How to waste a Sunday afternoon
« on: March 24, 2013, 04:55:32 PM »

You may recall a couple of weeks ago I posted asking if i could make my own training bat and make up the additional weight with some lead. Today I decided to give it a go. I now own the most stupid training bat ever, but it went as well as I had expected.

Started with an old woodworm that has seen better days


Stripped down


Marked up and took the plane to it!


Took it down to this size


The lead on the back to make up weight (and a nice burn mark)


Taped up to and good to go

Got it up to about 2lb8 now. Without the lead it was 1lb13 which was too light to have any benefit if I used it in the nets.
