Just a quick update on what has been happening since my last blog post.
I received a job interview at one of the largest cricket manufactures in the world Gunn & Moore at the end of February, The position was for an apprentice batmaker.
In the interview I was given a factory tour and given the opportunity to show my skills to the Master Batmaker and I hope I impressed him. Within a week I had a phone call offering me a job, which was a dream for me and i duly snapped off his arm for the job.
So since March when I started I have learnt so much and gained so much, I have implemented this into my batmaking and repairs. I have since had many repairs threw word of mouth due to the job and I have had some great feedback on my work, which included dowling, Grafting and major crack repairs.
I will be doing a few posts over the coming weeks (hopefully) on Grading and Pressing so I hope to see some interesting comments to these topics.
