Hi all,

I just bought a track saw and decided to do a quick plywood project to get to know it. For those of you who don't know, cornhole is a lawn game that involves throwing bean or corn filled bags at boards with a hole in them. The standard boards are pretty boxy and heavy so I did a redesign. Take a look and let me know what you think! Also looking for feedback on the build plans.

They look great and just in time I might add.

I was going to look for plans today.

Want to make a set for when the kids visit over the Summer.

Thanks for posting.
 
Very nice take!  Funny you posted this.  My adult aged daughter was just asking me if I could help her make some. 
PS What are the dimensions including hole size and placement?

Thank you Jim! I posted a link that has the technical drawing. The hole size is 6 inches.

Did you calculate how much wood needed to be removed to make the bend or just wing it?

I used a test piece and did the math backwards to determine angle and bend radius. There is also an online calculator that I found out about after I made them (of course!).

Thank you! Hopefully the plans help out! Not sure if they are more simple than a standard build.
 
Nicely done, had a lot of fun one night when were visiting friends across the pond. We had too much beer, too much bbq and a lot of fun with the cornhole, even though I had double vision!  [big grin]
