I'm not sure if what i've done with bats is known under a bat system
name, but...
i bought 50 8 inch square commercial tiles, for about $30.00, then took
a good wooden bat, about the same diameter as my wheel head, and 4
lengths of a wooden strip, about 1/4", by 1 1/4" by 6". Placing a tile
on the bat, i snugged up the wooden strips to the 4 sides, then nailed
them down. Now i have 50 little bats i can easily flip in and out of
the larger bat. Used these for about 2 years now, and are very useful
for things like candlesticks with broad bases, etc.
