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.

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

"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. :-)

Matt I think you missed a great opportunity to showcase your CNC. Depending on the size they can cut out all the parts needed for the games. At the very least try cutting the 6"hole in cornhole board or the 4 in a row game. It will save you money on buying hole saws and your arm drilling. Think out side the box, get on that horse!

@PaganWizard 3 жыл бұрын

If the legs that support your cornhole boards are long enough (regulation length is 12 inches), you can add a special twist that won't have any effect on your game at all. First, you're going to need to cut two 1/2 inch dados on the inside of each leg, at the same angle you cut the bottom of the legs. The first dado will be about an inch above the bottom of the leg, the second one will be 3 1/2 inches above that one. Next, cut two pieces of 1/2 inch plywood, or solid wood, whatever you have available to fill the dados with zero overhang. Glue, pin nail and paint the first strip into the lower set of dados. For the upper set of dados, before you install the strip, cut 2, 3 or 4, three inch holes (your choice as to how many) spaced evenly, then glue, pin nail and paint as you did with the first strip. These strips are going to serve two purposes, the first is adding strength and balance to your cornhole board's legs, the second is that you have perfectly sized holes to hold your favorite canned beverages while you're playing your game.
