I’m not currently offering work with coated putters, but I can remove milled dots and have the metal finished ready for recoating elsewhere.

@@KANEKIDWELDS Okay cool, so would I need to get the paint stripped before I sent it to y'all? Or do y'all have that capability? Sorry for all the questions.

No problem with prep👊🏼 I can strip the coating for the weld work. I appreciate the questions and interest I’m my craft! Thank you!

Where do you get the necks for the putters? Are you ordering them?

Thanks! I love this work!

Thanks so much for sharing! I love this work!

Aswel as your finish work is real similar

The 2” Pferd diamond Disc on the Milwaukee 90° is 😮‍💨🔥

Thanks!!

Thanks!!!

Only raw stainless oxide. Applying anything into it will darken the vibrancy & I don’t want that. I’m easy on my tools & if it ever wears away, I know the guy to restore it😉

@@KANEKIDWELDS oh yeah, got it thanks 👍👍👍

Ty!!!! ​@@KANEKIDWELDS

You CRUSHED it! I still can’t believe you managed to feed filler like that your first time welding! 🤘🏼

Yeah, a lot of techniques and years of tricks in one day . :)

Thanks! Stamping and Fills are done by Weston Maughan

Thanks!!!! I will definitely keep you in mind! I’m on the welding/fab side of metal working & haven’t been much of a machinist (simple lathe). It’s good to know where materials can be supplied & you carry exotics🔥

A quick search showed similar, possibly less vintage or valuable, putters going for close to a thousand. Certainly worth a few minutes of welding and sanding to bring back to life.

That works well for surface cleaning, likely nothing better! These have the oil/contamination embedded and locked inside of the grain structure from the quench-hardening process. Best I know for this is to warm the grain until it releases oils, then follow with the ultrasonic. Acetone lifts oils away & soapy hot water removes what the acetone won’t dilute. I also like to isopropyl rinse parts after water wash for the best clean I can get.

Just as likely to warp again as it cools down. If you fixture it in place, it'll probably just spring back as soon as it's unclamped. That said, I'm curious if there are any special properties lost by heating it, either by welding or annealing in a furnace.

@@dwaynesykes694 I’m talking about orange hot and the press will cool it down so it’ll be flat in the press.

@@RadDadisRad ask any knifemaker how well flattening an orange hot piece of metal in a press goes. The rapid cooling from the press, which acts like a giant heatsink, actually creates rather tremendous stresses. It'll spring back into a banana shape the second you take it out of the press. Flattening/straightening is done pretty much the same way as here, with targeted application of heat and a solid understanding of how the metal will move as a result of that application of heat. Alternatively, if you have enough material present, you can anneal/stress relieve the piece in a heat treat oven with slow, controlled cooling, it'll move how it wants based on existing internal stress that's relieve during heat treat, then machine it into the desired finished shape. It'll move again a bit if subsequently heat treated, but it should be minimal given a well-controlled process. Final dimensions can be achieved by grinding after heat treat.

@@dwaynesykes694 works well, most of them do it.

Thanks for your input with this response! Great further explanation of how technical this is and the process to control it!

This is custom made for personal style & the specific modifications are for user playability. How it’s been styled, is so it looks like this. How is built, is to match specific body mechanics to better control the flow of the putter throughout the arc of the swing. This is set with a long neck, that balances the face of the putter and redirects the arced swing path to be more linear (straight back and straight forward with less arc). Also, with the extended neck, it allows for a closer foot to ball position, that lets the eyes look down more directly over the ball to see the rolling line of the intended putt. This is also built with more loft than standard, to accommodate for forward shaft lean, producing a true dynamic angle of attack on the ball.

@@KANEKIDWELDS Wow. It's mind boggling to have a glimpse of how much thoughts and considerations go into such a thing. The question is then why don't they do it this way to being with? I think I remember seeing you on Instagram cutting the original putter and adding this 2-3 inches long extension. So why not manufacture it this way to being with? Or are you "tailoring" it to the physical build of a one specific player?

@@danl.4743 cutting this from a much larger block of metal would be the step for a one piece milled construction. This style doesn’t match the movements of the majority of players, so it would be a very expensive and smaller market to manufacture for. It definitely is done in one piece for elite players that have proven engineering specs for their setup, or private customers paying for it. A lot of pro golfers putters are cut and rebuilt to their specs just like this one is, & sometimes look like a monster that works out perfectly for them. Kinda like shoes, it’s best when you find comfort and a great fit, all with a style that gives a boost of self-confidence.

@@KANEKIDWELDS Got it. Thanks!

This is exactly what happens with welding. The surface heat tint will be removed when this gets blasted and refinished. This is metalwork & how things are made.
