I came across this video which was posted on CricketInsight so I thought I'd share with you guys as well;

Wow! that was a great find.

Really interesting to see how they used to do it, and how technology has changed.

Glad you enjoyed it, but don't you agree with the fact that even today the making is still very similar, obviously things have improved but mainly like cutting clefts etc shape, tools etc all that is still similar.

Did you see how handles are made? Looks a hectic job I must say.
