I carved this bat from an unknown wood species, which I think is mulberry. Its finished with boiled linseed oil.

Thanks for tuning in!
This bat is for when the simply safe alarm goes off
Found someone trying to climb through the kitchen window once, picked up the bat tapping my hand as I walked back in kitchen, as they had not seen me. They soon beat a hasty retreat,
Shd swing for the fence next time
You picked the wrong house fool
CJ? *OOooOooOooooo*
Nawh, the alarm system is so that you can evaluate the threat and choose the appropriate firearm to deal with it. When the "threat" is a raccoon or 'possum getting into your dog's food, you choose a different caliber / loading than if it is a wild boar destroying your yard or a criminal trying to break into your house or vehicle. Use the right tool for the job.
That’s awesome! I need of those for my man cave
Just curious if you weighed it. It looks like it would be heavier than modern wood bats.
Loved this video, very impressive bat, especially by hand. Keep it up!
Very good Job Dude 👌
Awesome video Andy.....
Excellent skills. Great bat. Fix your vise handle, ha!
You need some of those diresta wood pushers🤘
Nice!
Очень круто !
Make a lacrosse stick
I've seen bats on road rage videos.
and your lathe is over in the corner like, "dude. dude"
The lathes broken...I wish I could just toss it out the window.
old school lathe restoration project?! well yes please!
Seriously
Did he use it ? 😑
thats cheating
I can't even draw a circle much less hand carve one. Incredible! You make a very difficult project look easy.
Thanks Justin!!
Its a lot harder to draw a circle.
No one can draw a perfect circle, our hands are too complex for such precise tasks.
@@AndyRawls what wood do you use please?
@@nsogie1 looks like wood
With your mad skills you should make a bow. Red oak works well👍
I think that’s a great idea!
Ipe works even better
Ive read several books that say Yew wood is an excellent wood for bows.
I would love to see that build! My son just watched this video and wants me ot make one for him. Ummm....
Subbed because I want to see this happen and don't want to miss it! (great video, too!)
Great video , you should do a hockey stick ? 👍🏼
Johnb 9k he lives in texas
Yes
I will try my best keep a update video soon my good gent.
@@lilegg311 I'm still pissed that the Minnesota North Stars were kidnapped to Dallas. 😎
Shop hockey

After a long and stressful day, watching Andy making awesome stuff out of wood is what I need 🎃
I used your guidance in this video and made my first bat with a spokeshave and a grinder - it's super awesome! Thanks
I love how much care you put into ever single project
Gotta love how he kept the swing and a miss in there, bet he didn’t know he was such a great pitcher lol
At 2:06 I thought your dog was a statue and I was like “am I trippin or did that statue just move”
watching this and then bo jackson crack a bat over his helmet makes me feel bad
Roberto Ibanez de Garayo yeah well Bo was cool enough so
You could’ve easily not included the times you missed the ball, but it was awesome how intrigued I was into the video and you walk up confidently to hit the ball and you miss! It was by far the funniest thing for me!
What kind of wood did you use for the knob? It seems much more dense and harder to work. Also just out of curiosity why did you make the knob on the handle out of a second piece instead of flaring the end and keeping it all one piece? I’m not trying to critique your work I am genuinely curious. Great craftsmanship!
I would assume it was just for esthetics, but I have the same question
I believe this would be illegal by MLB's original bat rules. Needs to be one piece unless ruled otherwise by the league.
The spokeshave would have chipped off a piece of the knob most likely. This was a much faster way to do it.
Love the ending :)
Bat looks amazing.
For a professional woodworker who runs a full time furniture shop and does a lot of hand work, I'm a little surprised how basic your workbench and work-holding solutions are. Do you consciously reject the snobbish culture around such things? Have you just not gotten around to it? Do you not think about it much? Just curious!
My workbenches are not great and no I do not reject having a well made bench. I just haven’t had time to build one, hopefully next year.
I'd watch that! :)
@@TrotterG me too
I’m in the same situation, I have been using a $20 Harbour freight vice or a simple piece of wood and a couple clamps as a stop for planing...
Liked and commented because of the dinger you hit at the end.
More like a thudder. lol
Bouncy baseball
You should do a give away with it... like if you agree
I completely missed the “NO LATHE” part of the title and when you popped out the plane, I thought “that is such an Andy Rawls thing to do” and I honestly couldn’t have been more happy
This comment deserves more likes. It's so true.
Can you sell a cap with "AR" on it instead of "Andy Rawls" ?
Working on it!
Thanks.
Just made a bat using this video to help a lot, it’s really not that hard once you get in the groove. I only have a hand saw, plane, axe and drill and still made it work. Thank you for the video it helped so much in this project :)
Thanks for showing the first two wiffs. Could have easily edited that out but you didn’t which is why I like channels like yours much more than the This Old House style that make everything look like perfection that comes easy.
Haha I thought the same thing ....such a small thing but makes me respect him more
Couldn’t you have made the octagon much easier by rotating the bat 45 degrees on the jig and using the band saw?
Wow if I played baseball I would definitely have to try and make one of those you are talented love your vids keep it up also I would really appreciate it if you could subscribe to my channel

Why not round the top to a more traditional shape and the extra sticking out of the knob seems like an odd choice. Very beautiful piece but a little confused why it's not more traditional.

Beautiful work Andy! Really like you branding on the top of the bat too.
A base ball bat blank needs to be split out of the log. Resawing from a sawn plank has left you with very weak grain structure in the handle area.
Plus, he could have blind wedged the knob on; although, why he didn't band saw it thicker and draw knife/spokeshave/rasp the knob to shape, I don't know?
Yayay!!! New video on my birthday!!! I enjoy your videos so much
Happy birthday!
Sorry you have a defective dog! Lol, my dog's favorite thing is to 'play' golf or baseball. Always brings back the balls! Awesome work as always!
Awesome video, really appreciated the ending where you didn't just cut to the first successful swing and especially liked that when you made contact the dog showed absolutely zero interest in chasing it down for you, lol. Very cool build
I just want to say, you are one of the most talented carpenters I’ve ever seen. I started on the spoon video I I can’t get enough! Thank you so much for such amazing videos👏
Thanks a million for sharing your work with us, your one of the top carpenters on TH-cam from what I've seen. Thank you from Canada
Can you make a $100 bill out of wood
What you do with left overs and shavings?
He eats them
I've got a ton of mulberry in my garage. That's for sure mulberry. I love that bright yellow it has.
Guess you didn’t want to Sammy Sosa your bat by adding cork? 🤣 Cool build!
Beautiful work and very satisfying video. Wondering if bats are traditionally 2 piece. About google it now. Keep up the great content!
Good to see the warning systems but you still need a good water management system outside with a big catch basin and pump lad ! Oh how I wish we had the big bandsaw. It would be a rare day it wouldn't see use. I love yer style fella. The bat is another Rawls winner !
Can build anything but a handle that won’t fallout.
Hi God bless have a good day
Now make one wit no power tools what so ever
I really dug this video. Something real peaceful and enjoyable about someone working in mostly silence, a few notes here and there w subtitles. Kudos.
Man that was awesome. Thank you for that video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You are a skilled artisan and my hat goes off to you, Sir. I spent four years in the United Sates Marine Corps flying all over creation in helicopters, making parts and pieces out of nothing to keep those birds in the air and today my Dad and I do much of the same keeping our planes flying but I swear I have never made anything as sweet as that bat! That was beautiful Brother.
Would be interesting to round the handle but leave the rest of the bat octagonal and go hit a few with it to see what happens.
Thanks for mentioning the wood in the description. I was thinking that it looked like ash, then I thought it didn't. and it didn't look like pecan either. Gotta love a good mystery wood.
Yeah I really have no clue. I found the log on my wife’s grandparents property. They tried to burn but didn’t succeed, years later I sawed into slabs.
Dope bat!! Shoulda called your shot!
Funny enough, that does look like Mulberry or Black Locust. Get a black light and you could narrow it down. If it is mulberry, it's an IDEAL wood for bats. Similar density to maple, but harder and more flexible. Black Locust would also be an amazing bat wood. Only reason they're not used today is due to approval from MLB and availability.
Now, that bat would be considered illegal for MLB and AAA/AA ball usage, but the octagonal handle and mulberry wood with your craftsmanship would've made that bat LEGENDARY back in the day
That was funny only one ⚾ baseball....the dog just looks
Aaahhh what happened to that ball....whAt W H A T!!!## you want me to chase o after that ball...uuu knots....😜
Great work. Dude i always wanted to make a baseball bat at a young age....thanks i will do now....cheers bud👍💯✔🍔🍟🍕☕🍻🌽😉🙏👆
Can I
Please have the bat
😂 I’m sorry man but the look on your face when you broke that thing you turn
Maybe someone else called this out: if so, sorry, but legal MLB bats must be from a single piece of wood. Typically maple is the choice of today's players. Used to be ash and birch.
Mean lookin' bat, though!
--What kind of wood?
-- Length?
-- Weight?
Didya name it? Still have it? Ever take it to the field or batting cage???
Tried my first one today from pine using this technique! I’m super happy with the result, though it did turn out to be 38” long…!
Amazing project!
As dogs hearing is far more sensitive than humans, I'd suggest you provide some sort of protection for the pup sitting in your videos....especially when running the band saw. Just sayin'....great video!
Please make cricket bat
Ashwood...my dear freind....I do the same thing. But you can make a small baseball like you in a short time .. I make 60 to 90 baseballs every day…
Love for India🇮🇳
My man. You should have way more than 300k subscribers.
6:10 dat crack doe...or am I just seeing things? Either way. Excellent project. I hope to make one for myself one day.
It’s a round club. It’s not difficult dude. Try making a cricket bat that’s any good. That’ll test ‘you’ somewhat.
Now you have some spanking paddles out of those scraps 😂

They don't usually play baseball in an area filled with trees and playground equipment. However, I'd watch that.
Don't you think it would be easier to shape the bat in woodturning it ? I've no experience with wood, but i imagine this could be a good way to keep the bat straight with a good symetry. Am i totally wrong ?
I know this comment is a little late but you should consider making these more there is a tons of baseball purists who like things old school and not a screwing with tradition I think if you made these and sold them you’d be a millionaire and with the price of wood bats these days sitting at $150 for a machine made I think you’d be able to sell these like hot cakes marketed as true hand made bats. Nice work brother stay sharp
Could you make me a baseball bat in Bois d’arc Wood? I would pay for it. I’m a baseball scout for the Kc Royals always wanted one.
What i dont understand is the why.. Unless it for your own psychological of philosophical need to do it by hand theres nothing better about using a slower technique. youre not loosing any quality with a lathe.
Early in the video dog walks in, sits and clearly waiting for fuck around time. End of video dog has decided fuck around time has passed and you can go get your own ball.
You should make a bowl on the lathe and one that’s not done on the lathe
Like watching a young Roy Hobbs making his "Wonder Boy" bat. Did you ash for the bat Andy or a different wood?
Suggestion for you !!! maybe just look into it !!! Perma-Grit tools USA !!!
yep, the dog is definitely defective. don't chase balls. nice job on the bat young Mr. Rawls. a treat, thanks
out of curiosity, why not round the handle guard and the round over on it all on the circular sander? seemed like you could have knocked two birds out while you were already there. great project, love the bat.
This is very misconceiving, you make me think I to am also capable of doing half the job you can do in which I can’t
Amazing old school bat. Not so much of a babe type of hitter, but your a hell of a nolan ryan pitcher. Almost struck yourself out
I subscribed cuz I like what I seen. I'm making a bat outta my Christmas tree. for the front door defense
one day , i want my own woodwork shop on my own property , when i get my own property , when i begin my nursing career , after i leave the service , once i join the service .
This is probably the least dramatic community on here next to Jenna Marbles, all the comments are wholesome. The bad is dope mann
Next video is how to fix your clamp handles lol
Nice work, but probably not a legal bat since they have to be a single piece of wood, and the handle, while really cool, is clearly not a single piece. But I still like it.
1:42 stops selling starts making the bat
3:56-3:58 vanishing dawg 🐕 😲
Love watchin you work man. It's such an art
I thought baseball bats were always made by lathe, even the first ones, of rounded professional level sorts.
Is there any particular benefit to doing the knob separately, rather than shaping it with the rest of the bat?
one of the few youtube videos I don't feel like I wasted my time after watching it. Great videos. Good day mate!
