Now I started off the search by finding what would be the perfect shape to hold the actual
bat so I took a scrap piece of wood and I cut it and first i did this rounded V and
then I did a U and I wanted to see cause this one I thought it could hold like any size
bat but it turns out baseball bats are pretty much all the same size at the handle so I
think the U will just be better and uh so when I tested it my results where better with
the U so then I went on paint and made a template and this is what it looks like so here's my
template and each of these are going to be a notch for each bat so now I am going to
use my circular saw to just cut out the outline pattern which is a square now you could do
this on a table saw but I don't have one so you can always use a circular saw and now
I have the main outline of my baseball rack holder and now your gonna wanna cut out these
on your scroll saw or band saw and you can either cut this end out on your scroll saw
or band saw or if you have a table saw just run it through their real quick
so after you cut out this piece your gonna wanna take it and measure on a piece of plywood
how long it is and just set a mark on your plywood and cut it out to the length that
you have and then take it and go down about 7, 7-1/2 inches down and mark it for the width
and then your gonna wanna take this actual bat the bat holder part and your gonna wanna
measure how far it is from this point to this point and mine is 4 inches so then on another
piece of plywood mark make a four by four square and cut it out so it's a four by four
square and it's cut out and then cut that square in half so you get two triangle and
with those triangles they're gonna be your supports so you take the rack for the bat
and you set it up so its a little a little bit over the edge there and except I am doing
it on here and put the triangles flush to the piece so here's the final projects and
we have all the bats hanging on it it holds 6 bats and I have had this for a couple months
now since this build was a little earlier before and I just decided to post it now but
its been holding up really good thanks for watching and don't forget to check out my
