General contractor Tom Silva takes us on a house call. He meets a father to help him finish a case for his son’s championship baseball bat. The case needs a glass-front door and a way to mount the bat, and Tom has a few ideas.
How To Build Your Own Baseball Bat Display Case
- 构建自己的棒球棒展示柜的第一步是找到或构造蝙蝠和任何纪念物品的基本盒子。由于棒球蝙蝠，球，销钉，奖牌和奖杯的形状和尺寸各不相同，因此这个盒子将在很大程度上是习俗的。
- Measure the box’s length and width. Since the joints will be mitered and the case’s door will sit flush, simply measure from side to side and top to bottom.
- Install a chamfer bit in the router or router table and carefully chamfer the edges of the white oak board on both sides. Only chamfer the top edge of the board as the bottom of the board (the part that will sit against the box) should be square.
- 将桌子上的刀片抬高到桌子高度的大约1/4英寸。调整锯栅栏，使其距离刀片内部½英寸。将木板固定在边缘，将白橡木板越过刀片，为玻璃窗格创建了dado。
- Adjust the saw’s fence to the desired frame width and cut the boards to width on the table saw.
- Place dabs of CA glue on one board, and spray the other board with an activator, ensuring that the chamfered edges are in the same direction. Stack the boards on top of each other so they are square and flush.
- Set the miter saw’s angle to 45 degrees. Transfer the measurements taken from the box to the boards. Mark the outside edges (the non-rabbeted sides) with these measurements, and cut the boards to length at these locations. The marks represent the longest side of the miter so take care to get the angle correct.
- Separate the boards and place them on a flat work surface. Assemble the mitered corners, pre-drill, and screw through the frame in all four corners. Lay the door on the box and check for fitment.
- 用随机的轨道砂光机和120粒度的砂纸轻轻打磨框架，以形成光滑的表面。染色框架以匹配盒子，并使用尽可能多的大衣实现所需的饰面，并使其干燥。
- Remove the screws on one end of the frame and remove the piece of the frame. Slide the glass pane into the dado before replacing the board and screws.
- Lay the door on top of the box so it is flush on all four corners. Make corresponding marks on both the door and box with a pencil and painter’s tape. With the biscuit jointer’s height set to ½-inch, cut biscuit slots into the case and back of the door frame using those locations for reference.
- Slide the Quick Biscuits into the slots (this may require tapping with a hammer and punch). Align the biscuits in the door with the biscuits in the box and push down to snap them into place.
- 将销钉切成长度（约1英寸），然后小心地通过其中心钻孔。在展示箱的背面钻两个相应的孔，以便它们将其降落在蝙蝠的枪管上。将螺钉穿过箱子的背面，将销钉滑到螺纹上，并记下螺钉的点在正确对齐时触摸蝙蝠的位置。小心地将蝙蝠预先钻出，然后将蝙蝠拧到外壳上。

Tom works with a homeowner to finish building a custom case to display his son’s commemorative championship bat and pins. Tom measures the case to help him determine how thick to make the rails and stiles. He uses a table saw to cut the stiles to match the length of the case and cuts the two rails to fit in between the stiles.
他使用多米诺骨牌木匠和木胶连接了阶梯和轨道，然后将框架夹住，使胶水干燥。他使用轨道砂光机使框架平滑。
为了设置玻璃，他使用路由器和兔子位在内部框架周围进行了几次通过，然后将玻璃放在路由空间中。在固定玻璃之前，汤姆（Tom Drill）钻孔孔的铰链。他使用玻璃夹和螺钉将玻璃固定在框架中。为了将拍打和销钉安装在外壳内，他使用螺钉给它们浮动外观。
