I’ve always wanted my own cornhole board set but I also wanted to make a revolving ladder ball game. My brother introduced me to this game and it's a ton of fun! Since I’ll need a way to keep score while playing the games, I figured I may as well add a scoreboard to the list too.
What I thought would be really neat though is if I could package all the pieces for everything inside the cornhole boards and make the entire thing a self-contained, mobile, easy-to-store yard game set. Well… that’s exactly what I ended up doing and it turned out great!

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.
Also no
Aww
@@hardwarenutz9651 I only have two clamps in my shop
I love how these things nest together! What a fantastic idea and you executed it so well!
Thanks bud!
Uses CNC to cut a circle... lays out ladder ball pieces with math and a compass. Great content.
Used CNC to cut a stencil.. then proceeded to draw circles to follow with his jigsaw 😣☠️
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.
Thanks I appreciate that.
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. 👍
Thanks Stew!
Sir, woodworker for 30+ years and avid RUclips project watcher. Your video is FANTASTIC! Liked and Subscribed. Already looking forward to the next one. Outtakes.... Priceless!!!
Welcome aboard!
Stellar work my friend! Kids asking for cornhole game, boy will I raise the game....your are such a treat!
Thanks 😊
You know things are bad when Drew's neighbor didn't have any wood to steal.
I wondered where he got the compass from ... And pleaded the 5th
17:29 Looks like his neighbor has a shed he doesn’t need? Drew could make something real nice out of that!
Love it! Will be great for your camping trips, and awesome memories with your son already captured.
I hope so too!
@@FishersShop I loved it Drew, fantastic project! In my past boards, I've used a wing nut on the inside of the cornhole legs. Thought I'd make that suggestion if you ever find turning the nuts by hand to be an issue.
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.
Thanks Alain! Sounds like you've got things figured out quite well
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.
Exactly! My first attempt was that method but sanded through the veneer.
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.
Good tip!
Congratulations from Brazil 👏👏👍
Your Family is beautiful!🙌
Thank you so much!
I normally don’t post comments been watching woodworking videos for about five years. I absolutely love your sense of humor and your fine woodworking skills. Please keep up the Good work. Not only are your videos educational but enjoyable.
Thanks! 😊
Great job and use of space! Love the blooper reel!
Glad you liked it!
excellent! looks like a great Christmas gift for my adult kids and their families
Right on!
Clearly the outtake doesn't fall far from the tree. 🤣 You're a great woodworker and an awesome dad!
Your sense of humor alone made the video worth watching! The fact that I learned a couple tricks was a nice bonus! This is an awesome idea. Great work and great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you used the inside to store more games! I made a set that went together like a suitcase and all I stored were the Cornhole bags. Yours is so much more space efficient! Good work! You're such a good wood worker!
Thanks Kassie 😊
@@FishersShop thanks for sharing your work! My kids and I love it!
@@FishersShop she was talking to the CNC machine 😜
I make cornhole boards here in the UK, I made a jig from perspex that attaches to my router to cut the hole but you've definatly given me some new ideas here
Your videos are always a constant source of inspiration and entertainment for not only myself but my children. We all get such a kick out of your wit and sarcasm. It’s pure gold man. Thanks so much for all you do for the community.
Thanks, Sean!
Any one of these would be a fun subtle project. Triple the fun putting them all together! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
The best corn hole i have seen so far. Awesome job, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant design. I have never heard of the string game before, thanks for introducing it. My youngest (adult) son and I have made our own set of cornhole boards but yours has Walnut and looks better, except mine has Harley Davidson stickers under 7 coats of urethane to smooth the decal edges out so mine get more points for the cool factor ; - )
For some reason your videos haven't been showing up in my suggested list, still subscribed though. I have some catching up to do watching what you and your boy have been up to. Good to see that you are still building.
Thanks!
Cool family friendly games. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid. The walnut trim on the carry case was a nice touch.
Thanks 👍
Great project. Flawless execution. Love the humor. Thanks Drew.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always enjoy your builds & comments . This build looks like a lot of fun . Great job .
Another home run. Nicely done, Drew. I'm beginning to amass a library of Fisher's Shop plans. I'm going to go watch a video on how to draw a pentagon correctly now.
Hehe, have fun!
This game set up is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it and your family time!!!
Another great project! No doubt the time you spend with your son having fun with it will be priceless!
Thanks, Lori! :)
That is a really nice set up. For latching them together maybe add some pegs that stick out 1/4” on the frame of one box and corresponding locating holes on the other box.
That could work.
Awesome Project!!! Hey just a helpful hint for you. Keep a small container of acetone around. Take a paper towel and lay over the stickers from the store. Pour a little acetone on it and blow it will wipe off and leaves no stains or residue. Just completely gone for you.
I look forward to seeing your videos more than any other woodworker on RUclips! It always makes my day a lot brighter! Thank you very much for sharing this with us!!!
Thanks! :)
I fell asleep watching woodworking RUclips videos and woke up to yours playing....and absolutely love your content and the workarounds you provide for High End Precision machines. LOL Thank you for being awesome!
Great project Drew! Turned out Realll nice! Great Fun for us and priceless time with family and kids. Wondering if there's room to mount some horse shoes inside too...but may take 2 men and a boy to lift it. Thanks for the hoots and Fine ideas!
Haha would need a forklift
Just bought and downloaded the plans for this. Thank you for making plans that are actually affordable. 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 !
I was jealous of your woodworking skills and wit, and now I am jealous of your beautiful lawn!
Another great project. The best woodworking stand-up on youtube.
Besides my daddy, you are by far my favorite woodworker! I love watching your videos no matter what you make.
Hola! 🖐That looked like it was loads of fun. Our family likes to gather at the park often, this will definitely be on the build list. Thanks for the video and inspiration to get building. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Thanks! This has sure been a lot of fun. I love the spinning ladder ball game the most. Admittedly, once everything is packed up, it's really heavy. But I've managed to haul it around ok and we've taken it on all our camping trips.
@@FishersShop copy that, I'll just have one of my sons carry it if it gets too heavy 😂
Love the project! I’ve made cornhole boards before but now I think I have to remake them to be this awesome!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I just found your channel, my compliments to your for the excellent work and warm narrator's voice which makes the videos very pleasant.
Welcome aboard!
Inspiring and fun video. Liked the out takes at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
Absolutely love your sense of humour and the way you bag on all the naysayers!! People can be such picky a'holes sometimes!! Great project, if only I had kids!! Maybe I'll make one for the local neighbourhood kids mall area! Would love to see them hit themselves in the back with the 2 balls on a string the way your kid did, looked painful!! 😂 Bean bag balls??, And what's in the corn hole bags?? Would have to make all those myself too, luckily I can also sew!!
Haha... the bags used to have crushed corn in them but I think most these days are some kind of synthetic plastic bead.
You have officially outdone yourself. This is the coolest idea. You are definitely awesome.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Fisher Is the kind of wholesome maker the world needs. Great build!
Very nice. I have two corn hole board sets waiting for frame and legs. I think I am gonna buy your plans and build like yours. Thanks
Dear Mr. Fisher, Now that really showed the engineer in you! Great project.
Thank you kindly
Love your videos & your sense of humor...keep it going!!
Glad you like them!
Thanks I really enjoy your funny comments, Your work is amazing. I have never seen the 2nd game. Will go and read up about it a bit
Love your videos. Always worth watching because of the narrating during the construction, OH and the craftsmanship is really good too!
My new favorite woodworking website ! I like your style.
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.
This was a nicely done project. You are full of ideas and creative ways to accomplish tasks in the shop. Thanks for taking the extra time to make the video and share with everyone.
As always, entertaining as always. Came for the woodworking, stayed for the outtakes.
Glad you enjoyed it
Ah... why not just cnc the hole?
Great job on woodworking fisher, s yard game fisher, s shop 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Really cool project Drew. Probably 8 years ago I made a set of corn hole boards for a friend of my sisters and I attached the same kind of hardware to them so they could be put together so they could be carried like that. The set that I made was just the corn hole boards and none of the other additional pieces though.
Great project. Thanks for this one.
This looks like a great back yard game kit. It looks like you would have room to add a badminton set into the case as well. Keeping with the home wood working, make a ring toss to add in. Great job on your videos.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but you sound very much like Arlo Guthrie and you have the same sense of humour, very very enjoyable, not to mention your fabulous wood working ability. Thanks!
I think you are a brilliant craftsman and you always make your videos entertaining with your comments!! Well done!!! And the bloopers…hilarious!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing that.
That's a great game set, Drew~! I made my first set of corn hole boards, but I used 2x4s. Great if you need a little pre-game workout when carrying them out and getting set up. I want to make another set to be more portable, but I like your version better with the ladder ball and scoreboard/drink holder. Thanks for the video~!
You bet! Thanks for watching
Honestly such an amazing concept and design...so many little details that make this such an amazing project and video. Also, I'm pretty sure a ladder ball around the tripod - instant win...while the "nunchaku" hit to the head mishap = minus 3...
Haha thanks Ethan!!
Nice work Mr Fisher. Love this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always a good idea at Fisher's Shop and this video is no exception. I love seeing you and your son playing and working together. No one should ever question if you're good Dad. I am certain you are a prince among dad's. keep up the good work. oh and nice corn hole
Thanks buddy! :) I appreciate that
Pretty cool. Did I miss the flat head screw installation???
It was there... I just didn't draw attention to it. :)
During your "NOT AN ADVERRISEMENT" part.
@@jan-willemgoedvolk5186 I think it's at 13:20. One of the asterisk holders.
Very cool game set mate, I love the way you put your bloopers at the end
Thank you 👍
Always love seeing your videos show up. A great way to end a crappy day. Thanks!
Hello in the wonderful world of creativity. I have to say I love your lack of humour. There is more to life than laughing. You have to have some fun too, as a very vise man said to me. (I admit that I talk a lot to myself :-) ) Great craftmanship by the way! All the best from the north west coast of Norway.
Thank you so much 😊
these are the best wood videos on youtube
Glad you like them!
Awesome project that I am absolutely going to build for the family. The only super tiny thing I'll add is small blocks on the corners to allow the two side to align quicker when closing, but not get in the way when its set up.
what a great way to spend the summer! great video
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. This looks like a fun project.
As always Drew... great video and probably the best yard game design I have ever seen.
Thanks 👍
Awesome video. Games look amazing, but really my biggest take away from this, is you seem like a great father. I love the two of you playing together at the end
I appreciate that! Thanks!
Your videos are always very entertaining! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
You lucky Michiganers and your lush green grass. That’s about the only thing I miss about living in Illinois. Great project as always!!
Thanks 👍
Great content and got the plans. Thank you. Curious why you used the CNC to make the template when you could have just to the board and let the CNC made your actual circle? setting up side and top stop would make sure both were the same.. then 2 minutes and you were done.
The template makes it much faster to make more boards in the future. I don't have to set up the CNC that way.
Drew, You are so creative with the design and function of your projects...I've purchased some plans in the past and will do it again! Great job! By the way your son with his hole in one and then wrapping that thing around the tripod without dumping the camera... He's showing some real talent - I know where he gets it! 👍
Haha, yup! Thanks!
All of this is brilliant. Even if it took longer, I'd have CNC'ed out every darn bit of this that I could. I admire your jigsaw/sander skills. All around well done, Drew.
Thanks bud
That spinning ball thingy, I WANT THAT ONE! :D never seen anything like that in my 40 years lol seems lika e fun one :) 💜
This is perfect too for ppl like me that lives in an apartment, can´t leave stuff outside.
Thank you for sharing this awesome idea :) 💜
You're very welcome
This is BRILLIANT!!! You gonna have plans for this Drew. I’d buy em 😉
Maaaaybe
@@FishersShop lol
@@FishersShop what a tease!
Love the way you have fun with your kid, Drew! This Yard Games Kit is awesome, if you would want to buy this at a specialty games store it would cost you an arm and a leg!
Yeah, and without an arm and a leg, it makes the games that much more challenging!
@@FishersShop Definitely! 😂 🤣💪🦵
This is one of the best projects I seen you do, love the humor in the videos too.
Your dry humor is a nice touch. Starting my channel soon. Crabby craftsman. Same concept only bolder.. lol. I like the project
Great video. With a strap or two the number board can be used as a back brace so you can safely carry the corn hole board to the next family outing.
Wait for it... wait for it... THERE IT IS!!! That Flathead screw. You didn’t point it out, but I saw it. Classic Fischer 😃
It’s always fun to see your newest video. Very clever design.
Glad you like it!
Awesome as usual!! There is a market for that game collection!! And you still have room for a Frizbee and a Dueling Kite. Thanks as always!
Great build, love that it packs up so clean
Amazing as always. Very cool and easy project to do this summer. Thanks.
Wow you're such a good woodworker!
Hey, thanks! :)
@@FishersShop He was talking to the CNC machine.
@@TheBigChinoDon LOL
@@TheBigChinoDon 😂😂😂
omg! i thought he was going to solve all the problems in this world as he was adding feature on feature into this build🙏🏻.. and plus the humor in the video... next level diy thinking
0:55 and you're already on Walnut? Classic Fisher!
Great job Drew. Would love to build something like this sometime.
Thanks, Kevin
I felt all the feels at the end watching you peel that sticker off without having to scrape or sand it. One of the biggest win/loss moments of my life every
time it happens.
Nice job Drew. Never saw rotating ladder ball before.
Always fun to watch your stuff. A heat gun works wonders on those stupid labels.
