Help Needed

[Keith Burns]

I have been instructed to turn a baseball bat. I have the blank but don't know the dimensions. Does anyone know where to get them ? Thanks

[Joe Collazo]

You can find set of instructions here: http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_content/baseball-bat.html

Wikipedia has a bit more detailed info on their site. Just look up "baseball bat".

Hope this helps.

Keith,

When I made bats for my sons this summer I ended up going to a sports store with a tape measure and a gauge.

You gonna do a trademark and everything? Fun project. I've made one bat and I really enjoyed it.

[Keith Burns]

Thanks for the help guys. No trademark John. In fact I'm not really sure why I'm doing this. At our last club meeting this blank just appeared in my corner and a fellow board member told me I was to make a bat. Maybe they are going to beat me with it, I don't know !?!

Keith....it's a test to see if you can do spindle work. If you pass, you become the new Grand Poobah of the Club!:eek: :rolleyes: :D
