Here I show how I make my corn hole board legs. No wobble guarantee! Quick and easy. Easily repeatable when turning boards in numbers. If you have any questions leave a comment!
Making my first set of boards. Followed instructions and after numerous tries I was almost over it. Decided to take a break and my daughter says “check RUclips “. I did. I’m so thankful that you shared your knowledge. Nailed it on the first try. Thank you so so much.
Thanx for a great video!! Forgot to use the speed square when tracing the line!! My board heights (should be 12" but was a little more) were over the 3/16" thickness of the speed square!! Measure twice, watch video twice and cut once!!!!!
Mr. Martinez, I was keeping up pretty good until you put the board on top of the paint can to get your angle with the speed square. Being that this is my first cornhole board set I'd been wondering how to get the legs the correct length and angle. (12 inches from the top of the board to the ground. I love how you got your leg angle, I feel like I missed where you got the length of the legs 12 inches. (I'm not looking for perfection. My cornhole boards will be used by drunk friends at the lake, and a different set of drunk friends 6 or 8 Saturday's in Athens GA during football season. But my OCD will get the best of me, and I won't be able to sleep at night if the legs aren't 12 inches..... (Thanks for the video and the time to put it together)
You never had any trouble with your legs cracking off? That is a lot of material you cut off around the hole. But it does seem like easy down and dirty legs and no messing around with not sanding enough or too much off.
Not a single issue. There is plenty of material left. You could even leave more by only notching the corners of the leg but they might hit when you open or close them.
Why don’t you set the degree on the miter saw and cut the leg bottoms instead of guessing?Cutting the board away from the fence like you did can be dangerous.
@@henrymartinez8185 Thank you. Prior to your instruction i wasted a day trying to get the angle right but failed miserably. I watched your video and I was done in an hour. Thanks again
You didn't adjust the paint can to get the correct height for the back of the board. The paint can should be adjusted so that the back of the board is 12" from the ground.
I usually cut about 13" to start with. What length it is finished depends on the Cornhole board top. Twisted or bowed lumber can make the finished length vary.
I too found the 1 gal paint can ( with a scrap piece of 1/4” plywood) to be the perfect height to lift the top of the boards in order to have a 12” lift. I like the HD design and the wood stain. Nice job.

Best demo video I found. Thanks
Thanks! My fiance was making some and she was getting really frustrated with the legs. This video helped her out a lot
Can't thank you enough Henry ! made it so easy

Boards look awesome for sure
You have made my day easier ty
Nice cutting!,,didja know you can swing your angles, without risking a kickback?!?
What size bolts did you use?
That was awesome man! They look great!
Well done bro 👏

@@henrymartinez8185 I always did it the hard way cut just the corners off and cover myself in saw dust from all the sanding lol
Where did you buy the Harley decals.? thanks for the video it made things a lot easier
My wife made them with her vinyl cutting machine. If you look on Amazon, there are some nice vinyl decals you can buy. I've used them before.

They all differ. The twist or bow in a 2x4 can throw off the entire cornhole board. If you cut them all the same, the board will wobble.
@@henrymartinez8185 made this mistake today. Hence why I am on your video. Cut my legs the exact same. Sure as shit, my board wobbles
@@chrisrishor3894 did you get it fixed?
You should not be making tutorials.
Nice information Thanks
How did you finish the board with the decal and stain? Looks amazing
Decals and polycrylic
Good info. My question is when you cut the leg tops you just did a 45. Is there a standard on where you cut it?
I just try to leave as much as I can so they don't break. Usually 1/2"-3/4" from the hole for the carriage bolt
@@henrymartinez8185 Thank you. Prior to your instruction i wasted a day trying to get the angle right but failed miserably. I watched your video and I was done in an hour. Thanks again
Did you use polyurethane to seal and make a slick surface?
Most people use water based polycrylic these days
Polycrylic
You didn't adjust the paint can to get the correct height for the back of the board. The paint can should be adjusted so that the back of the board is 12" from the ground.
Yes…i was thinking the same thing. Paint can technique is close, but needs some finagling to get the 12” height.
Henry question for you - how long is the leg from top to bottom after it is cut
I usually cut about 13" to start with. What length it is finished depends on the Cornhole board top. Twisted or bowed lumber can make the finished length vary.
Thanks for tutorial.
Just set angle on saw for leg
I'm making my first set and was getting frustrated with the legs.I think I was overthinking it.Thanks for making it simplified
What length were your boards to start out with for the legs
13"
I too found the 1 gal paint can ( with a scrap piece of 1/4” plywood) to be the perfect height to lift the top of the boards in order to have a 12” lift. I like the HD design and the wood stain. Nice job.
Good question
Nobody knows what that board is youre using to angle the feet. People at home dont have your boards in their garage to use
What length did buy those bolts ?
3 1/2"
