Even beveled, they can produce "dents" in the ball.Originally Posted by bowl1820
A suggestion:
The edges indicated here:
if not already should be beveled or rounded over, if not they can produce dents in a ball left there over time.
Better would be a flat "normal" shelf, with a urethane ball ring under each ball.
Yes, but not as fast as that sharp edge will and actually it would be a flat spot.
If you want to get fancy you line the edge with something like felt to cushion the ball.
Not necessarily better, I've seen balls left in those rings and ball cups overtime develop ring shaped dents also.Better would be a flat "normal" shelf, with a urethane ball ring under each ball.
But it would cost more having to buy the rings.

There's nothing really hard about this project, it's just a basic frame.
I actually did sand down the edges a bit…but maybe once I get a new dremel I'll go over the edges again.A suggestion:

I think there's always a danger whether left in boxes or on a rack that the balls could develop dents or cracks or even shrink. I just gotta hope I can move them around enough in the meantime and eventually use them fast enough that I don't experience that.
You could also maybe try some kind of safety foam or something like that. The kind they use to child proof sharp table edges and stuff.

HA!!
He said "nice rack".
Yeah, my only real regret is I really needed a longer drill bit and more powerful wrench for the lag screws. And I still need to sand/round the horizontals. And I feel I could have gotten similar results for a lot less $$$ had I used 2x4s and 2x6s versus 4x4s and 2x2s. And I'm annoyed that the top shelf is uneven so all the balls roll to one side. The bottom and middle are level, but I screwed up on the top.
What a fine piece of craftsmanship to compliment your aesthetic collection.

I had no idea the balls could dent, will they dent in bowling cups as well? That is what I used to store my balls.
