Nice job! Now lots of great family fun. Great tip on cutting the cornhole board legs. Wish I knew that one before I did mine. I used PVC for my ladder golf. May not be as sturdy but super portable.

Thanks!

Awesome job! My brother loves cornhole maybe we can build one together 🤔

You need to build a jumbo Jenga set. Literally the easiest thing you can build. My daughter loves the one I made for her and her friends.

Great ideas Matt, and these would make good gifts for small day care facilities where they don't have the money for higher priced slides and playground equipment. I can see this being popular at family reunions as well. Thanks for the details.

Perfect for the 4th of July Weekend!

Great video sir made me subscribe

[@stormycat0905]

For Cornhole boards, if you'll be making a lot of the, make a guide on a piece of scrap ply wood or other thin wood that's as wide as the game board. Then clamp the guide to the bottom of the game board, drill a pilot hole and use a router with a flush trimmer bit to cut out the hole. I've found this method to be faster and a bit safer than cutting out each one individually.

[@731Woodworks]

Good tip. Thanks

[@Mattbowler34]

Wheres the delta miter saw?

[@731Woodworks]

I gave it to a needy woodworker locally

[@roncalverley3832]

Wow Matt, you really nailed this video. It was not only educational but quite entertaining. You come off as very comfortable in front of the camera and your personality and sense of humor really shine through which is great for engaging the viewer. Great stuff. I liked the projects and they all were very approachable for a beginner. Kudos to the 731 TEAM for pulling off a really nice video. Loved it!

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you 👊

I built the washer game and used stainless steel washers. I got some sheet uv decal from the sign shop and added it to each side of the washer to give it color.

[@731Woodworks]

That is awesome!

[@NelsonWoodworks]

Great video Matt, I always look forward to your videos. You’re truly an inspiration and one of the reasons I decided to start my channel. Thank you for all you do!

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you

[@paulalbright1079]

I learned that when making Cornholio games to run the grain top to bottom. and definitely sand down to 120 grit. It makes for a really smooth surface for the bags to slide easier.

[@paulmood308]

Great games. Of course it’s too hot to go and play with them 😂. I know it’s hot down in your neck of the woods.

[@731Woodworks]

Very hot! lol

[@suntzu6122]

Thats the biggest hole saw bit ive ever seen :o

[@sflagg0817]

As always great video, yard yahtzee Is very simple take a 4x4, cut in 5 pieces to make the template for the numbers take a piece of plywood the same size as the die, drill 9 holes, 3 in each row, that will give you all the number configuration you need, I used a forstner bit for the numbers going down just a tad I think I used caulk in the hole then my finger to smooth out number then nail polish the caulk it has the small brush so it worked out ok, paint die any color you want, again love your channel.

[@731Woodworks]

Awesome. Thank you

[@tedpuckett2779]

Nice vid. Yup...sanding...still looking for a silver lining but not there yet. God bless.

[@survivalsearcher]

Maybe a couple of hinges and a magnetic catch for the connect 4 release plate? Great designs, thanks as always!

[@Bender1138]

Just downloaded your plans for the cornhole set. I made a set last year using another set of plans, and I just got an order for a set for a customer. I was going to use the other design with mitered corners, but your build is much easier. I especially love the trick to get the angles on the legs. Thanks, Matt! Now, can I borrow Mrs. 731 for the paint job? (Just kidding.)

[@731Woodworks]

👊🏻

[@williammckelvey6814]

For the cutout for the corn hole, use a 1/8 inch round over bit to clean up the cut

[@chuckjohnson4048]

Lowes had some 4ah batteries for Craftsman 20 volt, 2 for $99. I splurged and bought the brushless 7 1/2" battery circular saw, works great for notching 2 x 6, worked for well over an hour before battery drained. Beat corded hassles and weight easily.

[@mikeoxard3922]

These are amazing! Y'all truly have a gift. Now time to see if I can make them lol

[@731Woodworks]

thank you. Go for it!

[@Pencilneckgeek216]

I want to build a set of two trebuchet that throw bean bags at targets each team sets up. Could even be something as simple as a building blocks that you make a fort or castle with. You could give each team sets of weights (could even just be a bag of bolts) to vary the power of the throw. I think it could be a really fun and unique game :)

[@lordrichard8184]

For the giant connect 4 or 4 in a row game. I’d make a master template of where all the holes go out of either 1/2” plywood or 1/4”. This way you only have to go through the hassle of laying out the holes once. Great ideas and video!!

[@stanwiggins3423]

Great time to use 1/8" or 1/4" hardboard as a template for light weight and long lasting master guide.

[@mgcaekdb]

What happened to the Delta Miter Saw? So Smooooooth!

[@731Woodworks]

I gave it away to someone locally who needed a saw.

[@johngregg5735]

Lots of good ideas! Two suggestions - You did a 'spacer' when you did that glue up. Wrap the spacer with clear packing tape. Nothing will stick to it. I found that when I used blue tape on some cauls. Little peices of blue were stuck to my project - When painting the areas and you had some bleed through, try painting the tape edges with the same color as the base. That is, when you did the red on the cornhole board, put down the green tape and paint the edges with that same red. It forms a shield and hopefully there's no bleed through. Shellac might work, too

[@731Woodworks]

Good tips, thanks

[@netanellalazar3819]

amazing! i just have to find a different way to cut the big holes without the special drill cup

[@731Woodworks]

You could do it with a circle cutting jig and a router

[@netanellalazar3819]

@@731Woodworks and a jigsaw to make it faster 😉

[@doityourselfjim7368]

Great work! On the 4 across game did you use 1/2 inch plywood? Love the way you made the piece to release the circles.... brilliant

[@amyabarca4440]

Does anyone have an idea of how to repurpose cornhole bags? We got some for the 4th without the board just to toss into some red, white, blue buckets as a lawn game. Now we have them, but aren't interested in actually playing a cornhole game again. They're the weather resistant kind with plastic beads. I'm at a loss for what to do with them.

[@rodcormier7428]

Nice projects.... just curious.... how long did it take you make the 4 Connect game .... Thanks for video and great job 👍

[@731Woodworks]

Rough guess, 3 hours or so. Took longer to cut the game pieces than anything. Oh and sanding the circles on the game board took a while too.

[@jonpaul1981]

What center punch do you use

[@brentfrench752]

Do you prefer the Masca pocket hole jig over the Kreg? Good video, thanks for sharing!

Have you ever used a piece of rigid foam insulation under the plywood to break it down? Wondering if it is worth a try. Wished I had seen this a few years ago when the kids were still living at home!

I haven't but I've seen a lot of people do it

[@huttodonohoe]

What size washers do I need?

[@kkehoe5]

Corn hole should have a 3/4” deck. Don’t want the bags to bounce on impact.

[@731Woodworks]

Not enough span to actually have any "bounce" on these. I went with half because it was also used on the four in a row game.

[@CarmensJourney]

Where do u get the cornhole bags from???

[@GokouZWAR]

Merica!

[@nobuckle40]

"A good 64th or a 32nd"? May I translate? 1/64" = .0156" or about 3 average human hairs. You can double that for 1/32". I don't think that's going to matter for a set of cornhole boards. The salt adds seasoning for the termites when they eat it. The Jackson Pollock would be proud. Nice set of outdoor games Mr. & Mrs. 731. :-)

[@ChameleonCreations22]

I may have missed it but did you spray any type of finiah on them? Or will paint suffice?
