Tools Needed

After conducting some research I have determined that the tools I will need to make my bat, besides the lathe, will be a roughing gouge, a parting tool, a spindle gouge, and calipers. The roughing gouge will be used to shave a lot of the wood off of the blank, bringing it close to the specified diameter and that diameter will be measured using calipers. The parting tool will be used to make spaces in the wood to mark dimensions. The spindle gouge will be used to fine tune the dimensions to get them where I want them to be.
