    Thanks for watching! Here's the answer to a couple questions I've been getting...
    Q: Why not just use the CNC to cut the hole?
    A: It's actually faster for me to make a template like I did. Setting up the boards on the machine and zeroing takes time. Plus if I ever make more cornhole board sets in the future, I won't need the CNC at all.
    Q: Where's the flathead screws??
    A: Haha, they're there! I just didn't draw attention to them. I actually used quite a bit in the little toggles that hold the pieces within the boards.
    Q: How much does it weigh?
    A: The final weight with everything inside, including the cornhole bags, bolos, and measuring string is 63lbs. It's heavy, but not too heavy.
    Q: Can you add wheels to it?
    A: Potentially. I briefly looked for a style of caster that wouldn't interfere with the cornhole game but didn't find a design I liked. The wheels would have to be detachable, I think. A couple D-rings and a shoulder strap might help, but if it's too heavy for you, just don't pack all the pieces in there.
    Q: Can I marry you?
    A: No.

    Your commentary is always tongue in cheek and easy to listen to. Good project and good fun with your kid.
    Tip: use the countersinking bit first, then the drill bit. The countersinking bit won’t leave chatter marks or an elongated conical hole when used first.

    Just recently found your channel and wanted to comment on the excellent content. Fun and funny, your advertising is tasteful, short and doesn’t take away from your video, and I think most importantly, your prices for your plans are very reasonable at $5. I feel like I would readily purchase all of them to support your work and not feel like I’ve spent a ton of money. I also appreciate the dedication to woodworking for those that can’t afford machines like a CNC. So many channels start humbly and teach so much then divert to great things (like CNC, high end precision machines, Etc) as they gain sponsors that I’m sure is great for the content creator, but mostly leaves projects out of reach for people like myself. Excellent work.

    @pawpawstew 3 года назад +2

    Drew, this is not only a great project leading up to summer, but you executed it with minimal use of your CNC. That shows you understand your target audience is likely a home DIYer. Now, I made a set last year and used a 6" hole saw, which I highly recommend, and the score numbers can be made with rub-on transfers. I bought pre-dimensioned lumber and didn't even use my table saw.
    Thanks for posting this. I'll buy a set of plans. 👍

I see a lot of stuff I can figure out how to make but decide to support the creator by buying the plans just to see the plans cost like $25-$50 and I just can't justify spending that. So thank you for making them affordable so we can support creators !

    Hello Drew, great video as always. Informative and I really enjoy your sense of humor too. I have made a half dozen cornhole board for my friends and family and found that making a template for the center hole would save me some time, Like you I used a high quality and expensive protractor and made my template out of mdf board the same width as the board and measured exactly where the hole should be (9” from the top). I then clamp my template to the bottom of my plywood top and use a trim bit plunge router to make my holes. For the cutting the leg angles, I found a gal can of paint lifts the top of the board very close to the regulation 12” height the boards need to be. I then lined up the assembled leg against the side of my bench, traced the inside and cut the piece of my miter saw. I always learn a lot from your videos. Cheers.

    Drew, a heat gun (on low temp) or a hair dryer works wonders for removing labels from wood or cardboard boxes. Once you get the hang of it (as in not overheating the label) very little residue will be left behind.

    Cool project!
    One quick tip to save painters tape is to just spray the engraved numbers without the tape and then sand off the overspray. But I’m guessing you knew that but didn’t want to sand through the plywood vaneer. More of tip for others watching that may be using solid wood or Baltic birch plywood.

    I once made my own set of cornhole boards, so that makes me an expert and qualified to offer suggestions. The spray-on poly was definitely the right approach, but for a good "slide-y" surface and all-around durability, you want way more than just one coat. I understand that you probably just didn't include the lather-rinse-repeat for the sake of brevity, but if you didn't... go back and do at least 2 more coats (4 more is even better). Remember to sand lightly between coats. :)
    Thanks once again for the awesome video! I LOVE the spin (see what I did there?) on the traditional design of ladder ball (ladder golf, where I'm from)! I have to make one now.

      Yup, I did four on the tops.
