In my latest attempt to make a 'Mongoose' Style bat, I got the shape and balance etc of the bat right, but the toe has not quite gone to plan!



Any ideas on how to round the toe, and make it a better shape?

Thanks in advance

Im not a batmaker either but i would suggest getting that 'thing' onto a drum sander and gently make the toe more curved.

did you just take a standard bat and cut it down to mongoose shape?

The toe of my 'bat'

blimey you managed to get burn marks on it and everything....

Yep a good power tool sander with a coarse grit to sort out all those edges and to start the curve of the toe

Have you just cut down a standard bat? If so surely you would have cut off the middle no?

Looks quite a mess!
Could try "carefully"  sanding it on a drum sander...

use 400 sand paper to sand off the cuts and then use 1200 paper to smooth it off
