    Re: Going rate for bat repair?

    If its a basic want as far as putting two pieces back together I found some great small clamps made by Irwin at Lowes that Have rubber tips on both sides and work great for glueing, the one caution is to check the wood periodically because it foams out of the crack which is not big deal if you wipe it immediately.

    I'm a carpenter and repair my own bats and friends. Never had a complaint. If anyone wants to try me, send me photos of the repair needed to my email and we'd go from there. I would not be as expensive as some of the prices quoted...


    Best,

    What is the ballpark rates on this sort of work? $50? $500 $5000? I'd just like a frame of reference.

    Also, has anyone gotten good results from either John Taube or Fred Lowman they could post?
    Taube's guy was great for me, highly recommended. Think I paid about $150 for a bat I had about a grand into. Sounds like you can't go wrong with Taube or Jeff @ Birdbats.

    Jeff has repaired several bats for me. All great results, and would use again. Go to birdbats@charter.net

    Jeff Scott aka Birdbats is the best!!! He has repaired over a dozen for me and he does top notch quality work.

    I've used Jeff in the past as well. Very good with his work and very reasonable.

    Ive used birdbats from the forum. Its been a while but he does good work. Ballpark depending on how bad the bat is, that ive been quoted is about fifty an hour.
