How do I make a cornhole board?
Materials:
- Two sheets of 3/4-inch plywood (4 feet by 8 feet)
- Two 2x4s (8 feet long)
- 1x4 pine board (8 feet long)
- 3-inch wood screws
- 1-inch wood screws
- Wood glue
- Sandpaper
- Cornhole bags (4 sets)
Instructions:
- Cut the plywood: Cut two pieces of plywood to 2 feet by 4 feet.
- Cut the 2x4s: Cut four pieces of 2x4 to 2 feet long.
- Attach the 2x4s: Glue and screw the 2x4s along the long edges of the plywood, flush with the top surface.
- Cut the 1x4: Cut four pieces of 1x4 to 2 feet long.
- Attach the 1x4s: Glue and screw the 1x4s perpendicular to the 2x4s, 12 inches from the front edge of the board. These will create the lip that the bags will land on.
