    Great job. I wanted to ask:" Why not incorporate LED's? When the bag witch has a sensor sewed inside with a specific color, when it lands on the board that color lights up." You're probably wondering how I know, I was asked to build a set (Alabama Crimson Tide boards with bags) for a friend...that was my WOW!! Factor. I'm hoping to see a little more creative engineering out of you. Great job none the less.

    I was stunned when I brought out two store bought cornhole boards on the 4th and again Memorial Day. Kids, adults and seniors were playing all afternoon and into the evening. The aluminum sides and particle board is just awful and probably won’t make it through another summer. You How To video and my cousin’s skill with a wood burning kit we can have some nice personalized cornhole boards this year. Any thoughts on filling wood burned letters? (I was gonna get the boards as flat as possible fill the letters with polyurethane of everyone’s name, sand and follow your procedure on poly & sanding)

    I don’t understand why you’re putting your port on an angle when you cut your pocket holes? Doesn’t seem like it would grip very well with less threads.

    How big are the spacers you used for the legs to drill the hole in the side 2x4? I know you said just a piece of scrap 2x4 to make the spacer but I looked like you used the cut end so not sure what length it needs to be to get the 12” tall

  • @greattbuilds

    @greattbuilds

    Жыл бұрын

    The legs need to be 13” in length and the spacer is 1.5”. I used the side of a 2x4 which is 1.5”. With the hole screwed 1.75” from the side and 1” from the rounded side on the leg it works close enough to 12” tall off the ground

    I watched until I seen the top wasn't lined up with the frame... cut the top a slight big larger and use a flush cut bit to even everything up... box joints are nice too if you have the tools to make them
