@@shvaew Not exactly true. The plans call for 1" X 3" in the cut list. It's only further down that it shows them as 1" X 3.5". It's a minor error but still an error that should be fixed.
Hi Brandon. I just finished making a pair of these cornhole boards using your video as a guide. They came out great! My daughter is throwing a baby shower for our daughter in-law this Sunday. She is going to use the cornhole board as one of the games to play snd win prizes. My wife ordered bean bags from Amazon and wrapped them with tiny baby diapers for effect. Thanks for everything sir!
Great video! I did everything here. But I also added a small sliding drawer underneath for the bean bags and latches all around the base so I can latch the two together when not in use!
Thanks for video. Good workmanship. When I seen the price of a good set of these, I immediately said "hey wait a minute I can make these for under half the price" also paint them exactly how I want. Your video is all I needed for proper dimensions.
Thanks for the great video. Just built a pair of these myself. I was wondering the exact tool + bit you used to round over the edges and hole. Didn't see it listed in the tools and items list. Thanks again!
Hi Brandon I'm Nettie from Nebraska enjoyed watching you put build this I do some woodworking myself I love it love working with stain and sealer I would build mine exactly how you are doing your great video really nice
I am a retired professional furniture maker and I enjoyed your video however were I apply a finish I would apply wood treatment before staining and rather than liquid staining I prefer gel stain as I can control staining certain areas to achieve highlighting certain areas I want to enhance. Lastly I wouldn't have used a water based polyurethane as it doesn't wear well over time. I prefer exterior Waterlox as it is easy to work with and as you know is a polymerization tung oil and extremely durable. I like applying it with a USA made foam brush . Because it is a long oil I have to let it rest for 24 hours before recoating lightly sanding between coats. Three coats are sufficient. Waterlox has been used extensively on gymnasium floors for years as well as bowling lanes. Granted a quart is expensive but should the wood get scratches it can be touched up without sanding because it is self leveling. Waterlox comes in a variety of colors by the way.
Walkers Woodworks what was the stain you used, I see the link for the poly but what stain was it? Thank you I made a set this weekend after watching your video. I'm not a mechanical person and you made the video so good I was able to watch and do it well enough... thank you
Awesome job on this board. This will help me out big time building a board for my son. Just wanted to know what mini round over bit did you use for this project. Ok thanks again for the great video, well done.
I always apply a strip of felt on the back board where the legs rest while the table is standing. Just a piece as thick as the legs to prevent them from wearing the stain off. Just a nice extra touch.
Hey Brandon, what did you do to give your pocket hole jig those clean white markings? I’m 61 and have trouble reading the markings on my Kreg pocket hole jig. Thanks, Dusty. Southern California.
Very well done, I guess I might need to go back to the shop for more tools , my sweetheart might not like it as much as I do? Thank you for the building.
I looked at several different tutorials on how to make these and I like this one the best, it's a plus that I have most of the tools already as well. Good job!
When attaching the base to the top I prefer to drive my first pocket hole then square it up using the corner to corner measuring method and then flush trim the plywood. But thanks for the video man! Subscribing.
I like the shop layout. I haven’t made any with with 1 inch think wood. How does it hold up long turn. On my page use 2 by 4 but I need to try your method.
@Walkers Woodworks, what grade of sand paper would you recommend for after applying the poly. Also, do you apply poly to everything underneath the board also? I decided not to stain underneath except for the legs and frame.
Mine aren't ever perfect. However usually this is played in dirt and can be leveled out by working the slightly taller side in. If it's to bad then just trim a bit off.
This video was great. Thanks for the easy to understand video. One thing I did change on mine was use 2x4 for the legs as I feel like they will hold up a bit better than 1x4.
I've built 3 kits (6 boards) in the last couple of weeks and they are turning out great. Couple of questions though. First, I am having a tough time getting the perfect 12" height AND getting the feet to be flat. I found that cutting the legs 11.5" and using a miter angle of 19 degrees is better. Isn't a 13" leg always going to be too high? Secondly, in your responses and video, you mention using 1/2 inch plywood and 1x4" pine boards for the frame and legs. But your spec sheet says 3/4 inch plywood and 1x3 inch pine. Which is right?
@@WalkersWoodworks OK thanks. I think I'll stick with 1/2" ply because I am fastening the boards together and attaching a carrying handle. I think it will be too heavy with 3/4. As for the legs, I'm gonna try making them a couple of inches too long, then propping the whole board up 12" and mitering a second line at the correct height. I still love your video though. Must have consulted it 100 times in my garage! LOL
I'd have to go back and look but the one I use now and love is the cordless makita palm router. It's awesome. The bit is linked in the description 👍 also if you're looking for detailed plans they are also in the description haha. Appreciate the support.
What router bit did you use? I know its a mini round over but what size. I'm new to wood working. I know I can hand sand but wanted to save some time. Thank you for the guide. it was awesome.
I'm going to make a set for our trailer. I'm going to use 1x4 lumber, and Luann, to make it light weight. I'm also going to make it fold in half for easy storage. The set I made for the house is made completely of 3/4" plywood.
PLANS FOR THESE ARE NOW AVAILABE! - gum.co/QeYDo
Also check out my website for other plans, blog posts and more! - www.walkersww.com/
Why does the plans call for 1x3 boards but the video said he used 1x4?
The amazon links you used for all the tools and consumables on your plans .pdf do not work. None go to the items, only a random amazon page with multiple items not related shows up. Disappointing!
@@davidcary3315 The plans I downloaded say 1x3 1/2 which are a the actual size of a 1x4

Sweetest looking CH game ever. Clear instructions👍🏻
Finishing my second set for a family friend who saw the first set. Thanks again for your video. I went back to view it when building the second set.
Awesome! Glad it helps!

love the calm commentary! Cheers from Czech Republic :)
Look forward to the project myself :)
Good luck and energy in your endeavors!

These look really clean, great job. Going to use your video and make a set this weekend. Thanks!
Just finished two sets using your videos! Thx a lot! Great instructions and simple to follow
Awesome work! The stain gave it a great color and really brought it all together
I just finished mine! They look great. You weren't joking about holding on tight while using that 6" hole cutter. Thanks for the amazing guide.
Haha it will get ya!
Start it in reverse, then forward.
Seeing this video makes me miss wood shop even more.
The best,KISS (keep it short and simple) Instructions yet! Thank you
I appreciate that!
Great job, man!
Personal notes 4:40 6:46
I purchased the plan. Do those materials cover a pair or just a single board
Followed your steps, and built them perfectly. Thanks for posting this!
Good job brother, I like how you share all the details and would like to thank you 🙏
The kids and I are going to attempt this as a Christmas gift for mom. Thanks for the video.
That's a great idea!
What size pocket screws did you use to attach frame to plywood?
Nice work. You make it very easy to follow.
Thank you!
About to go buy some materials to make a cornhole set right now!!!! Thanks for the step by step process!
Good luck!
Walkers Woodworks onlmomoo
Great job! I’m going to follow your plans and make my own. I will send you pictures of the finished product thank you.
a friend asked me to make him some cornhole boards for his weeding and in under 3 days two different people post awesome videos about them!!
Haha you should be all set then!
Great. Now I need to go purchase every tool in Home Depot
Just put the finish on my first set that someone ordered from me. Your video was amazingly helpful. Thanks again!!!!
Glad it helped! 👍
How much did you charge?
Thank you for this video i am defently gonna use your plan. It is very simple. What kind of plywood is this ?
Hi Brandon I'm Nettie from Nebraska enjoyed watching you put build this I do some woodworking myself I love it love working with stain and sealer I would build mine exactly how you are doing your great video really nice
Thanks so much!
I'm a big corn hole fan, nice diy
Awesome work 👍👍 will definitely do the same thing
Awesome!
I liked your DIY project , very simple, so I will try it . thanks Jake
Awesome! Thanks. I do have detailed plans available in the description 👍
I enjoy watching your videos. You put a lot of time and effort making it easy for us to follow. Much appreciated.
Thank you! That means alot.
When you use carriage bolts how would you make the square hole for the bolt to seat into?
I just tighten them down and it digs itself in.

I'm pretty sure it was minwax honey.

Nice video , I have make these also but I put a brace between the legs ?????
Thanks for the tutorial! I will try to make some for this weekend BBQ time with the nice weather
Awesome! Good luck!
Awesome job on this board. This will help me out big time building a board for my son. Just wanted to know what mini round over bit did you use for this project. Ok thanks again for the great video, well done.
This is a great simple set that I will use thanks! Was that just regular plywood on top? It looked a little nicer than that.
Simple! Looks great!
Really nice tutorial and shop!
Thanks so much! Building a bigger one very soon. Stay tuned!
I always apply a strip of felt on the back board where the legs rest while the table is standing. Just a piece as thick as the legs to prevent them from wearing the stain off. Just a nice extra touch.
Ya that's a good idea!
My dad had made some corn hole boards before and i wanted to make my own and they look really good
Beautiful work🎉
You lightly sanded between each poly coat. What grit did you use ? And was it by hand or electric ?
Very nice, very simple 👍🏾 I’ll a couple next week
Awesome! I have plans available for them now if you're interested. Link in the description 👍
You make it look so easy
Haha you can do it too!
Really useful information in simple terms
Thanks!!
Did you mark center on the circle as 9” from end? Or is it 9” from the edge?
9" to the center from the edge of the board.
Great easy to follow video! Thanks for sharing!

I want to paint a border and keep the wood grain in the middle after I sand with 220 can I paint my boarder then apply some spar urethane?
I'd just use exterior paint. That should be enough for the border then use spar on the rest.
I like the shop layout. I haven’t made any with with 1 inch think wood. How does it hold up long turn. On my page use 2 by 4 but I need to try your method.
Seems to work well as long as you keep it inside when not in use
@@WalkersWoodworks Thank you

Nice work you ! very informative and professional video thank you.
how do you get the legs to line up perfectly? my feet are slightly off when setup.
Mine aren't ever perfect. However usually this is played in dirt and can be leveled out by working the slightly taller side in. If it's to bad then just trim a bit off.

Thanks! Awesome!

Hello Im going to redo a set of boards. What grit sandpaper do you recommend using between coats ??
Need about three sets of these for the 4th of July!!!! Nice video
Better get to it! Haha

I would use 1x4 and 3/4" ply. As far as getting the legs just right I've never been able to get the perfect either so don't feel bad lol.
@@WalkersWoodworks OK thanks. I think I'll stick with 1/2" ply because I am fastening the boards together and attaching a carrying handle. I think it will be too heavy with 3/4.

Isn't the front base regulation, 3 1/2 inches high?
4”
What is the name of that blue tool he is use to drill on the side holes
Pocket hole jig. It's linked in the description.
Excellent woodwork. Came out nice. Im Deciding if i wanna built my own or be lazy and buy my own. Lol. Thanks for sharing
Did you mention what you use for the top? is it 1/2 inch 3/4 inch ply cause i got a 4'x4' scrap sheet of 1/2 birch lyin around.
I used 1/2" on these but I usually use 3/4".
Hi. Any particular reason you decided to use 1/2 instead of 3/4?
@@WalkersWoodworks Thanks for responding! Working on my project today
Do you have any problems with the wing nuts coming loose or tightening
Ya you gotta mess with them once in awhile. You could use nylock nuts to prevent that
Bom dia. Aqui do Brasil vendo seu trabalho! Maravilhoso. Parabéns.
Awesome looking boards and video. Great video production quality! Thanks. Can't wait to start working on mine!
Thanks so much! Trying to get better with each upload lol.
What length size did you use for the screws?
They look great. I just built some boards and I am going to use some finish if I brush it on and use 180 to sand in between you think that would work?
Awesome! I'd use like 220 or higher between coats.
Thanks, looking to make some extra money on the side. Could you say how much you would charge for two boards?
It really depends where you live. Around here I get $250 a set.
Good job what the cast of making that?
What make and model of router did you use along with min roundover bit. Thx!
I'd have to go back and look but the one I use now and love is the cordless makita palm router. It's awesome. The bit is linked in the description 👍 also if you're looking for detailed plans they are also in the description haha. Appreciate the support.

Thanks!
So when you say round over bit did you use 1/4 round bit?
Thank you. This is great. Will be making a few sets tomorrow for family and myself. Do you have any plans for holding the boards together?
I don't. I just found some on Google though. There are several free ones.
What the plywood 1/2 inch? Can you use 3/8 plywood?
Yes
Can you add a notch in the legs so that they stay place better/stronger?
Haven't had any issues like that. 🤷♂️
What kind of plywood do you use? Ive tried precut sanded plywood but sometimes struggle with the grains swelling when painting.
Thats what I used. Havent had any issues. 🤷♂️
Where do you get precut plywood?
Are you using 1/2" ply or 3/4"?
Those look clean! What length pocket screw did you use to attached the plywood? Same length as for joining the frame together?
I think 1"
I use 1" to attach the top and 1-1/4" to attach the frame.
@@dls6625 and everything came out good
No screws peeking out anywhere?
Great video! Thank you
Thanks!!
those look great!!
Nice boards. I'm making some right now. Mine are a little different.
Nice!
