This is my homemade bladed putter using some bentbar/angle-steel, this is a brilliant addicting pastime (I say this because I have made over 7 putters all different shapes and materials, but this is the first time I have put steel and wood together on a putter) that is the perfect way to ease into the workshop life and get you started

Get your angle grinder and cut your angle steel to the length, height, and width you want

Get your sanding weapon of choice and attack those burs giving the putter nice smooth edges on the steel
Cut the Pieces of Wood for the Sides

Get your wood you chose and cut this wood to the length and height of your putter and add any detailing you feel like, I just cut a right angle on the inside edges of mine
Cut Handle for the Putter

Get your old cheap golf club and cut the head (the part you hit with) off and sand off those burs, prepare the handle to your liking (buffing or shining it up)
Drill Into the Wood and Attach the Handle

Get you drill and drill bit for drill a hole for your handle to slot into, be carful as you will need to make sure this drill bit is the same or a tiny bit less diameter than the golf handle at the bottom, remember you can't put back material if you take to much off so take your time and get this at the right diameter. Also remember to drill at an angle so that you are not standing straight over your putter this piece of wood in the picture is and example of the angle, and make sure to sand the edge of the drill hole free from any ugly burs
Glue Up

Glue all your pieces of wood in the correct place to your angle steel you prepared earlier using epoxy or any other strong hold glue of your choice, I like to use a good super glue as it is very strong for this purpose and dries in seconds and cures in hours and has never failed me once.
Oil/wax or a Finish of Your Choice

Finally, add a finish of your choice to the wood and go and sink those putts!!!!!
