I've watched at least a half-dozen videos on cornhole boards, and this is by far the best I've seen. Job well done! I'll be following this tutorial when I build mine!
Thanks so much!
wow" I think your boards are better than the pro boards , you are an amazeing carpenter sir" I really love the detail you choose to put into your boards tottaly awesome .
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Love the video. Lots of tricks of the trade you’re sharing.
Thank you so much!
Great tip on how to seal the boards before painting. I want to build a set with a built-in retractable string on one side to set the proper distance apart.
Great idea on the string, that would definitely be handy!
Awesome. That way you dont need to bring a big tape measure along. The problem with tape measures is that they usually only go out to 25 feet, so you have to set an object in the grass then add a few more feet. The string would make that so much quicker and easier. Thanks
Well done! Thanks for a really nice “how too”. Your boards look great, really professionally done.
Thank you very much!
These look perfect, and all the features are creative and well designed. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
a trick i use is using painter's tape on both sides of your cut when cutting the plywood and will prevent blowout in the vineer! love the quality of your work!
Great idea! Thank you!
I used this tip and the holes came out really clean. I wonder if this works with drilling through tile
Excellent tutorial..!! You do very nice work, friend...
Thanks so much!
Nice build
Thanks!
Nice work! Great explanation, Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful work! Do you have design plans for these boards?
Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, I don't have plans for the boards.
Great job! Looks more professional than those sell in store. If I want to buy them can you made me a set,?
Thank you! Woodworking is really just a hobby for me, and I'm not geared up to make these for sale, I'm sorry.
Really enjoyed this video thank you. I have made boards and experienced bleeding. I like the idea of sealing but do not have a spray set up. Could I use spray shellac?
Thanks for the kind words! You can use spray shellac, just try to avoid the stuff that has wax added into it. "sanding sealer" shellac is what you want. You can also just brush on the shellac, would work just fine.
Fantastic thanks
Super nice build. How thick is the top ??
Thanks! The top is 1/2" plywood, which seems to play nice, but most importantly is lightweight since I wanted to move these around and be portable.
Didn't know what one was till the end
Great feedback Tony! Thanks!
Did you thin the polyurethane before spraying?
No thinning, I sprayed it as-is right out of the can.
Hi - I was wondering what size router bit you used around the hole please
I used a 3/16" roundover bit. Just personal preference I think that 1/8" or 1/4" probably would be fine also.
How did you line up the circle stencil so it’s even all the way around?
Great question, something that I cut out of the video because i thought it was getting too long. I took advantage of the outside of the stencil being square, an easier measurement reference. Measured from the edges of the cornhole board, and marked lightly with pencil on the wood where the corners of the outside square of the stencil would go. Then just carefully laid down the stencil. If you look carefully with the video starting at timestamp 15:26, you can see the pencil marks on the board at the corners of the stencil as its being pulled off.
Did you use 3/4 or 1/2 inch for the top?
I used 1/2" birch plywood for the top. It seems to work well, and keeps the boards a little lighter and easier to carry around.
Can I buy a set of boards from you they look professional
Thanks, that’s very flattering! I’m just a woodworking hobbyist, not really setup to sell what I make at this time.
Where can I get that circle stencil?
There is a link in the description to find it online.
