Using a coat of primer might help

Hi Ashley, Acrylic paints are usually water based and not oil based, so they don't yellow over time. But you can always use a good outdoor polyurethane to protect the wood and prevent the paint from chipping and the weather.

Are you serious? various tools? I literally used an old black and decker drill I bought new over 7 years for 20 bucks, clamps, glue and screws.... You can cut the wood in whatever you have, table saw, miter saw, hand saw.... but I'm guessing you are just a troll

I bought at Amazon amzn.to/3dCRTES but you can also find at Joanns or any fabric store

I got a Behr outdoor rated in matte.

I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?

@Maverick Moshe Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !!

@Conrad Ezequiel happy to help xD

Hey, That's a Biscuit Joiner. It cuts a rebate into the wood, and you put a biscuit in. It assists in the joining of woods. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqHHq3Z8dpeSf8U

Hey Vincent. The paint is going to depend on the type of design you give and it's usage. If you know the cornhole will sit outside most of the time, I highly recommend outdoor rated. If you have a cool design and images you want to paint, you could do acrylic and apply a poly finish to it. The outdoors are pretty harsh on untreated wood, and I had mold show up within a month on the parts I did not put finish on. Even on the bare wood stripe I left, where I applied just a one coat of poly, the mold started growing. So it doesn't really matter which paint you use, but make sure you have it well protected overall.

Forgot to reply about the decals. I would apply after the paint, unless you are very good at protecting it from paint to come on. Just make sure to test the stickness after you put paint, cause it may not stick. You might need to sand or even apply extra glue to make sure it will stick. Now if you know the exact location where the decal is going and not paint it, you should be good applying it after the last coat (like a round circle decal)

Hey Chris, I was gonna come back and reinforce the foot miters and even the body miters, but honestly, they are still strong to date, even with my son jumping on them a couple times, and since this is just a foot rest, which doesn't take much weight, I never got around to it, but I agree with you, if anyone is building this, I would suggest some sort of reinforcement, either some lap joints, splines or even screws from the inside out.

Thanks Larry. That is going to depend on the paint/finishing you use, for mine I didn't do anything after my last coat and its good enough for me. You can use some paste wax and buff it without sanding, or if you sand, use a high grit (320/400) so it's really smooth. But my suggestion before applying the finish, do the same finishing on a scrap piece and see how it feels. Try different things, sanding, poly, wax/buff, etc...

How do you consistently paint the logos on? I’ve been messing around with cornhole boards and am using a thin plastic sheet with my template cut out but keeping the paint inside the lines is proving difficult for a dummy like me

Thank you so much Patrick. I finally have a new video coming up after a hiatus and will do a giveaway, check it out when it comes up hopefully next week.

Absolutely, it's quick and easy! Give it a try and let me know how it goes

800 as I like my table deep to be able to have my keyboard and monitor and still be able to use it to write stuff

The paint I used is rated for outdoor and it's been holding up great, so I didnt need to add a protective coat. But I did add a protective cover for the colorless stripe (the natural wood. If you are going to have wood exposed, always put a protective coat. Also, make sure you paint or put a protective coat underneath as leaving the boards outside will cause mold to show up on the underside.

@@WorkshopRepublic great thanks! I have a carrying bag I'll store them and likely keep them indoors, in my garage or in the patio when not in use, was just worried about the paint chipping, scratching etc when playing (even with soft cornhole bags)... I just want it to last and look great lol. Appreciate it! Going to get paint and primer later today

@@theserulesoflife I said that to myself as well, but then you throw a party, you get tired, you leave out, and a couple days go by... lol and is still sitting in my backyard for the past 2 months. But the paint is holding up great, no chipping or discoloration, just dirty from sitting outside, but I cleaned them a couple times and they are still looking nice But there's no hurt putting a top coat on everything, if you have it on hand, go for it for sure.

@@WorkshopRepublic I feel like you know me too well haha. That's how my last one was ruined. Better to be safe than sorry!!

@@theserulesoflife a polyurethane clear coat will make the boards more slick so there is a con. Typically I only clear coat if I use a decal.

Hi Mark, sorry, I completely missed your comment. The stool is 21 by 15 and has a height of 7in from the floor (keep in mind 7in is the height from the floor to the top of the wood frame), the foam varies depending on what you choose, mine was pretty thick and adds an extra 5 to 6 in to the height, totaling around 13in height total. The legs are 7in tall and at the top they are 11in in width and at the bottom 13in since it's angled. For the screws there were a few different ones for every occasion, the ones holding the legs(the nicer ones) are just some fancy screws you can find at home depot at those drawers in the screws and nails aisle. I don't remember exactly the type/name/etc... but if you go there, spend some time opening those drawers and you will find a ton of different colors and styles. For the internal holdings, it was just regular wood screw. I hope you build it and let me know how it went

Hey Don, the tape was the magic behind it. I tried using the blue tape in the past but the bleeding was happening very often. Using this Frog tape did the trick (along with using one of those rubber rollers to press it down), no bleeds at all. Also, making sure the surface is clear of dust before applying the tape, otherwise it may not hold and paint goes underneath.

Vivicloud01 yes, I had Lowes cut it into rough sizes for what I needed and after testing the best height for me, I was able to adjust using the screws on the threadless pipe fittings. The pieces didn’t have to be exact as you can adjust when adding the fittings.

Ok, do you remeber what sizes. I'm looking at getting the ikea gerton butcher counter top with a grey Alex drawer. But still undecided on what leg support I want for the other side. I've seen other youtube videos where people use another Alex drawer, trestle legs, or table legs.

If you get a chance could you let me know what sizes you had each pipe cut. I think I'm going to do the same setup bit with the gerton counter top. :)

Vivicloud01 so the Alex cabinet is around 27,5 in tall with the small feet, so i had four pipes cut at 13.5in and the cross one at 18.5in. You can then use a hack saw or grinder with a cutting wheel to cut it smaller if you need, but those sizes should be good

@@WorkshopRepublic Awesome thanks so much. Going to start tmrw in picking up the pecies. :)

Aaron Smentkowski lol!
