The temperature of the part and hot end during printing is critical to getting proper fusion between the layers. It can make a surprising difference to material strength.

Interesting, in Ireland we have a sport call Hurling. Once described as a mixture between hockey and murder. The hurls (bats) are made with ash and they are all hand made to follow the grain of the wood. Same science different sport. Although it's probably better that the hurls break when they hit a player....great video Grady

Wooden hockey sticks were made of thin layers of wood, so grains were never parallel. Instead they made the stick stronger and allowed more flex without breaking. So, I must wonder why baseball bats are made of one solid piece of wood, instead of several layers or thinner columns glued together.

Well explained, great vid. My local broadcaster is always going on about how old players went through just a couple of bats a year where as a present day player is lucky to get through the week with the same bat.

Cool video! Most of the time I see a piece of wood break, it's because the grain was crooked. I've come to look out for it when selecting wood for a project.

Another home run video. Good audio quality and continuity. Really a pleasure to listen to.

Thank you, that was interesting. I've watched cricket all my life and baseball for about the last 10 years. It has always struck my how many bats break in baseball, something that almost never happens in cricket and when it does, it's caused by the handle separating from the rest of the bat - the wood doesn't split. It was interesting to see why this happens so often with baseball bats.

Excellent video! Loving the channel.

Awesome video! The wood grain orientation is taken very seriously in bow making for archery. In pro/competition level, often composite materials are used. But in traditional archery, the orientation of wood grain is considered paramount in bow making.

thank me for watching? thank you for creating

Amazing video

I'd like to see you do something on wooden compression posts, such as deck posts or building piers.

Another problem would be elasticity, Ash is a very tough and elastic wood while maple isn't. In Europe most bows were made out of riven Ash because it's the best common wood for that use. A bat well made of Ash should be unbreakable, however it's elasticity means a portion of the energy in swinging it will be lost when striking the ball because of the deformation. Maple on the other hand is a very dense, brittle and inelastic wood. This makes it great for musical instruments for instance because it'll transmit sound waves easily without dampening them, and when striking an object it's inelasticity makes it transmit the full force of the blow. Maybe the ideal bat would be a composite, made out of an ash or hickory core with maple sides.

That is a damn fine bat, nice work :)

I like your videos. Thanks.

Your videos have the best music

interesting look at bats G. great job the best part in my opinion is that you made yer brother a handmade gift..... thats the kinda thing not often seen in todays world.... love yer channel thanks from Arkansas and another Grady.... lol

can you do a comparison video on the strength of various building materials and how they are further reinforced?

Another awesome and interesting video! Thanks for this! Is there any recommendation on how far from the center should be the wood blank? - blanks further from the center will have growth rings in almost parallel planes.

+Practical Engineering please tell me what you think of a wooden bat drilled from edge to edge with a rubber or other flexible material insert.... my theory is when it brakes it will hold both halves and not fly off...kinda like a laminated glass....

Gud day sire, I intend knowing if steel Baseball bats are magnetic and also what the average steel bats weigh in kg. Thanks

How much would it help if they put a steel truss rod along the bat, just like they do on guitar necks? I know that the purpose of the rod on a guitar is different, but it sounds like it would still give the bat a lot more resistance to breaking.

Watching the way he's sculpting that wood bat is soooo satisfying...

solid metal core rod may help, plus you wouldn't get the compression/spring benefit that aluminium bats give.

Would it help if a bat was made with a core and a shell that was each 90 degrees from the other?

Interesting

I've only played baseball once I don't know if I did it wrong or it was a bad bat but the first swing I hit the ball and the bat snapped I just stood there not knowing what to do

Can this logic be put toward other types of rods used for hitting things, such as drumsticks?

this is very interesting. i just turned a kids sized baseball bat for my son to play with. i turned it without even looking at regulations or size requirements. it's heavy, thicker than usual, shorter, beech instead of ash or maple and it looks awesome (with a bit of spalting in the wood). I don't think he's gonna break it, but if i ever turn another one, i'll pay closer attention. My video of the turning process will be up later this month.

Why not coat the handle and neck (weakest points) of the bat in a rubber/plastic/fabric mesh to try and hold onto the broken shards once the break occurs?

What would sctually be the best wood for baseball bats? Maple, ash, oak, chestnut...?

u got awesome skills

Really great video, to be honest.

Will linseed oild that is cured inside the bat, make it stiffer and therby stronger? Would love an answer or a test from you, because you are very knowlegenanle!

I didn't understand any of this, but it sure sounded smart!
