I played the game “cornhole” last summer and loved it so I decided to make a set of my own this year, just in time for our party. Here’s a few pictures from start to finish. Started with 2 sheets of 3x2 3/4 inch birch plywood ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2579.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2579.jpg) Put the frame together with 1x4 pine boards ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2578.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2578.jpg) Cut a 6 inch hole in the boards for the “cornhole,” Not easy BTW ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2629.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2629.jpg) Killed the drill in the process… It still works, but just barely ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2630.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2630.jpg) Used my router to finish off the edges. It makes a hell of a lot of saw dust ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2632.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2632.jpg) How I clamped it to use the router ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2633.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2633.jpg) Staining it… Went with a Dark Walnut Minwax stain (dog wanted to be in the shot also) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2634.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2634.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2635.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2635.jpg) Used my paint sprayer to paint the frame. Going for the popular blue and brown look ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2637.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2637.jpg) Got a bit ahead of myself and realized I had to sand down the wood filler which meant I had to sand the entire thing. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2642.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2642.jpg) Came out okay though. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2644.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2644.jpg) In order to put the legs on I had to make a template to drill into the frame so it would be equal on all sides. Came out perfect. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2648.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2648.jpg) Had a vinyl stencil made up so I could paint on the monogram I wanted on the board. I didn’t get any pictures before I painted it though. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2649.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2649.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2650.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2650.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2651.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2651.jpg) With one coat of polyurethane on it, 3 more to go from this point. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2652.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2652.jpg) Finished product with matching bags that my fiance made ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2654.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2654.jpg) Picture of it in action… ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2666.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/talon109/103_2666.jpg) It took me a few weeks of working on it sparingly and about $150 all said and done… Most of the cost was for paint, stain, and polyurethane. Other than that the wood is relatively cheap. ---

That looks really nice… it is pretty much a bean bag toss game I’m assuming. ---

Should have pinned the top to the sides with dowels then used glue. The screw holes ruin it. ---

OMG $150 thats sooo much!!! Yes I could buy one already made that looks as shitty as the one blue eyed devil posted, but for $50 more I chose to make it myself, the way I wanted it to look. I also don’t mind the screw holes because I like the way it looks. Also, the wood itself costs about $40, it’s the paint, stain, polyurethane, vinyl decal, and 6" hole saw that shoot the price up. Now that I have most of the stuff, the next one would cost about $65. > [@newman](#): > > damn, 150 bucks! > > You could have bought like every backyard game ever for that. Including Lawn Darts! And for the price of your e30 build you can probably buy a new 1 series. But I’m sure you get satisfaction out of doing it yourself and having something that is uniquely yours. ---

> [@newman](#): > > It seems a lil wavy. Did paint get under it or was the sticker like that? I stole the monogram off a website and added the P. The picture was very small so when I blew it up, it was all pixelated and very jagged. They tried to smooth it out the best they could and that’s how it came out. I am completely fine with it because I knew that’s how it was going to look and figured it would appear more like I free hand painted it. ---
