This tool video is on the Hartley and Noble Russian doll bat system. You might have noticed that I've been throwing with this pretty much since I got the scut wheel. I wait until I got a scut so that I had to I didn't want to get one drilled with the pinholes for my old wheel when I knew I was getting a new wheel. So what it is, it's a tile bat system but rather than just having the normal way where you get a tile that goes into the slot, these also have two nested insets so I can throw on three different sizes of bat, three more sizes of tile and you would be amazed I think if you hadn't used one of these, just how much different it makes if you're throwing on the big bats you can throw decent sized bowls and things like that. If you're throwing the sort of shock-class things that I make or even small tumblers you can throw them on these little hundred mil tiles and you can I mean it's just crazy how many of these you can fit in the studio. I run out of the tiles way before I run out of space whereas I have been throwing and still do for the dark play on these bats which are great and they're cheap and they work just fine but I can throw a handful of pieces before I run out of space and that's where these are super useful. So yeah this is hardly a noble Russian no-bub system. There is a huge amount to say about it other than what I have the experiences that because I leave my pieces on the bats to dry. You get really nice surface if you just leave it for a piece to pop off completely for example here that's not actually one that I put there with. Hey that is the quality of surface you get because they're such a smooth piece of wood. So I threw what's going to become a coaster and I just leave them till they pop off the bats and that surface is just literally unfinished from the bat. But if you're leaving the pieces on the bats and then want to trim them while they're still on the bats as I demonstrated in a previous video the one thing you might find is that they do swap slightly and bind but you can if you lightly sand the kind of center parts of them and make sure that you wipe the edges down with a sponge before trying to insert it they generally will still go in even if the piece has been sat on them for a day or so. So just one thing that's probably the only using these tip that I have other than that they just literally you know it fits on it works. The nice thing with hardly a noble is that they're a small British company and because they're small they will be able to personalize any part of it these are all CNC milled so you can specify exactly what size holds you on and how far apart you want them so if you've got a weird wheel size they can accommodate that I've got these done slightly non-standard because I measured the backpins for the scut at I think it's 9.6 mil rather than 10 mil so I got them to make the holes just a fraction smaller so it's a tighter fit and it would be if they were drilled to 10 but the nice thing is you can take any any size anything to them and they can personalize it they're going to be making hopefully the V60 guide that I posted again in a previous video hopefully we're in the process of developing that at the moment but hopefully they'll have some of those to set up it all both ahead and the only other thing to say is that they're currently doing an offer where if it's kind of a refer a friend sort of thing where you'll get a free gift if you mention my name at checkout so if you just put up for creations in the notes at checkout when ordering from them they'll send you something extra for free and they do some really cool little things like the throwing ruler so it's essentially a straight rib with a ruler on it so you can see how tall something is as you're throwing stuff like that I'm not actually sure what they're giving away is the gift my I mean you'd have to check with them I'm sure I was going to speculate I don't know but the point is they're doing a free gift if you mention whoever sent you to them so if you're going to go and buy something based on any of my recommendations just give my name and you get free gift yeah link in the comments and there'll be another video coming up shortly
