If you're cheap like me, use crystal clear enamel spray and buff that boy smooth as eggs. Slides very nice for under 10 bucks.

I’ll have to try that! Boards get worn out over the years firbsure
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)

The pocket holes every 6 to 8 inches, what size screw/bolt are you putting in?

Got the Poclef hole screws I believe I used 1/1/4 inch so that it would not go through the top
Did you have to buy double the amount of materials to build both???
I see one box had a center 2x4 going across and the other box did not ?
What was your overall cost to make them if you don’t mind me asking? And thanks for the video

What are the measurements for the sheets of plywood?

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.
@greattbuilds
2 ай бұрын
What port are you referring to
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
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
How long were the pocket hole screws that you used?

1 inch ply and 2x4, these are definitely 2" pocket screws.
Why wouldn’t you stain it first? That way the parts not covered in poly still have protection?
@greattbuilds

Yes, that is a good idea to stain our paint the base to keep the wood protected.

Eaither the plywood or the length of 2x4 is wrong on your part bud. I had to go back and cut the 2x4 for the plywood to stay flush😂😢

@rafaeldickens you don’t need a jig to drill pocket holes, just makes it easier. All you have to do is drill down straight about 1/4 inch, then leaving the tip of the drill bit in the wood, angle it down. There are videos on KZread that can show you what I’m describing
