This was a fun project I made for my Grandson Mike on his 4th birthday. I know he'll love to hang his glove on this!

I needed to find a way to mount a round bat to this coat rack. I was a little nervous about pushing it thru my tablesaw. Then i looked at my jointer, and thought once the knives created a flat spot on the bat, that should steady it enough to finish the pass. It did. Be sure to use a push stick to protect your fingers. I removed only 1/32" at a time and was very careful at the end of each pass to prevent chip out. The flat spot is about 1 3/8" at the widest part of the bat.

Please note: the guard is held open with a clamp only so I can take the picture. Never do this while the jointer is running!

I made a pair of key hole slots to hang the coat rack from. They're spaced 16" apart to land on wall studs. To see how to make these, click here!

Here is the Plan!

Here is a very rough layout of the coat rack. The bat is a child's 28" and the ball is official size and weight. Since you can't stuff the ball thru the jointer, I've drilled a 2 1/4" hole so the ball can be set into the back piece. The hole is eased with a 1/2" radius bit and the ball is epoxied in place. Nothin to it!

I think he likes it!!!
