    Built one this weekend. Thanks so much for the video. The 15" piece across the top was a little short so I changed it to 16" and fits perfect. I used plexiglass for the middle. Thanks again. My son and his friends love it!

    Okay….well, it’s all completed. I followed the instructions pretty closely and except for a few varying measurements, it is a near replica of the one in the video (no paint, however). It was straightforward and without your video it would have nearly impossible to build, so thank you for doing the hard work 🥲. I particularly like the double sheet metal approach as it makes a louder noise and weighs it down even more than a single sheet. Excellent design!!🤩

    I used an online tool to maximize the material I had and allowed me to get all the pieces cut up with just 3 five foot long PVC. I also used high quality 1" PVC (from Lowes) and felt that was plenty wide and heavy enough to make this all very sturdy. I would recommend labeling each piece with their measurement and label with a sharpie before cutting. If you put the label at the very end of each piece, it will get covered up when you put it in the joints. STOCK PIPE #1: 21" - Strike Zone Side 16" - Base Front Leg 15" - Down 4" - Back of Base 4" - Back of Base STOCK PIPE #2: 16" - Base Front Leg 15" - Down 11" - Front of Base 7" - Off Back 7" - Off Back 4" - Strike Zone Bottom STOCK PIPE #3: 21" - Strike Zone Side 16" - Strike Zone Top (some comments say 16 is needed, mine needed around 15.5 so I trimmed this one down to fit) 9.5" - base back 5.25" - Strike Zone Bottom 4" - Strike Zone Bottom (you should have 4.25 inches left as scrap on this stock piece)

    Great video - just built and my family and I are having a blast. One thing, I used your cut list before the build and I think you're missing two cuts. You should add another 21", another 16", and your 5 1/4 cut (I used 5). You need right about 15 ft of PVC for all the cuts. Again, thanks for sharing! Below are how I have it written down for future builds. 21" x 2 16" x 2 15" x 3 11" x 1 9.5" x 1 7" x 2 x 1 5 1/4" x 1 4" x 4
