My son's HS baseball team does a yearly fundraiser for items they need to replace, repair, etc ... and one of the items asked for by the coach was to see if anyone was able to build a bat/helmet storage bin for the dugout. I got volunteered (by the wife) .... so over the past 4 weekends I built this...

Name: Bat-Helmet Storage.PNG Views: 81 Size: 488.6 KB

Now to borrow my FIL's truck and trailer to get it to the field.

Online these sell for $1,800!

I've asked the school for their logo to see if I can duplicate it. If not the art department can do it.

Lot's of cussing went in to it. It's built out of 3/4" exterior plywood so it's heavy!

Looks like it’s ready to have a batting helmet angrily shoved into it! Speaking of baseball, thank god it’s right around the corner.
