I wanted to make a cricket bat for a school project and had a few questions for any bat makers out there:
1. Where is the best place to get a cleft and handle from in Australia?
2. What is the price and would the cleft have been pressed?
3. If the cleft doesn't come pressed, is there a way to manually press it (I don't have access to machinery)?
4. In all the tutorials I have scene, the handle is bound using a lathe and vice, as I stated, I don't have access to these things, is it possible to do this manually and how (I have lots of spare time)?
5. All in all, what would be the tools and materials I require?
Thanks a bunch
