    Very similiar to my method....I have started drilling 3/32 holes in the head piece to keep score with a golf tee...42 holes but sure makes keepin score easy....Also put cross pieces at 20" from each end to hold bags....My boards held together with suitcase latches.....Rope handles.....

    Again... thanks for sharing your craft with us. I’m firm believer in give more than value and worth and you will see great returns in the end. Can you tell me when you made your frame jig did you build a frame first that you liked then laid on the board and build jig from that or did you measure every on the board first and placed your blocks and brackets? Thx!

    This guy ^ understands! Yes, I made a frame that was square and with the center brace perfectly aligned on left and right. then build the jig to snug that. Now, I use it to place all and attach all my frame boards so they're consistent and I don't have to measure.

    Scott, I probably missed it but I know you used the router to round the “edges on top and bottom. Did you use your sander to round the corners of your frame. I am talking about the 2-1/2” length on the 4 corners. Great video series. Learned a ton. Thank you

    Thanks Kevin! I use the 1/4@ roundover in the frame edges and corners. Corners before attaching the deck and edges after attaching the deck. Hope that makes sense. 1/4” roundover bit is not fully extended. About 2/3” of the blade is extended past the baseplate. Just a personal preference.

    Kevin R hey Kevin, set the collar on your bit so the tip portion of the Kreg bit is close but doesn’t pierce the edge of the board you’re drilling into. Wood glue is excessive and unnecessary in my opinion. I use 18 screws per frame holding it to the deck. That’s plenty.

    First of all, watched all your videos and the boards you make are the best I've seen on KZread. One question I has was if you cut the cross pieces at 22 inches and put them in between the long pieces, should the long side of the frame be flush with the top of the board. That would be 24 inches across no? Or did I miss something?

    I just heard that from someone today... had to cut the music on this old video (copyrights) and it pulled the voiceover off for a couple minutes. The bottom rail is recessed for a few reasons. better stability when the board rests on the sides "feet" instead of a flat cross board is the main reason.

    Phil Borland that’s right Phil. About 3/4” - 1” for the bottom cross board. Take that into consideration when you’re drilling the pocket holes into the frame side pieces so they aren’t drilled where the bottom board will be attached.

  • @cornholecollective7116

    @cornholecollective7116

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hey Jeff that’s right, it helps to have the frames extend at the end so it acts as “feet” on uneven surfaces. If you have a flush bottom of your frame it always rocks back and forth on asphalt or cement that isn’t perfectly even. Also, sometimes I add eye bolts to the bottom frame cross board and attach a 27’ cord when playing to keep the distance. Recessing the bottom frame board ensures the eye bolt doesn’t hit the ground when the boards are standing on end. (Very long winded response)

    No, the tip of the 3/8” Kreg Drill bit shouldn’t pierce the edge of the frame board. If it does, your 1 1/4” screws will probably go all the way through the 3/4” deck.

    All depends on what you r using for tops/Decks. 1/2 will bounce unless you have at the very least 1 cross beam (I use 2) if you move up to 5/8 or 3/4 only 1 is sufficient. See images at instagram.com/boardsbybob/

    I keep the brace because I attach the boards with "friction blocks" see phase 5 video. I'm sure they'd be good without. The 3/4" tops are key to avoiding bounce. 1/2" tops even with a brace are like making a tennis racket super tight there will be a spot under the hole and bottom center that are very bouncy. Not advised.

    good eye, I recess the bottom board a bit 1" or so from the bottom of the playing surface. This allows the sides of the frame to act as "feet" on uneven surfaces like asphalt instead of the entire bottom frame board. Also, if you want to install eye bolts and a 27' cord to keep the playing distance, they are now recessed so when the boards are attached and standing on end in the garage, the bolts aren't in the way.

    Good catch. 2 reasons. 1: it turns the sides into “feet” so they’re a lot more stable on uneven surfaces than a straight board across the bottom edge would be. 2: you can add optional eye bolts to the bottom cross board and connect them with a 27’ cord. Helps place them without any measuring or arguing about distance. By recessing it a full inch, you can still stand the boards up on end and they sit on the deck instead of the eye bolts.

    Cornhole Collective you should use pocket hole screws, not drywall screws. The pocket hole screws have a shoulder to match the hole the pocket hole bit leaves. And technically on the end pieces you should be screwing from the outside in. Screwing inside to out on an outside corner - I.e. the screw pointing towards the corner - is a pretty weak joint. Of course that leaves the pocket holes exposed on the outside of the frame
