It started as a 4-H project in the summer of 2019, I was going to make a chair out of old baseball bats that I would find at antique stores.  The fair was coming up and I wasn't finding any bats.  It was not what I was expecting, so one day my dad told me, "Why don't you make your own bat."  So we got a lathe and I practiced on some wood dowels making miniature bats.  Then I made a 33 inch wiffle ball bat to show at the fair.  I got  first place and lots of questions about how I was making them.  Well the questions cooled down a little after about a month, but they were about to explode.  In August, I was asked if they  could interview me for the newspaper.  I agreed and knew that people would see it in the newspaper and want a bat.  Within a week of the paper coming out, people were asking if I could make a bat for them.  And it took off from there.
