My Next Move

So here I will outline the next few steps in my project. I have some lathe experience under my belt and am starting to see my project coming together on the horizon. My next step will be to make another pen on the small lathe in order to really familiarize myself with how to handle the tools and manipulate the wood. After that is complete Mr. Cowell and I will glue together some scrap wood to make a block that I can turn on the lathe and make a miniature baseball bat. This will be useful because I will have some more freedom to shape the bat into what I want. As far as research goes, I will finalize what type of wood I will order for my bat, (I'm leaning toward ash) and I will study up on making bats by watching videos and reading sources that I documented in my bibliography. I'm looking forward to getting back on the lathe to make some new things!
