First serious attempt at bat making
« on: July 08, 2016, 06:52:56 AM »
Hello all,

THought i would post about my first real crack at making a bat.
After looking on the forum for a number of years, got myself some part mades and I'm having a go.
Struggling to upload photos here so only have 1 available at this time and it was very early on in the making process
A few details

Part made starting weight was 1512 grams and aim was to get it to 1150 grams (2lb 8.5oz)

enjoy the pics, hopefully be able to upload more shortly

Great start, really nice looking shape. I look forward to seeing some more photos. Doesn't the bench move around a bit?

Bench can move a little but only when finishing with the sander, havent had many issues with it.
