A little off the subject GB, but it might be an idea for you. You mentioned the baseball team. I used to know a guy who made a deal with the local team/stadium and got all the broken bats for free. He would rip the bats in half on his tablesaw, install cup pegs on them and sell them as coat racks. He also sold wooden racks to hold a baseball and a bat through the stadium. The only tools in his shop were a tablesaw, a drill press, and a stationary belt sander but he stayed pretty busy in retirement. Maybe you could work something out there.
