that’s dope brother I’ve always wanted to start my own wood bat company. I’m finally making the money I need to in order to get it started & this video helped me out a lot. cheers brotha good work!
Brad Gresock, Don't you pay any attention to the negative comments....they wish they could be doing what you are doing...they probably flipping burgers somewhere...you inspire some of the youth to do creative thing with their spare time.... by the way... thank you.
Man that was great! I'm a guitar maker so have plenty of maple and ash about - looks like I'm going to make a bat next. One tip brad get a branding iron made up and put your mark on the knob end it'll look really pro.
It's great to see a guy woodturning at such a young age as well as making practical items. However, I'm amazed to see you still alive seeing the dangerous angle at which you are holding the roughing out gouge! By the way, my first lathe I had was the same one (by the look of it). I bought it in the early 1990's and it was already second hand then! But I suspect yours is an American-made lathe and I know mine was a cheap Chinese copy. But it served me well for 10+ years and it's still turning out projects at the home of a pal to whom I eventually gave it. Nice bat collection though. Kudos and a "like" from me (notwithstanding the awful chisel angle!!).
François Wognum we r factory of cnc lathe , any inquiry ,pls feel free contact me skype anna886691 or whatsapp008615966606596 we are sure you are very satisfired
Totally agree with the tool angle, that is dangerous bro. Look up some pros and see how they hold their tools, cuz u goin to get killed holdin a tool like that son
Just a tip for anyone working on a lathe, do NOT wear long sleeves. I have personally seen someone get their sleeve caught in one cause they accidently got to close an it left a pretty bad gash on his arm. Sadly although he was injured he was lucky it wasn't worse.
Have you tried any other wood types, I am making one for my grandson, and he is only 5 years old, so I want it very light, and obviously he isn't going to be breaking bats yet, so I was thinking of light woods like red cedar or something equally attractive but mostly light in weight.
Love this video. I know its a bit old..but wondering if you could recommend an inexpensive lathe to get started on. Or any specs. Going to look on Ebay
I'm guessing it is just for fun because little leagues, high schools, and colleges all require certain specs to use a bat. You can just bring a bat you made because it isn't labeled by a manufacturer to say it is up to spec. He may however just play pickup games with friends.
As long as it is a wooden bat and doesn't go over maximum sizes you can make your own bats. Composite and aluminum bats are the ones with all the restrictions.
How would you flare the hand of your bat? Most wooden bats have flare just after the knob on the handle. Would you also be able to round the end of the knob of the bat? Just asking cause I am doing a similar project to this and I would like to include these features.
Hey Luke, can not be sure but his lathe looks similar to a older Craftsman tube lathe. You can look on Craigslist (may take a few months) but you can find something close. $75-$150. Cutting tools included is a good deal. Just my 2¢.
Hey do you know how to make a baseball? Cuz I want make my own baseball because I just don't want to spend money when I could use it for something else!
I heard he will pusblish it online soon, so you might want to grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great plans and ideas.
Hey bro my name is Brian from Boston Massachusetts I have been looking for somebody that would be able to make me a bat that actually is solid and the handcraft is awesome and very good that could also ship it to me in Boston whether you can take down my information and how heavy or light I want it and if you could make me one providing that I make a video trying the bat out or if you want to charge me for it I will pay you for it is there some way that I could get in touch with you by email I would like to hear from you thank Brian
You are by far the best bat maker I have watched today
Good job, brother!
Amamzing! my dad uses this tool for all sorts of wood work
that’s dope brother I’ve always wanted to start my own wood bat company. I’m finally making the money I need to in order to get it started & this video helped me out a lot. cheers brotha good work!
Hey! Thats awesome!!! I wish you luck! Let me know whats up and how it goes! Id love to look into it
Brad Gresock, Don't you pay any attention to the negative comments....they wish they could be doing what you are doing...they probably flipping burgers somewhere...you inspire some of the youth to do creative thing with their spare time.... by the way... thank you.
Great job! Very good craftsmanship 👏🏻💯

This video was very helpful, thank you!
Really it’s amazing once I grow up I want to be a baseball maker

Oh the irony ^
now our lathe mainly for wood
Totally agree with the tool angle, that is dangerous bro. Look up some pros and see how they hold their tools, cuz u goin to get killed holdin a tool like that son
Great craftsmanship
Good video, I suggest you round the top tip of the barrel because if the ball makes contact there it could be dnagerous
This is so satisfying
Very nice work Brad.
That's awsome. You should make your own company.
Just a tip for anyone working on a lathe, do NOT wear long sleeves. I have personally seen someone get their sleeve caught in one cause they accidently got to close an it left a pretty bad gash on his arm. Sadly although he was injured he was lucky it wasn't worse.
Damn that sucks! Great advice buddy for real.
Well made video! Well explained!
that is really cool . you should make a video on how to paint them. you should sell them you would get a lot of money!!!!!!!
That's really cool, I'm looking for a lathe now
Really cool. Good job!
Awsome man, really!!!
Great Job Brad. lets. see a video on Turn of The Century Bats. I'm.. sure you can do it. Keep up the good work. jeff
Awesome job man
You rock Brad
The center in the lathe head is the DRIVE CENTER not the live center. The live center would be located in the tail stock.
awsome video!
Are you selling them yet?
Looks like a fungo but a short ass one
what a coincidence! Jan. 10 is my birthday! Jan. 10 2013 was my 14th birthday!
Who the fuck cares
Very cool !
Awesome
Have you tried any other wood types, I am making one for my grandson, and he is only 5 years old, so I want it very light, and obviously he isn't going to be breaking bats yet, so I was thinking of light woods like red cedar or something equally attractive but mostly light in weight.
Good job
cool video!!!
Things change quite a bit at 7:20
That's op
Love this video. I know its a bit old..but wondering if you could recommend an inexpensive lathe to get started on. Or any specs. Going to look on Ebay
You don't shape the end to round it off? By doing so would allow you to reduce bat weight thus giving you more bat speed.
you should do videos of all your bats
Senior project?
Way to go!
I'm from PA too :)
Have you made profit selling or just do it for fun? The equipment must be expensive - also do you use your bats during your own games? +Brad Gresock
Also how much did the lathe cost - I'm finding them for just under $500
I'm guessing it is just for fun because little leagues, high schools, and colleges all require certain specs to use a bat. You can just bring a bat you made because it isn't labeled by a manufacturer to say it is up to spec. He may however just play pickup games with friends.

hi brad but my wooden bat broke and it got a huge crack in it can i fix it or do i have to get a new bat
Wooden bats come and go. It's a fact of life. When they break you buy a new one or make a new one, like he does.
i like that you dont curse like all other teenagers
Hello Brad, I want to be able to make my own bats, you can say to me where I can buy the billets?? Regards from mexico
Someone remind me to buy a woodbat when mine breaks
how much is the machine? and how much is the wood when you buy it not as a bat yet?
How much hp does your lathe use to make wood bats?
How long r they and how much do they weigh
Where you at these days?? Still making bats??
How would you flare the hand of your bat? Most wooden bats have flare just after the knob on the handle. Would you also be able to round the end of the knob of the bat? Just asking cause I am doing a similar project to this and I would like to include these features.
Cashe Newans you would use a screwed chisel tool, practice first on some smaller wood pieces, from my experience it is a little difficult
How did he make the cup on the end? He never showed that
The best way of testing a baseball bat is by trying it on someone.
Nice
I want to buy a bat from you.... and did you know if you use a bone and rub it all against it makes it better. I sawsome videos from murruci

My cousin goes to senica valley
Call your brand senica valley sluggers or something about your championship team
I live really close to you
Mike Delucia I'm related to him 😂 but nice thing to say!
How can u get in contact with you
I don't know? How can you get in contact with yourself?
I might give you a dislike because you made a 31 and a half inch bat and it looks like you could swing something bigger
Jammy Toons i
You know a lot of MLB players use 32 inch/32 oz bats? Joey Votto uses a 31 oz bat.
Jammy Toons this is Maurice Mr Bones Harris did I make u a baseball bat walking cane. if I did call me
314/732/7865 Thanks
What size lathe are you using? Great Job !
he has to play on Jv if he uses a 31 inch bat.
There's no NCS which is playoffs in my area for jv
that legit makes no sense , she should be playing for a park if he is using a 31
jacob dodson he doesn't use a 31 inch bat. He makes 31 inch bats. He might practice with it once in a while
