I'm 76 and recently began a restoration of some Clubs that belonged to my Grandfather in the 30's - 40's. Your video is very helpful and I look forward to learning more about the history and care of these clubs. Some are metal shafted and several are hickory. Jim Houston, TX.
As far as reaching into old pockets like that, in my neck of the woods one is likely to encounter a brown recluse spider which has a quite toxic bite. Give it a shake or two and they generally flee if they can get out.
Haven't bought any just yet, but am going in the Hickory direction. I was collecting 70's and 80's tour blades, now I'm going way back. It looks like fun and I'm sure I can swat a few with old school tools. Also I'm a craftsman, so I expect to work in a few.
@@timewarpgolf Picked up a mixed lot of 19 today. There are some good ones in here that'll get me started and I'll get a good bit of restoration experience. First one identified by year is a 1915-20 Macgregor Mashie. I'll be sorting and learning for a while yet!
@@beng4647I've built a "full set" of hickories now, regripped and re-pinned them all and played in a 2-day Hickory event. I've only cracked one shaft-and it was from hitting in tall grass. Don't play your best hickories out of deep rough or challenging conditions unless you don't mind replacing a shaft. I'll simply add a little glue to the cracked shaft and whip over the fracture. Also I bought a replica driver and it helped my tee shots dramatically. I wasn't doing so good with my vintage stuff and I'm pretty sure it's the shaft. I have hit some lovely shots from the fairway and putting--is putting.
Thank you for this tutorial. I look forward to seeing more videos.

My pleasure. Please ask questions if anything is unclear. Regards, Gavin.

Same here. Worried about snapping shafts though.
