How to make unigue craftsman Cornhole boards with bag storage & scoreboard

With all the flashy, vinyl wrapped, led lit, bluetooth speakered, and wacked out cornhole boards that are popping up everywhere, I decided to throw it back a ways and make some good old fashioned Americana craftsman style boards. Built to last a lifetime of backyard family fun.

Great boards! And it actually was a blue star, with white stars on it lol

Well I like them if nobody else does.

I don't put the carrying handles in the middle as one end is heavier than the other. I take a few seconds to determine the balance point and put the handles at that point. :)

Really like the mahogany T&G on the slant. Beautiful boards!

Are you getting paid by the pocket hole or something?!?!?!

[@johnbednarski2169]

Why so many pkt. holes in the base of the board?

[@fishman8662]

Got all my answers. watch 2 times cause of the neat looking board. Thumbs up to you.

Why not glue and fasten your piece (to strengthen the hole), and then cut both holes at the same time? Save a little bit of time and work.

[@brett328]

The 2 foot by 4 foot cornhole board would be impossible to manage on my spindle sander, if I cut the hole through both pieces with my jigsaw, the hole will be rough and difficult to get perfectly round, and I don't have a 6 inch hole saw. So by making the support piece perfectly round and 6" in diameter first, it works perfectly as a template once its attached to the underside of the board. Its super easy to flush up with a router at that point. Really not a lot of work at all.

So how did you make the score pegs

Make a video

[@brett328]

Not gonna kid ya, I won't be making a vid of the knobs, unless I need to make more. BUT, all I did was buy some round cheapo wooden drawer knobs, then squared one off and drew a star on the other and cut the shapes on the bandsaw. Very carefully, because the pieces are small. Then, just plugged it with a dowel and painted them up. Spray paint and poly. Used tape to make stars an stripes and sprayed on the 2 ND color. Just make it up and have fun.
