Bat display

That's really well done Mark.

I like how it can double as a table but easy to remove.

I don't have that kind of space - if I did? I'd like something like that.

Thanks for sharing.

Really well done Mark. I like that a lot. How about adding a video showing your whole room? What I can see of the room in this video looks fantastic.

Thanks Mike.
I plan on doing that soonish. I used the pandemic quarantine as an opportunity to clear it up some and enhance some displays.

Awesome!

Have you given any though to finishing the table top in 3 pieces of white leather with red stitching?

Tim,
I did consider several different ways to finish the top, including painting it, putting fabric, or even using glass with memorabilia underneath it. I went with stain and clear coating as i expect I'll be using it more for beverages than display, so wanted to keep it simple.

It has taken a while but today i got the bat that filled the display.

A fellow member got me into collecting bats a couple years ago. I have always been a Wade Boggs collector so I bought some Boggs bats.

The bottom section are store models and SGAs. The only non Boggs bat is an awesome 1965 Eddie Mathews SGA.

The top section are all Boggs Powerized models except the bottom 2 bats. Second from the bottom is a cool pro model Yankees team bat, not sure of the actual term used for it. Bottom bat is a Cubs minor league SGA with several autographs. Hopefully soon I will replace it with another Boggs Powerized bat.

I don't have much space either. The footprint is about the same size as the one from Cooperstown Bat. The table top is 17in diameter. The bat holder and base have the same diameter of around 11in across.

I added the table for the functionality of adding more display space or convenience. Having it this way offers the best of both worlds IMO. On one hand, having the table prevents the bats from being taken out too easily.
On the other, the table being removable is needed as the bats need to be lifted up to be able to remove them from the rack. I considered widening the openings to allow the bats to slide in and out without removing the table top, but the bats felt less secure in the slots I tried it on.
