Corn Hole

Anyone know?

 

Bump

 

Yea I figured I would scuff it up! Nothing much! Maybe just run some sand paper over it a few times! But the plexi dnt feel to slick! And I have found ones you can buy online with plexi so they must be ok!

 

Anymore input?

 

my boards are gloss polyurethane and I was worried about them being to slick. I played this weekend and it wasnt a problem at all.

once you get a little dust on them from the bags, it slides nicely

Sweet, I was afraid I would have to use Sandpaper and that is the last thing I want to do! Cause then it may mess up seeing my images!

 

you can always play a few times with them and then if its to slick, do something about it

Like what?

 

Will be finishing this tonight! Can not wait, I am enjoying the quality time with my grandpa and learning about wood and how to make stuff! I hope to post pictures tonight to!

 

Boards are drying tonight! Tomorrow we will put the plexiglass on! We have decided to use mirror brackets so that the glass can be removed easily! I will post pictures tomorrow!

 

lakers celtics will be great for 3 more games!

 

I don't really know anything about "corn holes" but i use plexiglass, backed with plywood, as an artificial ice surface. Just thought i would share that with you.

 

2x4's and 4x2 pre cut plywood sheets from lowes that have 1/4" thick birch for the faces, used some good old spray paint (sides are yellow)

def the best tailgating game ever and just overall great to play when its nice out

 

Nice board....Should have made the WV bigger!!!!!

 

We call that game "bean bags" up here... I think if you ask anyone about their "cornhole" this far north you might end up with a blackeye or a date.

 

So True, So Funny

 

i'm from the Pittsburgh area and we always called them cornhole, pretty sure we're about the same latitude. But u philly folks are very different than us haha

and to the WV guy yea i wanted to but i could only get it as big as a piece of computer paper since i used that as my stencil

 

Hmmm... Could be a Philly thing.

So FYI, when in Philly DO NOT ask to play with someones "cornhole" or make any reference towards putting ANYTHING in ANYONE's "cornhole". Doing so could be hazardous to your well being.

 

Just wanted you all to know, that the original game was played with bags filled with corn rather than sand or beanbags. They are great, if you can find them!! My grandparents make the sets. My grandpa, who is an excellent woodworker, makes the boards while my grandma makes the corn bags. For those that love the game, try playing it with Corn Bags!

Also, in refernce to the guy that used plexiglass, if the boards aren't slick enough, get some wak paper from the grocery store. Rub it on the board and it should make it a little slicker. Be carefull of overdoing it though b/c it might be too slick for some people.

 

I used Plexi and it works great!
