How to make Cornhole Boards // With 2 bonus features - Plans available!

[@ProTechEpoxyFloors]

I like the 2 embellishments, drink holders and bag storage is a nice touch

[@JessedoesDIY]

For sure! Glad you like them

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Looking good. I would suggest when trying to drill the hole put the drill in reverse to make the circle mark first then put it back to forward and drill. This will help stop the hole saw from traveling.

[@JessedoesDIY]

I'll have to try that!

[@joannedwy7100]

I make custom corn hole boards, but I learned a lot by watching this video! Thank you!!

[@PatrickKelly-yo1ej]

Much better detail than the other videos similar to this. I like this design.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks very much!

[@specialmustard237]

Awesome work! I’d say my two cents on your spacer/clamp/drink holder complication you asked for, would be to use a longer clamp going from leg to leg, lightly pinching the drink holder board between the legs. Tight enough where it won’t move around on you, and loose enough that you can gently tap it with a mallet to make fine adjustments until you’re ready to drive in the screws. I’m definitely going to try this! I’m thinking about adding a pop out “roof” above the drinks to keep bags from sliding off the back and knocking into drinks. Keep on trucking brother!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! I'm guessing I already spoke to you on Etsy at this point lol That's a great idea with the clamp. I haven't had anything slide into a drink yet, but I guess there is always a first time for everything. Will do man, you too!

[@tonycovarrubias2707]

Love it thanks for your upgrade these type looks strong and effecient.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome, glad you like them. I tried to balance style and strength without making the weigh a ton.

[@larryfox9290]

I just done a set with cup holder and I kept the legs bolted to the boards and measured down an 1.5” on both sides of the leg and drew a line then line the board up on the line. Then I used a clamp the hold the board in between the legs. Not saying that’s easier but that’s how I did it. Nice job on the boards.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome! Good to hear other methods, interesting to see how others do it. Hope you enjoy them!

[@sadielouwho5795]

[@tomchapin8406]

Just purchased your plans from ETSY and they look good. Going to make 4 sets for Xmas presents (one for myself!). Haven't looked closely at the video, but the materials list is missing the size of the pocket screws needed for the project. Thanks!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks very much! I'm sure everybody will enjoy them very much! Good luck on them all. Oh crap, you're right! I'll update it right now and can email you a new set

[@tomchapin4327]

@@JessedoesDIY Thanks. My wife and I have really enjoyed this project. Grateful for you paving the way with your great plans!

[@Alejandro-jw3mt]

What size pocket hole screws did you use? I used 1 inch at the shortest setting on the Kreg and still managed to poke through.

[@JessedoesDIY]

I used 1" as well. Yeah, that can and has happened to me. I think Kreg pushed the depth a little too far sometimes. I've got into the habit of pulling my drill bit up slightly before tightening the collar down so it doesn't bury the screw as deep. Maybe 1/16-1/8"

[@stavvy6628]

Any reason you made the bag storage different in the plans? Hoping the 7 inch gap still works since I’ve already built it following the plans.

[@JessedoesDIY]

I made the plans after the boards and sometimes I modify them if I've found a better or easier way after building it. That's all. The plans are improved versions all the time. Good luck on your boards

[@droidian]

Very nice. Now do a vid on the "Hoosier" version from the Midwest with just 2x4's and plywood. kek. I luv the cornbag holder(mice ate out mine in the garage), but the placement of the beer holders is bad because of the bags falling over the end. How has that worked for you? I won a set from Keystone Light($205.00) and gave it to my kid which is similar to the one you made.

[@stevenserna2680]

I didn’t even think about the bags hitting the drinks in the holders. Perhaps adding a brace higher up on the legs would prevent the bags from reaching the drinks, or at least hitting them with full force. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. We'll I'm from Canada so that'll take a Google search because I have no idea what those are lol. Actually that's why the drink holder is tucked up nice and tight to it and not further out. Typically the bags go flying off the end and I haven't had an issue yet.

[@thesouth40]

My one question is, is it regulation to route the edge of the center hole? Since that is critical to bags falling in the hole or not falling in the hole, I bet there is a ruling on that.

[@JessedoesDIY]

I couldn't find anything. But it even looked like some hole kits you can buy had softened edges so I did it. But it is a soft transition, not a big round over

[@vincentdangelo8024]

Could you attach the drink holder with the legs attached to the frame?

[@JessedoesDIY]

It was harder to balance everything that way and not have it in the way, but if you can find a way, no real reason you can't

[@scottdemonte3103]

Very nice all around. D0 you have plans to link to?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. In the description, I can't add links here. Or go to Etsy and search my channel name

[@RefugeWoodcrafts]

I think you should adjust the drill chuck to prevent the drill kicking back when drilling the 6 inch hole.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thought about it , but I went for max force...and we all saw how that went.

[@dubCanuck1]

Tip: grab the battery end with your off hand to not rip your arm off with big hole saws.

[@JessedoesDIY]

I should have just put the handle on the drill to be honest, but I'll have to try that next time

[@HaraldEmmerich]

I bought the plan but have problems with the dimensions because my English is terrible :-( I really like the design and have learned to love the game and would like to build it

[@JessedoesDIY]

It is a fun game. Can you use Google or Edge translate? Both browsers should be able to do it right in the plans

[@5309backbeat]

Did you use painter tape or frog tape when staining?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Frog tape is painters tape, it's just branded is all. I just used basic ol scotch painters tape. I personally haven't been blown away by frog tape, especially given the price they charge. If you press regular painters tape down and into the project or a corner along the edge like you should normally, there basically is no difference, at least to me

[@keithfowler632]

Looks good but acl regulation frames I believe are made from 1x3 limber not 1x4s

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. Regulation height is between 3.5"-4" to the top of the board when laying flat. The 1x4 is 3.5" tall and 1/2" plywood on top makes it a smidgen under 4". The whole board is regulation adult specs

love it! What brand is the water-based exterior clear coat?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. I use Varathane Diamond, it may also be Rustoleum not Varathane depending where you are

[@jkdmmabox]

How much would you say you ended up spending in materials? Thanks!

[@JessedoesDIY]

It all depends on your area but around $110. Could be done cheaper with less expensive wood

[@zebduffey5698]

[@cirioli3]

Thanks! Would love the plans.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome! I'll start working on them tomorrow

[@katelaudie8188]

What length of pocket hole screws did you use?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Whatever your pocket jig says for 3/4" and 1/2" material, they are different

[@masonschneider9625]

I don't mean to be "that guy" but are you sure that's 1/2" plywood. Looks like 3/4". But if it is, do you find it's enough thickness? I've read 1/2" can have a bit of a bounce to it when you throw the bag

[@JessedoesDIY]

It's 100% 1/2". With the center braces I added there is no bounce at all, it's solid. I was worried about the same thing that's why I made the bag holder also support the top from below.

[@masonschneider9625]

Just finished building these this past weekend. Great video! My issue has always been folding legs. I just can't get them perfect. Each one seems to differ slightly from the next one, and it's single handedly my least favourite part of projects ... Anyways, from one Canadian to another, it's nice to see videos with Canadian references (and prices!). You have my subscription! GO OILERS

What kind of sprayer did u use?

[@wwfd25chief]

If your drill came with a handle put that baby one before you use thar 6” hole saw. So much easier!!!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Absolutely! I just...couldn't find mine lol

[@gurthbroox]

When I heard, “6 inch hole”, I subscribed.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Nice...

[@Pserio_1991]

What size pocket screws?

[@JessedoesDIY]

It's all in the plans and on your pocket hole jig, material thickness vs screw length

[@MajorAcid]

How long did you cut the legs originally?

[@JessedoesDIY]

14" I think

[@markplehinger9055]

What are the depth of first pocket holes

[@JessedoesDIY]

Whatever depth my jig goes to for 1/2" and 3/4" materials

[@CWBush73]

What kind of table are u working on?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Just a piece of 3/4" OSB on sawhorses

[@ArturVoskanyan24]

Hi.Thanks for video. How much kg the board? And what is the name of device in 1:51

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime, glad you liked it. Per board...probably around 4 kgs if I had to guess. That's a pocket hole jig, Kreg is the brand.

Those drink holders need to go. Not a good spot for that. I don't want beer on my bags

Don't hate, appreciate. Move them further apart, closer to the legs. I've had no interference with the bags spilling my brews. In fact even a tall bottle can't be tipped over this way.
