Major League Woodworking - The Show #1: Making a Great Baseball Bat

Blog entry by Thomas MacDonald posted 125 days ago 557 reads 1 time favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch
no previous part Part 1 of Major League Woodworking - The Show series Part 2: Episode #2 - Nokona Bat Factory »

From Thomas J. MacDonald, MLW The Show is the light fun side of the woodworking world. Watch for field trips, special guests, Q&A from The 207 Forum, and quick “how to” videos all mixed together.

Follow along as Tommy visits Red Sox pitching legend Bill Lee at his Vermont home to show us the first steps in creating a Major League Baseball bat. From the woods to the drying shed, we think you will be surprised to see how much hand work goes into the first phases of creating the bats for America’s Favorite Pastime.

Go Sox!

This was an interesting video, Tommy.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.
