash them in , oil them ,let them stand for a while and then only use them. I wound get a bar for Christmas and couldn’t use it for 2 weeks as had to get it ready. I grew up in the southern hemisphere. Now straight out the box

This is a great video

Another gem WG!
