Great that you're using all of your restored tools to make something even if you think it's unnecessary it's still really cool. Just a tip I learned growing up, if you're keeping it by your bedside at night be sure to put a long sock on it, this way if you swing and they grab it, they're only left with a sock and you get another swing :)
Or you use a teeball bat and are close enough to clock them with your off hand. The Captain Insane-O move is highly effective in a home defense situation.
only downside is, with a heavy weapon you will easily get tired after killing 10 zombies, the 11th zombie might find you easier to attack. and there can be a crowd of them. i like what this dude did here, but with the zombie apocalypse, i still believe a 4' steel fighting staff with permanent jungle machetes at each end can effectively control a zombie crowd.
@donkey ass reviews and do's how would he have corked it? if you read the video title the thing is SOLID aluminium. not like those baseball bats you find in a store. it's a single freaking piece of aluminium. that's also why in the description he makes a point of saying it was really heavy. because it's made of solid aluminium, which is pretty heavy
@donkey ass reviews and do's well that's obviously true, however the entire bat is solid aluminium, so there's no real way to put cork inside it. it's not made in two pieces and hollow, the whole thing is a single cast of aluminium.
You should check your circular saw blade! It's either for "cross wood" (?) or dull (burned out the wood). And it's a lil bit deep. The ground of the tooth must come out of the wood. Greetings from a wood worker ;-)
Greetings. I stumbled upon your comment and was wondering. The burn marks on the wood was due to what reason? I'm asking because I experienced the same issues to. My blade is brand new but each time I ran a wood through, it'll come out with burn marks. Hope to hear from you soon. Novice woodworker.
@@blazejake6519 Hi Blaze. Check the teeth of the blade. They can cut cross the wood or along the fiber. They are also different kind of them on a blade. Check the sum of the teeth. Some blades got over 60 teeth other only 40. Buy a more expensive blade. Do not save money when buying a saw blade. For more Infos check: makezine.com/2016/09/15/understanding-saw-blade-essentials/ If you have questions write a comment. Hope my english isn't too bad (my mothertongue is german). Be safe ;-)
@@blazejake6519 wood density is also a factor. But all in all cutting wood properly revolves around proper saw blades. Pushing too hard against the blade will also do this. Especially when cutting dense wood like oak.
@@Bl0ckfett Hi friend. I see I see. Didn't know the number of teeth on a blade makes an impact on the wood. Thank you for your reply. Noted. I'll have a look at the article too. Thanks again for the help. Appreciate the effort.
Absolute Beast of a thing. Would be a great bat to warm up with. I bet it would build you up too. Swinging a regular bat would be like thin air after ½ an hour throwing that monster around. 👊😂 Excellent work sir.
Careful if you're hitting anything with real resistance behind it (concrete wall, tree trunk). Non-extruded aluminum tends to have weird weak points from uncontrolled cooling that can lead to breaks in unexpected ways. What was the wood you used for the form by the way? It seemed really hard for the saw to chew through. A hardwood?
hello I was going to ask you the name of the sand you used for the cast and I read the first comment. it's usually impossible in these types of videos to know what was used and how, so I was impressed with how you explained everything in the description ... I don't know if others do it but it was very useful ... sorry for the english by google translator and congratulations again✌✌
Putting a riser on top of the thick part of the bat could have prevented the little bit of shrinking that you got. Then just chop it off after on the bandsaw and file/sand smooth on the lathe.
Great and nice work ! Gotta love the ASMR sounds from your vids bruh...Need this as a domestic defensive weapon, to carry in a car or to have it at home. Greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿
Ok, so I'm a huge sword, axe, whatever guy. I have a pretty big collection, including Leithreit Norse sword, a lowlander claymore, and an Irish Ringsword, so I do love swords, and the like. That said, I've always felt that based solely on their ease of use, and simple concept that aluminium baseball bats are the most versatile, and useful of modern melee weapon options. So this is a really cool project to me! I think though, and this may be why you were at such a loss with it, that they are supposed to be hollow, making them extremely lightweight. Though, I bet that this one you've made could withstand a LOT more punishment over time. P.S. I don't give a crap about Baseball (or sports) much either.
It's very rare to have a air bubble with molten metal however make sure to pack the dirt very hard against whatever your using as an outline and have both the air hole and the hole you pour the metal into
OK now either: Somehow drill alternating holes through the top, make some custom nails and fit them perfectly in so you've got the world's scariest nailbat... OR Wrap a big, tightly wound knob of fiber tape on the very end and make yourself a modern maul. In fact, wrap that handle in fiber tape and you've got the aesthetic down.
To be fair, smashing bricks like that is pretty easy, I could get a similar result with a normal claw hammer. It's a lot more challenging when they're laid in a wall.
Excelente trabajo, tanto en el torneado como en fundir y hacer el molde para el aluminio. Tengo alrededor de 60 kilos de latas de aluminio; como cuántos cm3 de aluminio salen de esa cantidad al fundirlo? Agradezco mucho tu respuesta amigo ya que quiero fabricarme una plancha de 40 x 60 cm y 1 pulgada de espesor. Saludos desde Reynosa Tamaulipas México!!!
Is the something wrong with putting a bandsaw against the wall? I wasn't aware of the social stigma. I apologize that this one insignificant detail so triggers you.
@@PiousWildcarde it's not insignificant... Have you ever used a bandsaw? You know what they are for right? Usually cutting and spinning long and wide objects at every angle to design things?
Long time ago I purchased an aluminum baseball bat for home defense (I thought will be enough) but after watching videos on home invasions, I donated it to Goodwill and purchased a Glock 17, and now, due to crime have escalated and police respond is about 12 minutes, I added an AR15, just in case.
Aluminum change color right depending on the heat of flame it will turn silver blue and i like silver blue but black is more cool and very serious appearance in object

when i saw you start hitting things with the bat I asked myself why. Then a few moments later I asked myself why not and everything made sense.
Great to see the tools you've restored being used, awesome project. Nice to see the cast axes in the background to....I still want one!
You're amazing this is hilariously overkill I'm glad you're having fun with your casting projects
تسلم يدك
Lift that blade up another 5mil on that table saw
Could use a new blade too 😂
The whole way that was done freaked me out lol
Yeah that blade is done. All the burns in the cut.
My thoughts exactly. The blade is toast.
@@need100k it's not toast it made toast. Lol
The zombies won't even have a chance against this.

Don't let antifa get their hands on one of these!

Excellent work sir.
your tablesaw blade seems to be a tad dull mate...
I was trying to figure out how you'd use your lathe. You made a hittin stick.
Awesome! What does the newsprint between the boards do? Wick moisture out so it cures faster?
Nevermind, that makes sense now.
Thanks! It's used to prevent a good adhesion between the two boards, so they can be separated easility once the shaping it's done.
I KNEW that metal lathe would lead to awesome projects!!!! EXCELLENT JOB MATE!!
Kindly, what are you using as a drossing and degassing fluxes for aluminium
Really like the way you polished that Knob at the end. LOL🤣🤣
I miss MP Dragon. 😔 whatever happened to him?
Anyway, great video. I want to make one myself but lack the hardware.

I think his saw blade is just blunt. Hence all the burning on the wood. Why would you use a good hardwood for a form? Total waste if it was.

Wow.. your workshop have everything.. machine shop, fabrication, and even a small foundry.. terbaek!
Really worth for all the hard work. Infact, I liked the process when it was getting being made. Awesome & neat job!
Metal Bat from One Punch Man would love your job

Could've just got a post.
AH HA, Got it.
What did it weigh, i couldn't see.
That reminds me of the Hero, Metal Bat's, bat. Except the black an silver color on it are switched around.

I know it's a just for fun smasher. But I think a white grip tape handle and wood grain paint on that black would look amazing!
Would that sudden thickness difference halfway up not act as a weak point? If you held the bat with both hands near the bottom?
Hey, newbie here... Are there any chances of air bubble formation during the casting, and if it does what kind of precaution should we take?
It's very rare to have a air bubble with molten metal however make sure to pack the dirt very hard against whatever your using as an outline and have both the air hole and the hole you pour the metal into
I salute your bravery on the table saw! :-D
Do you think you can make a bat from aluminum tubing? The solid bat is really cool. Great job.
5:50 What is that brown thing?
Why did you put newspaper in between the wood when you glued the wood together?
OK now either:
Somehow drill alternating holes through the top, make some custom nails and fit them perfectly in so you've got the world's scariest nailbat...
OR
Wrap a big, tightly wound knob of fiber tape on the very end and make yourself a modern maul.

Uuuufff
Where can I buy that?!
Great work, Sir. Your method of creating a two part split pattern was genius! I have learned a great deal from watching your videos. Thank you.
The newspaper technique is not new. Its been in use for a loooooong time. Its still a good trick tho'.
Nice. I have a question though: what's with the newspaper when you were gluing the two halves?
Oh .. .I should have just watched a bit more. Never mind!
Why do you cut the wood to length by hand when you have a table saw?
Coooooool. The brick-smashing bit was amazing. It looked like that required very little physical effort on your part, heh.
To be fair, smashing bricks like that is pretty easy, I could get a similar result with a normal claw hammer. It's a lot more challenging when they're laid in a wall.

I don't suppose you played baseball growing up but now you have some security near you while making and restoring stuff!
Great job but what are the measurements of the bat ,how wide and how long
What size crucible did you use?
Was this weighed in glapenscootens or hippenglootens?
Is this bat for sale? May I purchase this bat?
My respects for your effort of making a wooden one first from scratch. Knowing my lazy ass I would've bought one and slice it in half.
Nice job man! Greets! 😎👍
Ciao Ragazzo, Why dont you cast a small cannon barrel?
Fantastic. Would be cool to see the entire bat polished. Just an opinion. I want one.
6:00 What is the name of the Sand/earth?
Now I know what to do with all my empty cans once I smelt them.
Would this happen to be for sale? I like the idea.
Is it for batting or for beating?
I love the mentality of, it don’t gotta be pretty. It’s made for breakin shit!
any chance i can order a MINI verson of this sir????
How bad is the hand shock when you hit something with this beast
If you were to sell them how much would you price them out to be also I would be interested in buying one if you would be willing to make me one
I want to buy a black beard project bat ! This is so cool I used to play baseball and watching u make a bat is awesome
Excellent wood turning skills.
What kind of sociopath has their bandsaw backed up against a wall
Actually very funny.
Probably some one who doesn't have enough room. I have enough room give it to me :)

Exactly what I was looking for. You're a goat
Just out of curiosity why didnt you just cut a wooden baseball bat in half instead of going through the time to lathe one up?
Why do you put paper in the glued joint?
A friend of mine made a solid aluminum pool cue. Not much for light shots but it was a killer breaking stick.
What does the newspaper do?
Excellent job,I just didn't want you to damage the paint work,very nicely made though.well done.
the bat from metal bat be like:oh i am indestructible real metal bat:oh no a stone aahhg **is epically destroyed**
Very nice object of great craftsmanship!
You should make a metal stamp that you heat up to mark all you work
I enjoy the aluminum castings. It's intriguing.
what was the point of the newspaper?
Is it on sale ? If so , which site address should I look into ?
I would have written "slugger" bleeding red
did that thing really weight over 15 kilograms or am I just seeing things?
Nice job 👍👏😁
Awesome !! YOU ARE THE BEST

Looking good!!! Nice Cast!
Why do you glue the woods with a sheet of newspaper?

Your next project should be a blade sharpening jig.
Also, WHERE IS YOUR TABLE SAW INSERT?
Why the news paper in the middle of the two pieces of wood please?
