Conor, Once payment is received, the "Master Mac" products are dispatched the same day to arrive the following day by courier. We pride ourselves on prompt delivery. Many thanks, George "Master Mac".
Yes I can do it without a vice, i do it that way most of the time. I place the handle of the hurley under my left armpit, with bas forward and heel pointing upwards. It takes a bit of practice to become proficient. When you use the vice though , both of your hands are free which is an advantage, Regars , George "Master Mac"
Liam, The nails that are being used are 16mm long with a nice flat head. If you are banding a very light hurley you may need to shorten the nail with a snips before driving it. Be careful when trimming the nail that the offcut does not enter your eye !!
Handy work there with the banding, is there anyway to lenghten a hurl I have a hurl from when I was younger but its about 2 inches two small! anyway to lenghten it?
Peter, a good hurley repair man can shorten or lengthen a hurley. Some time ago Athenry HC collected over 500 used and damaged hurleys throughout the Parish. Most were shortened and recycled to the local schools, a fantastic exercise. Feel free to ring me on 086 811 9450 and I will give you a steer. Kind Regards, George "Master Mac"

Who sells Hurls close to Galway city? I've seen all the hurls in different sports shops and they feel like kids hurls, I am 6, 2in, what is the longest they are made? Thanks anyone!
K O'D, I haven't heard of this issue before. I am not sure but it could be that you are punching too large a hole in the banding prior to driving the nails. With a nice pointed punch, put a small neat hole in the band ,just enough to allow the nail to go through, that way the nail is a tight fit in both the band and wood. Best of luck, George "Master Mac"
Oasis Gaming HD. The best way to remove the excess dried glue is to literally scrape it off with a sharp chisel and then sand it off smooth. Purocol expands slightly when applied so you can use less of it than other glues. Basically apply it sparingly and so you reduce the excess. It is always wise to remove the excess glue with a sharp edge prior to sanding otherwise the excess glue will clog up and spoil the grit in your sanding paper. Best of luck, George "Master Mac"

Isn't this banned in competition now? Or is that just under a certain age? I remember they made us all un band our hurleys years back before we could play for our parish. This was in Kerry near Tralee.

Other banding can vary between 0.5 and 0.8mm in thickness and as such can be too heavy for the hurley especially if you need to fit two bands. This creates an obvious weight increase to the hurley.

Did ya fold the bedsheets for the missus when you finished the video?! :-)

Great job.

You should use longer hails and put them thru the hoop at the other side and clinch them, otherwise all the nails will become lose over time.
