Cornhole Board Builds

[Homercidal]

Two girls, one cup.
You're welcome.


@homercidal those plywood pieces should work well.
I've thought about making some, but I just never got around to it and really I only play while out so...

Two girls, One cup...

NO thank you!



I have a basic design in Solidworks. Just need to add cupholders! :cross:

We forgot tubgirl!

Don't bother if it's close to lunchtime.

 

[Psylocide]

How about cakefarts?

Seriously though, what happened to this thread.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Yeah. Bad deal.
This had wholesome written all over it with potential for some really cool ideas.
Maybe next time.

"Corn hole". I think y'all mean "bean-bag toss", which is a game for small children. Much like beer pong and flip cup.

I much prefer washers, if we're going to throw **** at **** while getting ****faced. Or as properly pronounced in my native East Texas dialect, "warshers".

Or horseshoes. Commonly referred to as "horshers".

Building a cornhole set was on my to-do list for this summer. And last summer. And probably for several summers before that.

I'll get around to it eventually.

Since I have nothing better to do while I rebuild my NAS backup system, I am wondering what kind of plywood would be best. I want it to be nice-looking, but not terribly expensive. I'll coat with a matte poly over the design.

A guy at work from Wisconsin has made a couple. He integrated cupholders that flip out from the back legs, so when you are throwing you can set your drink down. Of course when you aren't throwing you're drinking, so there is no risk of spilled beer. I think the cupholders were built into the legs so you could fold the cupholders up, then fold both the cupholders and legs into the back of the cornhole box for storage/transport.

Cupholders!?!?! Brilliant. Because I have spilled my beer every single time I've played this game, even with the 2 year old grandson.

Cupholder! Must do. Since I have no desire to build anything, maybe I can just staple a firm koozie on the the back. Then I could get my drink in and out easily, and not spill while I toss.

Homer, you are brilliant!

 

[TheCADJockey]

Cupholder!

I think these are a much better option. If you get the 3-4 ft tall ones, they make for fun targets to hit with the bag. When positioned poorly, a direct hit can shower your friends with beer.

Oh, well, if you want to make it EASY for yourself, go right ahead!

I'm currently trying to talk my wife into helping me build these. She says she thinks we have one in our camper, but I'm pretty sure we don't.

I find it amusing to think about the two of us working on anything like this together. She doesn't know what she's doing and I can't make any decisions and I always forget things.

I think we'd be prefect together!

You've got me second guessing building cupholders into the cornhole board.

I'm almost sold on these things you've posted, but I probably won't be convinced unless I get to see them with actual beer in them.

These are the ones we actually used at my friends place. Waist height for normal sized people. No reason to struggle with building something into the side of a cornhole board, these are cheap.

I've got the wood for everything and I'm going with a 2x4 with 1/2 ply as well. The plan is make them hinge together with the bags going inside.

After that I'm thinking about an inch from the outsides I'll use a router about an inch in to set in some rope light. At that point I'm trying to figure out how to seal that though.

What do you all think?

When I get them built (after finishing painting the house and doing half the back yard landscaping) I'll have to post pics. I'm going to paint or stain them black and then stencil on the Guinness logo. Getting the shading right will be the hard part.

I know a championship horsher player. He's got trophies and everything.

Here's Mine...

I got the decals from a local guy named "Cornhole Steve"
They're actually a full vinyl sheet that covers the whole deck.
They're translucent so the wood grain shows through them and it looks like the logos are done in stain.

Gonna get a lot of use this weekend

 

[MerlinWerks]

A couple more pics.
I spent waayy too much time and money on these not to show them off a bit

@merlinwerks

Really nice looking build there. That's some skills you got. Clean, neat, great looking finish.

 

[MerlinWerks]

@Gavin C

Thanks!

do dheagh shlàinte

I haven't built any in a while, but these were hand painted except for logo, and used 1x4 with 1/2" blonde wood plywood for these.

I prefer boards built out of hardwood 1x3 and 3/4 plywood. I'll have to search around some old hard drives to find more pics.

I think I even made the bags for those.

Another set made to raffle off for a dear friend with cancer.

I want thaaaat!

To those of you using 2x4s and worried about the weight, try using 1x4s instead. There will not be much strength difference (for this application anyway) on the 4 inch side. When framed out correctly and coupled with the 3/4 inch ply you should be able to jump on it without breaking and the weight is considerably less than a 2x4.

 

[dcrog]

I've built quite a few with 1x3's and never had any problems either. I prefer hardwood instead of pine but both are quite sturdy.

Another plus of 3/4 lumber is it doesn't warp as easily as 2x4's. I've seen many of those decide to warp over time and have to shim one corner of the board to keep it from bouncing.

Also anyone building some of these don't forget to put a cross brace in the center, especially if using 1/2" plywood. It helps remove the trampoline effect.

 

[Natdavis777]

We build ours from 1/2 plywood. We have a compact set, where the from and back have "legs" that are on hinges that allow it to stay compact when put up. The other type has the sides that taper up, and arent as suitable for travel.

Here's my set.
They are almost done.

Couldnt have chosen two better teams to make boards with! They look awesome by the way.
