If you change the workflow, you can use a drill press to properly align the hole. If you don't have a drill press, you can get a drill guide for drilling holes with a regular drill straight. I always recommend drilling for the show side so any tear-out will happen on the hidden side, but if you make sure there's a backer like he's using here, you shouldn't have any tear-out.

@@Gravy_Master thank you for pointing that out, guardian of all sensibilities. What would the internet be without self-appointed protectors?

As a female with no woodworking background what so ever. This was an amazing video! You described everything perfectly and I understood what you were doing from start to finish! I just recently found my interest in making things out of wood and finding videos like this is what helps me out the most! Im not the most knowledgable person when it comes to this yet. But you made this a quick and EASY step by step! So, thank you!

My sister-in-law started making and selling these out of her garage. Now she’s making amazing looking boards and she’s busy as hell. She has upgraded her tools, graphics, paints, and techniques. Great side hustle

I have been struggling with the legs so much, I'm glad I checked this video to see your method for the legs. Shame I didn't find this a week ago when I started the whole process lol.

Made a few sets using your techniques and it made it so easy! And they came out amazing thanks to your ideas! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Nice build! Excellent blend of functionality and economy. I don't make cornhole boards for money, but I do make them for gifts and donate them to local charities for fund raising events and such... this is the first 2x4 build I've seen that looks like it was done by someone who gives a crap. Excellent tip about the frog tape and gel stain! I might suggest only three minor things to improve your build: 1) put a 1/8" or 3/16" radius roundover bit or chamfer bit in your router and run it along the top edge of the top plywood board and around the edge of the hole on top and bottom (or just sand a little relief into these edges). This will reduce splintering of the edges of the plywood top and make them more comfortable on the hands when reaching into the hole to pull bags out. It will also help to reduce the "bag buster" effect of someone throwing a bag that lands directly on a sharp corner at the front of the board. 2) place a cross beam in the frame along the underside, running horizontally - even though you're using 3/4" plywood, it still flexes when a 1 lb bag lands on the middle of the board... this crossbeam will reduce "bounce" so that the boards will play a bit more "true", especially if they get used on a hard surface such as a parking lot or paved driveway. Since you're using 2x4 frames they are plenty strong, so this crossbeam isn't for strength, just to reduce flex of the top - it can be even 1x3 - just so it's flush against the underside of the top board - pocket hole screw and glue it into the frame, pin nail it down from the top too. 3) place a cross board between the legs - it can just be a 1x3 or 1x4 pocket hole screwed horizontally between them - somewhere between the lower edge of the frame and the ground, about 2/3rds of the way towards the ground. This will help with leg stability (though with 2x4 legs that's not a big deal in your build) and it will also help keep bags that are "air mailed" directly into the hole from bouncing/rolling out the back. This is a big convenience for drunken beerbecue score keeping ;) The above would add about 15 minutes total to your entire build, and maybe an extra 2x4 or 1x3 and 16 more pocket hole screws total per set of boards to the material cost, but will add a relatively large amout of quality to the playing experience relative to the cost (an extra $10?) for your customers.

About $50 for lumber, paint/stain/finish varies but shouldn't be more than $20-30, my signature was doing light burns with "map gas" (or a plumbers torch) then clearing over the burn. Vinyl stickers can get pricey if you cant do them yourself, not to mention vinyl machines can be annoying/expensive. If you don't have all the tools for this or you don't plan on doing woodworking much this definitely isn't a project I'd pursue, might as well just buy them. I sold my boards for $160 without vinyl, vinyl prices would vary based on what my decal guy would charge me, usually I'd mark up $5-10 on the sticker because applying larger vinyl can be annoying. If you buy stain's by the gallon as well as your clears it can help cut down on your cost as well. 3/4 plywood is the bulk of the weight, 2x4 sections probably only weight 5-6lbs, all together they can't be more than 40-45lbs.

Couple questions...what do you charge for this type of board and how much for an unfinished set? Do you make bags as well? I have been making sets for about 6 years and always wonder what others charge...we charge $225-250 for full paint and $125 for unfinished and we include bags (we make the bags too). All regulation and our decks are cabinet grade

2X4's are kind of overkill for this. Using a 1X4 or even some plywood ripped at the correct dimensions is going to make this a lot easier, not to mention lighter and when factoring in the cost of materials possibly even a little cheaper to produce. Not to mention that you won't have to waste time searching through stacks of 2X for decent lumber only to have it twist on you if you don't use it right away and it starts to dry.

Materials cost, what, $30-$35? Maybe a 2 hour build with extra time for finishing. I wonder if the effort is worth it myself.
