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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
