I've watched at least a half-dozen videos on cornhole boards, and this is by far the best I've seen. Job well done! I'll be following this tutorial when I build mine!

Great tip on how to seal the boards before painting. I want to build a set with a built-in retractable string on one side to set the proper distance apart.

@jkmwoodworking Жыл бұрын

Great idea on the string, that would definitely be handy!

@Vid_Master 9 ай бұрын

Awesome. That way you dont need to bring a big tape measure along. The problem with tape measures is that they usually only go out to 25 feet, so you have to set an object in the grass then add a few more feet. The string would make that so much quicker and easier. Thanks

a trick i use is using painter's tape on both sides of your cut when cutting the plywood and will prevent blowout in the vineer! love the quality of your work!

I just made some half-assed boards from bare studs and some 1/2" plywood since I don't have a table saw or anything fancy. These are very clean looking! Need to get a table saw and router badly!

Your boards came out great! I like the beer/drink holder idea. It's a great idea & look. The only thing is that the bags will eventually slide off the board & contaminate the drinks? Bags do get dirty...Very nice build though. Good job 👍.

@jkmwoodworking 2 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for the kind words! I tend to only leave my beer in the holder when it's my turn to throw, otherwise it's in my hands. So that's my strategy for keeping the bag contaminants out of the beer.

That's all we want. A dirty bean bag in our back edge cup holder. I think a launch area standing cup holder with scoreboard is a far more appealing option.

I ended up putting drink holders on mine as well. But, Instead of a 2x4, I used a 1x4 board and a 2 3/4" hole saw. No problem fitting in the beer cans & bottles. Works great! Question though... I was going to buy the water-based spar urethane to protect my gloss paint. But the paint supply guys told me that it was unnecessary if using water-based exterior gloss paint. Because it already had the UV protection, etc mixed in it. What do you think?

@jkmwoodworking 2 ай бұрын

Glad to hear the drink holders worked out! I would trust the paint supply guys more than me, I'm sure they know more about the paint. Although, just my opinion is that if it's easy enough, then I don't think it will hurt to add a few coats of the urethane. The sun is pretty brutal, and the more protection the better.

@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353 2 ай бұрын

@jkmwoodworking my same thoughts as well. Extra protection wouldn't hurt... Do you have any experience with laminated wraps?

So you apply all your coats of Spar Urethane & don't sand till before the last coat applied? No sanding in-between coats? I'm at that stage right now and just trying to get advice.

@jkmwoodworking 2 ай бұрын

I apply all of the coats without sanding between coats, and only sand before the final coat. However, it's important to put on each coat before the previous coat cures. Once the urethane cures, then you need to sand it or steel wool to rough it up a bit so the next coat will stick. If each coat is only a couple hours apart, then it will stick good to the previous not-yet-cured coat. Sorry such a wordy explanation, hope it is understandable.

@jkmwoodworking thanks...one final question, I hope, but probably not 😉...I bought Behr water-based Spar urethane. The can said I cannot use over my water-based acrylic paint? Is the Varathane spar urethane your using different? What can I use over my acrylic paint that won't yellow. I want a really smooth surface. Thank you!

@jkmwoodworking 2 ай бұрын

@@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353 Honestly, I really don't know. I would have thought that any water based urethane would work, and with minimal yellowing. I would trust the directions on the can over my experience. I'm really not an expert on spar urethane options.

Really enjoyed this video thank you. I have made boards and experienced bleeding. I like the idea of sealing but do not have a spray set up. Could I use spray shellac?

@jkmwoodworking 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! You can use spray shellac, just try to avoid the stuff that has wax added into it. "sanding sealer" shellac is what you want. You can also just brush on the shellac, would work just fine.

Thanks! The top is 1/2" plywood, which seems to play nice, but most importantly is lightweight since I wanted to move these around and be portable.

Did you thin the polyurethane before spraying?

Hi - I was wondering what size router bit you used around the hole please

@jkmwoodworking 11 ай бұрын

I used a 3/16" roundover bit. Just personal preference I think that 1/8" or 1/4" probably would be fine also.

@coreychristenson6500 Жыл бұрын

How did you line up the circle stencil so it’s even all the way around?

@jkmwoodworking Жыл бұрын

Great question, something that I cut out of the video because i thought it was getting too long. I took advantage of the outside of the stencil being square, an easier measurement reference. Measured from the edges of the cornhole board, and marked lightly with pencil on the wood where the corners of the outside square of the stencil would go. Then just carefully laid down the stencil. If you look carefully with the video starting at timestamp 15:26, you can see the pencil marks on the board at the corners of the stencil as its being pulled off.
