I played baseball for about 10 years, I could catch and throw and run like a damn , but not a very good hitter. On another challenge I decided to turn a bat that perhaps would describe my career. Made out of a 4" x 6" white oak piece I had lying around. Pic 1 shows the mounting and the layout lines, as well as the blocks to support this adventure. Pic 2 shows the barrel turned. Pic 3 shows it remounted with the blocks now glued and screwed to the barrel end.Pic 4 shows the handle end turned and ready to take off the lathe and cut and finish up the ends. I sanded with the lathe running as well as stopped along the grain to smooth out bend. A couple coats of DO and there it is hanging up. I like Mark Sfirri's stuff and so it fun to try and figure out how to do it.
Yes those are C clamps used as counterweights, worked like a damn. I also drilled shallow recess to accept the spur drive and live center. The Titan chucked through it like butter. thanksP1020268.JPGP1020269.JPGP1020270.JPGP1020271.JPGP1020277.JPG
