I have been searching on ebay if anyone seeing tools that they think are worth buying for making my first bat please post them here for me. Your help will be much appreciate it. I has seen a bunch but do not know what price I should pay for them and if that is the exact thing which I will need.

Thanks

Hard to tell you a 'price to pay'. It depends on how desperate you are for them.

Expect to pay around £30-40 for a decent used drawknife.  Same for a smoothing plane.  Spokeshaves around £10-15.  IMO older tools work better than newer tools. Must be the steel...

That's international shipping mate.  Sure it'd be less for the US

Ok done I bought this thanks for the help. I think I may need a bigger one too since this is only 6 inches.Now time to get a round bottom plane and two different types of spokeshaves according to Ryan tool list. Oh also someone to get me a cleft pressed with handle in it or just a pressed cleft I can take a handle off a old bat.

Thank you all.
