I have a bat made by Julian in 1993 when he was at M and H in Taunton, believe it or not it is Still in superb condition and is still played, many people, over the years have borrowed it and been absolutely astonished at its balance and power, just a marvellous example of the bat makers art. J M is a master.
Mind Blowing, Bet that you could pick up the best Bat from the leading Manufacturers like Gray-Nicholls, GM, Kookaburra, SS or CA but you won't get the same service and durability out of them like you will by one masterfully crafted by an experienced Bat maker.
@@bilalmalik5002 I think Gray-Nicholls are still hand made in a small village in the England 10 bats per day if I remember I think it was a video by Ade Edmonson the wingman of Rik Mayall
@@dt2419 Nope Gray-Nicolls is the longest-running bat making firm in the United Kingdom, at 162 years old. The factory is based in Robertsbridge in East Sussex, always making cricket bats from the highest quality English Willow, grown on our own land up and down the country.
@@rokhnroll oh yeah no you’re right mate, my mistake, I was having a mental blank and forgot that while Gray nics is huge in Aus it wasn’t actually founded here. Don’t know how it slipped my mind to be honest.
Whatever the actor is doing here .. doesn't matter .. Julian Milichamp is a household name in the art bat-making..the quality of the bats he makes shall matter more than the .. actor's performance in the video
Nicely made bat. Only thing I don't like is the stickers. Would hope that the bat gets knocked in before use and an oiling before applying that cover sheet. Wish the customer knew how to test the bat. Not just stand in the stance with it ......
I watch almost 2-3 times in a week like a repeated movie. Sad to hear he not making any bats anymore but as a pod shaver I miss him and one day I wish make bats like rather than just repairing 🙏🏼
Mixed feelings when it comes to Julian's bats. Had a Millichamp & Hall 30 years ago and it was the best bat I ever used. Without a doubt would hold up against any bat made today. A fantastic middle. A great bat. On that basis I bought my young bloke a made to order Screaming Cat sight unseen over the internet in 2010. Without a doubt the worst bat I ever bought. Had a huge knot in the middle of it and it was clear an attempt was made to remove it. End result being a large dead spot right where the sweet spot should have been. You win some you lose some.
Reminds me of the "paddle" that one of the teachers at my school in 7th grade used to "impart negative reinforcement" for unacceptable behavior. The difference is that he had holes drilled in it so it whistled as it was coming towards your back / backside. I had bruises from my shoulders to my ankles after one such encounter with him.
For someone with the skills, tools and experience of Julian Millichamp, I'd guess less than 2 hours per bat, but that's just a guess based on my own (very) limited woodworking experience.
Nice art done you screaming cat!!👍 Great job. By the way I've just 1 question is the - which willow you had used to make bats?. Ohh it's obviously will be english willow. But still you Australians have your own willow villow??
Hey mate, I live in ballarat and heard you used to live in daylesford, is there any chance I can get a custom bat if I tell you my batting details? Please reply
Hey Julian.. The passion in your craft is commendable.. but the dude who you making a bat for doesn't have a proper stance or a backlift to test the bat.. hope I will get a custom made one too.. I am a left hander.. My strengths are cover, square, straight, leg glance & hook. I am weak at tackling good length at leg and advancing towards them. I would like to come back foot swiftly and defend them accurately or sweep or on drive. But I reaction time is slow with my 1.25 kg Adidas Pellara. What should i be looking for if I go for a custom made which will help me improve my game. and timing.
wildgun95 yar it's a skill and it's not about who is better or not it's love for cricket and these guys don't make a fortune too! Unless he has 1000"s of buyers :)
he's just showcasing the bats he makes for people and plus if he says the bat is shit and doesnt brag a little bit, then people woundn't want the bat eh
+dhonidhamaka1 buddy im from the subcontinent and i know about mr Millichamp and ur user name suggests ur an indian! ppl in the subcontinent know a little about mr Millichamp but i was really surprised to know many know about mr james laver (the best bat maker in the world according to me) I own two special reserve cricket bats custom made u would be surprised to know mr james made me the special reserve willow grade bat with 40mm edges no concaving!!!!!!!! and if u know anything about bats u would think that would be a super power full bat and very heavy upto 2;15 pounds but suprisingly it weighed just around 2;9 2;9.1..... thats handcraftsmanship at its best sachin sanath jayawardene all these legends had contact with sir JAMES LAVER THAT IS ONE HECK OF A TALENTED GUY
It's nice to see things like this that are handmade by a professional who knows a hell of a lot more about joining two pieces of wood together with glue than your average dude. This is the way things SHOULD be made that matter to you, be it your watch or fishing pole or a good suit. We today are surrounded by rubbish from China (like your device you're reading this on) and mass made bats from Asia just don't have the soul like these. Forget cost and money, I'd rather have a SC even as a splash bat for a lifetime rather than a new Slazenger or GN Indian log every few seasons, wouldn't you? Supporting Aussie business too!😌
indian made slazenger or gm bat are total shit and a waste of money.and practically nobody uses it for matches or even net practice because: . from the view of an indian it's costly a bat with same edge measure of SS or SG would be better and worth the money
Must of chosen the bat based on him being ambidextrous says the pick up feels great as he picks it up right handed, then says the bottom hand feels great as he bats left handed, then again reverts to being right handed when he's finished shaping the bat hell of bat and player in that case bad actor though.
he forgotten the most important part of the bat making which is 'Compressing" without compressing the bat will make hollow sound and ball will not go anywhere, and the client is not a cricketer and you can say that easily if you are a cricketer, look how he grips the bat, lol
if you knew what you were talking about you would have noticed the blade and handles are already assembled, compression of the blade happens prior to the final stage of shaping, which is what he did in this video, it was the final shaping to the customers requirements. These bats are regarded as one of the finest handmade bats in the world

lets hope this art gets transferred forward. Increasingly becoming rare by the day.
that's what i call a perfect service
Brilliant video and walk through sir!!!
I'd be happy to own a bat made by a man who handles tools like you do.
That’s the world record for putting fastest grip 😂
That customer is a paid actor.
A very "wooden" preformance by the actor, i thought :P
No he is not.

millchamp made bats for gillchrist you nong
does it really matter?
Incredibly skillful, lovely to watch.
Great craftmanship, excellent bat shapes for young players to drive and hit boundaries

Leon Hingston the face does the same job as oil on the face
'that is an absolute beautiful bat' .... couldnt agree more ....
He is pod shaver master Mr Julian Millichamp. I was meet him When I was worked in Ms Ranson Sports Industry india 🇮🇳 Punjab Jalandhar
Wow what a straight bat,An Ideal choice 👍🏻
I watch almost 2-3 times in a week like a repeated movie. Sad to hear he not making any bats anymore but as a pod shaver I miss him and one day I wish make bats like rather than just repairing 🙏🏼
Give the guy a break, he's been doing it for years, can you's make one as good as him!
Look at that boy's arms and legs 😂😂😂
Good job he’s good at making cricket bats because his acting skills ain’t to great 😂
So delightful to watch..
Nice craftmanship

Salute to every bat artist
damn, this makes me wish i played cricket and lived in australia
Great craftsmanship

Very nice handcrafted bat
the way that guy was testing the bat I'm sure he got selected for under 14 squad...
hahahhahaha
one of the best bat ever
While 200rs daily wage bat worker in meerut
: hold my wood
The handle has only 2 rubber inserts. Is it as good as from the ones we get with 3 inserts?
Nice work
is that ready to use?
so nice bat
This makes me want to take up pod shaving. Too bad there's no one in Canada who can teach this skill.
How long does this process take?
For someone with the skills, tools and experience of Julian Millichamp, I'd guess less than 2 hours per bat, but that's just a guess based on my own (very) limited woodworking experience.
Took him about 3 hours to make mine.
Sir," GREAT CRICKET BATS" How much and can I get one in Canada?
Where is this shop man!!
The guys batting technique is awful!
true ...... he did not seem to have an idea of whats going on
That straight drive will get him caught behind or in the slips every time
Maybe he's a beginner
If he's a beginner he's defiantly doing it wrong getting a custom bat made then lol
Maybe he is appointed by him to show his work and maybe advertise for the company

Prbath Neranja Sachin also got bats hand made from Mr Millichamp !
Trying to call out julian millichamp on his bat making is like telling Steve Remfry he doesn't know how to make a thigh pad. Utterly ridiculous
*precompressed*
That sticker though......Screaming awful
😂
