    Brad Gresock, Don't you pay any attention to the negative comments....they wish they could be doing what you are doing...they probably flipping burgers somewhere...you inspire some of the youth to do creative thing with their spare time.... by the way... thank you.

    Man that was great! I'm a guitar maker so have plenty of maple and ash about - looks like I'm going to make a bat next. One tip brad get a branding iron made up and put your mark on the knob end it'll look really pro.

    Just a tip for anyone working on a lathe, do NOT wear long sleeves. I have personally seen someone get their sleeve caught in one cause they accidently got to close an it left a pretty bad gash on his arm. Sadly although he was injured he was lucky it wasn't worse.

    Good video, I suggest you round the top tip of the barrel because if the ball makes contact there it could be dnagerous

    It's great to see a guy woodturning at such a young age as well as making practical items. However, I'm amazed to see you still alive seeing the dangerous angle at which you are holding the roughing out gouge! By the way, my first lathe I had was the same one (by the look of it). I bought it in the early 1990's and it was already second hand then! But I suspect yours is an American-made lathe and I know mine was a cheap Chinese copy. But it served me well for 10+ years and it's still turning out projects at the home of a pal to whom I eventually gave it. Nice bat collection though. Kudos and a "like" from me (notwithstanding the awful chisel angle!!).

  • @integr8er66
    @integr8er66 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you tried any other wood types, I am making one for my grandson, and he is only 5 years old, so I want it very light, and obviously he isn't going to be breaking bats yet, so I was thinking of light woods like red cedar or something equally attractive but mostly light in weight.

  • @billklein9633
    @billklein9633 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this video. I know its a bit old..but wondering if you could recommend an inexpensive lathe to get started on. Or any specs. Going to look on Ebay

  • @staceygorgulho158
    @staceygorgulho158 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    that is really cool . you should make a video on how to paint them. you should sell them you would get a lot of money!!!!!!!

  • @huskyjerk
    @huskyjerk 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    You don't shape the end to round it off? By doing so would allow you to reduce bat weight thus giving you more bat speed.

  • @cashenewans9648
    @cashenewans9648 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How would you flare the hand of your bat? Most wooden bats have flare just after the knob on the handle. Would you also be able to round the end of the knob of the bat? Just asking cause I am doing a similar project to this and I would like to include these features.

    • @ExposClassics94
      @ExposClassics94 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cashe Newans you would use a screwed chisel tool, practice first on some smaller wood pieces, from my experience it is a little difficult

  • @jamietaglang1136
    @jamietaglang1136 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Have you made profit selling or just do it for fun? The equipment must be expensive - also do you use your bats during your own games? +Brad Gresock

    • @jamietaglang1136
      @jamietaglang1136 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also how much did the lathe cost - I'm finding them for just under $500

    • @Shaduck1
      @Shaduck1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm guessing it is just for fun because little leagues, high schools, and colleges all require certain specs to use a bat. You can just bring a bat you made because it isn't labeled by a manufacturer to say it is up to spec. He may however just play pickup games with friends.

    • @TheThissucksalot
      @TheThissucksalot 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as it is a wooden bat and doesn't go over maximum sizes you can make your own bats. Composite and aluminum bats are the ones with all the restrictions.

    • @hadmiar8
      @hadmiar8 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wooden bats come and go. It's a fact of life. When they break you buy a new one or make a new one, like he does.

      Hey Luke, can not be sure but his lathe looks similar to a older Craftsman tube lathe. You can look on Craigslist (may take a few months) but you can find something close. $75-$150. Cutting tools included is a good deal. Just my 2¢.
