Well, before the finished product, there is the beginning. This is what the piece of stone looks like I'm going to make your bat out of. Its almost 6" in length, so I should be able to get at least yours out of it. :thumbsup:

I saw the email address above. Do I need to email you my contact info and make arrangements for payment?

Check out my profile contact information. So you know, I'm on the third attempt, no extra on you. I freaking found my other bit this morning under my keyboard, and I know I looked under there several times the past two days...weird. But, two I drilled today broke, too short. Drilling stone can be tricky sometimes. Anyway, I'll have something finished tomorrow (I hope :smokin. I have the third attempt 1/2 in from completing the through hole, and I'll be picking up a new bit in the morning. Just little shit that drives me crazy!!! Its the challenge with the stone that I like!!

That's a bummer man... Leave it too me to choose a piece that's turned out to be a royal pain in the ass. I left you some contact information on your website, so if you don't get it let me know. Thanks again Gypski.:thumbsup:

Ok, will do. It isn't a total loss, they are 2 1/2" long so they will make something, just not a full size bat!!! Its not as bad as the bunch of steatite I cut up (8hours) in pipe blanks and because of a hidden fault in the stone, it all broke too short.

Just some new things for those who may be interested. The bat was custom made for Deige, and is definitely a one of a kind piece. Show and tell P4B!

Well we will be waiting to see the finished pieces. And for me, its like magic in a way, it takes one out of all the bullshit while doing it. So, turn it into a mini-business like me........and hopefully it catches on!!! Those nickles and dimes soon turn to dollars. :thumbsup:

School is even better. I got all that stuff out of the way (for all the good its done me), and now all I want to do is kick back the let the flowers grow and make what ever tickles my fancy!!! Good luck in your school, it does help income in the long run with three at home with only dad. :thumbsup:
