Great video brother. My dad and I used this to make 8 boards for our bar competition. Thank you for making us buy a pocket hole jig, grandpa is tickled to death with it. Have a beautiful day
Watched a TON of build videos for these. This is hands down the best looking and best build method I’ve seen. Great job.
Means a lot my friend! Thanks!
Great job they look great.
Thanks a ton my friend 🤙🏻
I am loving the Safety Chicken ... !
Haha he does add a bit of excitement to a longer video.
Nice design. Great extra touches.
Thanks for that my friend!
Nice work, thanks for sharing and goodluck with your product.
Thanks for that my friend!
Awesome video! Made a set today & they turned out great.
Thanks bud! And I’d love to see pictures when you get them.
Great job.
Appreciate that my friend 🙏🏻
Great job like this idea well done
Thanks for that my friend. Everyone needs a set of corn hole boards out back.
Man that is awesome 🤙great video too man
Thanks buddy! These were fun to build 🤙🏻
Very nice build.
Thanks for that my friend!
Awesome! I’ve never played this game being from the UK I’m not sure it’s known that well here. Really do want to build one though and have a go. Great work 😊🙌🏻
You should bring this game there! You’d be a living legend in no time!😁
You make it look so easy, i just finish my first cornhole boards and it took me about two 1x4x 8 boards and a bunch of wood dowels to make the legs 😂. Great video sir
Thanks for that my friend!
I’ve build 5 sets of boards now in various styles, I tried to mimick this style on my last set and couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much for the tutorial! This is how mine will be done from now on!
instablaster.
How long was the center brace for the legs?
Thanks for that! Means a lot to hear that this process works for others as well!
Very nice and clean build! Nice one! :-) You got me at 4:05 - haha!
Thanks for that my friend. 😂🤙🏻
Good job friend
Thanks bud!
Hey great video, very detailed. Boards turned out great thanks for sharing. A new friend here!👍
Always great to make new friends!
Killer job bud
Thanks for that my man!🙏🏻
Just followed your video/cutlist to make my first homemade set...very straightforward build. The only update I recommend is to update the cut list to include material for the leg cross braces (qty 2). Thanks for producing and sharing with the community!!!!
Ah great catch my friend!
Great work!
Thanks a ton my friend
A plunge router with the milescraft circle cutting jig works nice too.
I have heard this as well! The hole saw was so cheap on Amazon and the setup was so simple, we never tried any other method.
To make my leg cuts, I turn my boards upside down (the 3/4” birch is facing the floor) and make a 12” mark from the face of the board to the leg and then chalk it and it’s gives it a perfect line to cut at!
What angle do you cut at the 12” mark. 25 degrees?
Interesting. I’ve never tried that. I tried so many ways and always came up short. This was the best way I found to get them right the first time everytime.
Love the angle idea to the frame sides and the 1" overhang! I have made a few using 2x4 frames and just started my first attempt at 1x4 frames. What angle did you cut the front of the side frames?
The angled fronts were a 10 degree I wanna say my friend. It can be any angle really. Just ensure all 4 side boards are cut to the same angle.
Great video, do you have a video of your process of prepping the boards for stain and poly? Thanks
I don’t believe. I will look or I can do one.
Love this build. Do you perhaps sell the 45 degree clamp jigs you have there?
Love this build. I’ve seen this very video about 100 times. Very instructional! Props 👊🏼 to you sir. I have one question, what is the square clamps you are using when assembling the frames, think they are orange and dark grey. Not your corner square jig (which is a freaking genius design by the way). Any ways, thanks for spreading the gems 💎 every where for us little guys. 🙏🏼
Thanks so much! They are PJ parallel clamps.

Okay... I have never played. We grew up playing lawn darts, which were deemed to dangerous for today's families LOL! Mauka is just around the corner so this old man will volunteer to test out your awesome looking boards and make you look bad at the same time. LOL!!
Haha come on over my man! 🤙🏻
@@CarolinaMiss I would but... hurricane! You know how it is. LOL! I forgot to mention, the build is awesome. The method you use for the legs is definitely the best I have seen.
Very clear instructions! Quick question, how do you remove the fluff that builds up on the hooks of your orbital sander? I’ve been using a wire brush, but didn’t know if there’s a more effective method.
That’s exactly what we use my friend. We try to pull as much off as possible. Then the wire brush. 🤙🏻
Carolina Miss cheers mate.
Compressed air works the best every time you use it.
Those are some really beautiful boards! Nice work! I am definitely going to get a Kregs jig! Have a great week buddy! Thanks for your video!
I just bought a Craig's jig the 520pro it's a kit 100 dollars and best money ever spent ever!
Thanks for that my man. Kregs makes some amazing time saving tools for sure!
I really appreciate what you’re doing, thank you for sharing. What kind of one by threes do I buy? What Do you suggest?
We go with #2 pine from Lowes. We bring it home and let it sit in the garage for a few days under weights. This allows the boards to dry and climatize to prevent warping.
Awesome video and awesome instructions on the build I just have one question....how far over from the top of the board do you need to drill the holes for the legs?
We split the width of the leg. Measure the same distance from the top of the leg. This gives us out drill location. Add in a 1” spacer between the leg and the top of the board. Clamp it. Then back drill using the mark you just made on the legs. Make sense?
Carolina Miss thank you
Wow, nice boards! How high does the front of the board end up being off the ground with the 1x4 frame?
It is the same height as if you were to use 2x4’s. It’s based on if you you use 1/2” or 3/4” tops my friend.
Thanks for the video. Looks great and I'm excited to build a pair. I did notice that you're cut list shows using 1x3's but the video, you're showing 1/4's. Why?
Either one works. I have used both, but I do prefer the look of the 1x3.
Sammy the Safety Chicken . . .
I think he would question why, just seconds after mentioning safety in the beginning, you are shown using the miter gauge with a narrow piece running directly against the fence at the same time. That risks a dangerous bind. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's a lesson that was taught to me a long time ago. Better to have a stop block clamped against the end of the fence to register your cut length, then when you push forward to cut, the end of the board is actually free of the fence.
You are correct my friend. I’ve never had an issue with this method, but I do see the concern as mentioned a few times here. Always appreciate safety advice for these post for both us and our audience.
Love the vid what angle did u cut on the front
On this set it was a 15 degree. It could be adjusted based on how far in you want your front frame board. Just cut the angle from the front frame board to the end of the side frame board.
Hey man, love your video
On the legs..
What is the spacing you use from the rounded end to the head part of the board frame before drilling the bolt holes?
I use a 1x4 along the top 1x4 as an inside spacer to measure the distance.
So it's 3/4 space between frame and legs
Curious, I see the grain running horizontal. I’m a newbie but I thought you should go with the grain on the long parts. Any advice is appreciated.
For strength you do. But for something like this, it doesn’t really matter either way.
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you are using 1x3s or 1x4s for the frame. The cut list says 1x3s but i thought i heard you mention 1x4 in the video, and someone in the comments also mentioned 1x4
I like the 1x3’s. They are a little lighter and just as strong.
Are the sides 1x3 or 1x4. I think they are 1x4 but the cut list says 3". Best video yet.....making these this week!!
You are correct. The process is the same either way. I prefer 1x3’s personally.
What settings are you using on the router? My 3/8" bit takes a massive chunk out of the wood.
Looks like a 1/4 round over
It is a 1/4” round over my friend.
Very nice build! I plan on making my own however, I do have a question... Where did you get your hole saw and what brand is it?
There are many places, all the big box stores, Harbor Freight, eBay, etc. www.homedepot.com/p/DIABLO-6-in-Bi-Metal-Hole-Saw-with-2-3-8-in-Cutting-Depth-DHS6000/301697729

Absolutely beautiful boards! Can I buy them from you?
Apologies for the delay. We have temporarily closed and are currently remodeling our home. We will be back open in 2023.
So you used Baltic Birch top, the sides/frame what did you use pine?
#2 pine
I'm not playing cornhole professionally...lol, but I wonder if the roundover on the hole would be illegal in competition? I have to think it would but just for fun with the family and friends it does look nicer w/ the roundover. I see many using 2x4's for the frame too but I like the look of the 1x4's better and as you mentioned it would make it lighter, offset some by the 3/4" top though. Looks great!!
Appreciate that my friend!
question: for the legs location. are you going 3 inches from the end and 1.5 inches from sides?
I use a 1x4 along the top 1x4 as an inside spacer to measure the distance.
Great looking boards. Can you provide a cut list?
I will get it added in shortly. Great idea! 🤙🏻
You said you final sand the top with 220, do you sand with a lower grit first or go straight to 220?
The ply we buy is a finished surface. So we sand anything that might have been became rough during the process. And it also helps with the stain as well.
@@CarolinaMiss Do you have a link for the material you buy? Or a description?
how do you drill the holes for the legs into the frame? hand drill? drill press?
Everything here was clamped and hand drilled my friend. However a drill press would be a great advantage!
Just curious how far you went in to drill holes for the legs
I always clamp the legs in place before I drill to ensure they are in the correct location. I put a 2x4 between the leg and the top of the board for spacing.
Hi, I enjoyed your video and have become a new follower, yeah :-) Thank you for posting the video. I’m attempting to build my first Cornhole game set. I have already purchased the ¾” birch plywood and 1 x 4’s. I have been procrastinating because I don’t want to mess it up, however viewing your video and the way you have broken it down I feel a bit more confident. A couple questions though: I didn’t see you gluing anything together, just using the Kreg Jig, do you feel that gluing is not necessary? I was planning on gluing the 1x4’s to the top as well as using a Kreg jig. Also, how do you finish the top (stain and polyurethane) so it’s nice and smooth. Thank you in advance, Cathy
Board builders are moving away from glue - it isn't necessary, dried glue gets in the way, and if there's ever a problem with the board, it's nice to have the option to separate the frame from the top. There are some great Facebook groups for this, like Cornhole Collective or the Cornhole Board Maker's group. Stain is good, or acrylic paint with baby wipes. Semi-gloss Polycrylic is a popular finish.
The glue is a personal decision. But with the kreg screws it snugs up super tight. I always stain the top with a waterbased stain and the. Use a waterbased polycrylic. They work well together and super easy clean up!
How far is the leg carriage bolt hole from the top of the board?
Centered from top and side
What kind of based paint should I use
I used waterbased stains, paints, and polycrylic.
Where do you position the bolt holes on the legs as well as the frame?
This is always the tricky part. For us…On the square end of the leg, mark a point 1 3/4 inches from the end and 1 3/4 inches from the side and drill hole. Then put the leg in place on the board. Place a piece of cardboard between the bottom of the board and the leg. Leave a 1/2-inch gap between the end of the leg and the end board of the base and back drill thru leg and thru the side.
Any chance of getting a set of these to Rhode Island with a harley davidson wrap by next weekend? :)
Apologies. Just getting to responding my friend.
I get that the 20.5" plus 3/4" plus 3/4" would be 22"...and with 24" wide tops...that would be a 1" overhang on the sides. But if the tops are 48" long...and you have the long sides cut at 42"....wouldn't that leave a 3" overhang on the two ends?
Great catch my friend! It should be 47”. It has been updated. Thanks for catching that
47" would leave a half inch over hang right?
The plans say to use 1x3. But those look like a 1x4. Which do you use?
I use both. But I prefer 1x3’s for weight.
Great job!! Do you have a Facebook page?
We do. Same name as here my friend.
Is there any bounce on these boards?
None at all
How did you get an 1"overhang when you cut your length boards to 47".. That would give you A1/2 inch top and bottom.. Your sides at 20.5 would give you an inch overhang..or did you cut it to 46" and mistyped it
Good catch!
Nice job! I think your cut list should list 1x4 material? and not 1x3? Thanks for the video!
These are actually cut down to 1x3’s for this set. But to keep it simple, we built the cut list to 1x4’s 😁
In the video you call the sides and ends as 1x4, but the cut list says 1x3’s. I bought 1x3’s, which one is correct and will 1x3’s still work?
Both will work. That’s the beauty of these builds!
Are the 1x3's true 1x3 or off the shelf size 1x2.5" or whatever it actually is.
These are true 1x3’s that I ripped down from 1x4’s.
Sammy the Safety Chicken might be concerned with the guy wearing flip-flops while working with power tools.....
Lol this is true!
Ok enough with the fowl comments…I’m not too chickenhearted to say that I enjoy it…so all you peeps that dig it, peck out your support! Everyone else, stop clucking 😂
Lol glad you enjoyed it
People are just so fowl……
how come you didn't put any center braces to mitigate the bounce of the bags?
Some of our customers request certain things. These were built for backyard play on grass. So the grass eliminated any bounce.
what are the official sizes for the height in the front of the boards from the ground up ?
The height on the front was set by the height of the frame and the top thickness.
I’ve seen some people use middle support for frame using 1x3s and 1x4s. Noticed you didn’t. Think it’s necessary
It really all is personnel preference and how much they will be used. These were pretty solid with the screw design though.
What length is the brace for the legs
I always assemble and then make those cuts last. With wood from the box stores, nothing is ever precise. This way it ensures a perfect fit.
What’s the size of the side ? Looks big for a 1x3
These are 1x4’s. But the process will be the same with either.
Love the chicken
He’s a favorite! Thanks again
Random thoughts:
1. You clearly used 1x4 for the frames, but your cut list says 1x3.
2. No cross pieces in the center of the frame... are you not worried about "bounce"?
3. Consider adding a small block of wood for the legs to rest against when open. It'll relieve the stress those angled legs put on the frame, preventing damage long-term.
4. Suggested alternative to Baltic Birch? Most of us DIYers can't justify spending $200+ these days for a single sheet of plywood. ugh. :)
Hey Kevin, apologies for the delayed reply.
1. Both 1x4 and 1x3 will work well. It’s personal preference at that point.
2. We have built them both ways. Again it’s personal preference. Ive used both and I never really noticed a big difference.
3. This is a great idea! Thanks for the input.
4. Really any plywood will work. 3/4 won’t need any center supports. If you go with 1/2, ( a lot of people do to save on weight if they use them on the go) you might want center supports for long term use.
How much do you sell them for?
What was the measurements for the hole where the carriage bolt goes thru?!? Please!!!
I use a 1x4 along the top 1x4 as an inside spacer to measure the distance.
What’s the angle on the front for???
Decoration
Can’t believe a Ryobi drill could handle that size hole saw!
Haha I was also surprised my friend. But we have made lots of these boards with that same drill!
Great video but you didn't say how far back you drill the holes, on the frame, for the legs.
I use a 1x4 along the top 1x4 as an inside spacer to measure the distance.
The cut list has the sides measured at 47".... shouldn't they be 46" for the 4 sided overhand of 1"?
The sides have a 1” overhang at the top of the board, but it has an angle cut at the bottom. There is technically no 1” overhang on the sides where they connect to the bottom of the board.
I was looking for someone to ask this. Guess you have to do 1/2 “ on top and bottom and 1” on the sides.
This is part of the design that can be done however you like them to look.
how much does it cost to make
With the price of wood these days. It’s be hard to guess.
Do you make customer orders
We do. But we are currently getting settled in retirement and setup again.
What are the side measurements?
It really is person preference based on design. Most boards have a 1” overhang on all 4 sides. In this case, your sides would be 2” shorter than your tops.
What is the measurement to drill the hole for the legs.
It’s pretty open to what you like. Ours are 5/16. At this size, it is strong enough without adding too much weight
@@CarolinaMiss what pocket hole depth are you using?
Safety chicken didn't catch the no goggles on table saw
Oh he did. He yelled off screen. Lesson learned. Publicly 😂
what's the measurements for the leg holes on the boards
I use a 1x4 along the top 1x4 as an inside spacer to measure the distance.
Do you sell these boards?
We have and will in the near future. We are currently getting established in the retirement life!
@2:36 you say the boards are 1x4s but your cut list says 1x3s
Both will work my man. I do prefer 1x3’s though.
God bless you using a table saw, i like my fingers too much.
They are intimidating for sure. But comfort comes with time. Start with small cuts with a good manageable board size.
Yes please don’t make crosscuts with a miter gauge and a fence causes a pinch point
This is great advice! Thanks for the suggestion.
Fronts too high for regulation
These are backyard boards my friend. Regulation boards are def more precise.

Chicken annoying
He does like to be persistent.
Your cut list does not match the video. 3/4" vs 1/2" Ply --- 1x3 vs 1x4 Sides
You are correct my friend. The cut list is suggested. This client wanted the lightest possible set.
I think it’s fowl that people are getting the feathers frizzed over a safety chicken. What the cluck is wrong with people now a days? Last thing you want is to be chicken-winged by a safety mishap.
Obnoxious
Thanks!
Chicken is VERY annoying
Haha we have since learned my friend!
Loved the video except the chicken. Almost made me stop watching. Super annoying
He has since been retired my friend! Thanks for the response and watching.
Take the chicken and throw it away. It's costing you subs. Annoying!
Haha it has since been retired my friend.
