Thanks Cpayne. Nice work Trem!

Nice!

Cornhole!

Looks sweet. Did you use a stencil? If so where did you get it?

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

We just painted it all white, then put down tape when we painted the other colors to get the white stripe. The Redskins logos are decals we got from someone on ebay not stencils. Was fun to make them cant wait to play with them!

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

And a big thanks to Cpayne!

They definitely look legit. A friend and i made some VCU ones a month or 2 ago..... yours look a lot better.

nice, i been thinking of a design for my boards. Thats pretty damn sweet

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Very nice. I have been meaning to make a set for a couple months. I had pictured the line seperating the Burgandy and Gold being horizontal about 2/3rds the way up with the logo breaking the line. I like these much better though. I hope you don't have a patent on these cause I am probably going to copy your fine work.

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Feel free to copy! The two things I would warn people about though are #1 make sure the frame you build is level, this caused me hours of frustration because the one on the left was off by a little so the legs had to be different angles, and two use thick plywood. My sister made a set a couple years ago (no desgin on them) with thinner plywood and it is warped and difficult to use.

What the heck are these things exactly?

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Did you put any type of clear varnish on after you applied the decal? I have been back and forth on if it would be necessary for protection (mainly for the decal), but also do not want the boards to be to slick.

MUST HAVE THESE!!!! Not only am I a big fan of the 'skins, but also a big fan of cornhole!

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

We did put a clear coating on (girlfriend did it as she is far more careful and steady handed than I am!) but we did it after we took these pics, so the boards are now much more shiny. If you are going to use decals you have to put a clear coat on as the sticker is certainly going to come up, this was WAY more obvious to me after we placed the stickers on. We are probably going to put on a second and maybe even third coat to protect the stickers and the boards in general.

Thank you sir!

That looks like essential tailgating equipment written all over it.

Excellent!

I had the same problem with a set I made for my son-in-law. Corrected it by using non-warped 2 X 4s. He hasn't painted them yet, and wants one silver, for his Raider Silver and Black, and one Gold for my Redskins. He has my granddaughters so confused!

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

I made a set and I torn about painting them. I made mine out of oak plywood and they slide so much better then the real slick painted boards. If anyone wants to make a set you can buy the ply wood already cut from lowes you just pay a little more for them. You will have to cut out the hole.

About a year ago was the first time I heard and had officially seen a cornhole. At first my mind went straight to the gutter, but after I was able to pull out of said gutter I immediately thought of as the game I knew as "the bean bag toss".

I can only guess that the southern fried country folks couldn't say that long of a sentence so they shortened it to "cornhole". And if I'm not mistaken I thought the "bean bag toss" had more then one hole which also shows the country folk can't handle more then hole :)

Jus sayin'

Oh and the first place I heard it called Cornhole was Ohio. Jus sayin'.

Why would it be called Bean Bag Toss when the bags are filled with corn? Sounds like the south just corrected what was wrong.

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Haha hey now I didn't mean to start back up the civil war here! I have lived in southern states and northern states they both have their good points and their bad points!

Yeah I should have checked the 2x4s more closely before I started! Will do on the next one.

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Pretty good for amateur stuff. But since you wanted to show off....

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

Sweet! I like my yellow better just because it has the old school look but your boards certainly look better constructed.

thats putting it lightly

i like the design of these ones alot though, the way the burgundy is kind of pointing to the cornhole is a cool idea, great job

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

I see we need to have a "cornhole" making contest.

I just imagined some drunk hillbilly trying to play horse-shoes while tailgating and got mad because he couldn't drive the stake through the concrete.

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

We'll I make them as a side business. No need to have that contest. I would win automatically. :)

we'll see, i'll post my set when i get them done in about 2 weeks :)

Re: Wanted to Show these off
 

I have never played cornhole, though I have seen it played 2 or 3 times. My observation of the game was that the thrower almost always uses an ice cold 12oz counter weight in their non-throwing hand. I'm not sure if it is a rule or custom.
