Very nice! The dovetails & inlays look sweet!
How long did that take to design and build?

 

[mikelphone]

Not woodworking, but when I can find time I'll dabble.
This was my last job, the rest of the master washroom is still under construction.

The chip cabinet took 3 months bc I was doing it a little at a time at a community woodshop in Boulder. I did the shuffletech cabinet over a long 3 day weekend at my dad’s shop.

Some random projects I've done... I've been building clocks for members of my family. here's some examples

Built this light up sign for my basement

Built this desk while working from home at the start of covid

Frame I made for my mom - her dad is in the backseat of the plane

Hockey stick projects

I've made some arcade machines, videos of them on my youtube page.

Damn you. Now I need to build a nintendo arcade machine.

Sorry in advance to my wife.

@Richard Cranium the recycled hockey stick frame and table are awesome, I have to say. Wish I was this handy, my broken sticks just go in the trash.

Wood sticks are harder and harder to find these days. Here's another one I made for Holtby's save in the final.

I made a new door stopper today, made sure it has a pad and everything…

Just finished this cutting board for a friends new house. Kind of want to keep it...

Haven't made anything really fun & complex in a while, just haven't had the time to get out all the tools. Latest project was a simple frame for the basement / card room.

This is awesome

Simple but fun project over the memorial day weekend - cornhole boards.

This thread is disgusting to a guy who can't cut a straight line with a circular saw

I'm nowhere near as smick as some of you guys in here but love working wood, couple of things i needed

The boards came out amazing @Irish ! Great detail and the level on the back of each board is such an awesome touch.

Couple questions:
- What is the additional board in picture 3 with lots of small holes attached to the inside of the board?
- How did you do the logo sizing and transfer?
- Did you use 2 clips on each side of the boards for when you attach them together or a hinge type attachment on one side?

What is the additional board in picture 3 with lots of small holes attached to the inside of the board?

Its a support, the small holes in it is how it is attached to the platform, it likely also assists in prevent it from warping, the 'anchors' for that go into the frame horizontally, you can see if you look close.

The frame pieces were all leftovers from another project. I had built my oldest son a nice loft bed & bookcase when he was little:

But once he hit like 15 he needed more overhead clearance, so I cut everything down to more normal height frame, removed the railing and happened to save the wood. So, being the cheap bastard resourceful dude I am, I re-purposed the leftovers for this project to save a few bucks as wood is crazy expensive these days. I had *almost* enough longer pieces for the 4' sides, but was like 8" short on one piece, so I spliced it and that inside piece with all the screws is the splice plate joining the two pieces. The frame is inset about an inch from the edge of the plywood, so you really can't see much of the frame when you're playing, especially on the low end.

- How did you do the logo sizing and transfer?

It's a vinyl decal I purchased online, they size them so they're ~20" wide to fit on a 24" board. They come on a sheet with front/backing paper, you center it, tape it down in the middle, peel off the back of half, secure it down / squeegee it with a credit card to make it smooth, repeat for the other side and then remove the front backing paper. More info here: https://customcorntoss.com/apply-cornhole-decals/

- Did you use 2 clips on each side of the boards for when you attach them together or a hinge type attachment on one side?

One side has a pair of slip hinges (see pic above), the other side a pair of latches. This way you can unlatch it, open it up like a coffin and toss in the bags for storage / transportation (though with both boards together it's fairly heavy / bulky)

Awesome. Thanks for the responses. I'm a huge proponent of re-using/re-purposing old projects into new projects.

Looks great! There's so many different options for cornhole boards - these turned out amazing!

We build tons of boards for our ACL leagues near me - Did you polycrylic over the top of the decal? We have some people do a direct print to the wood itself which is definitely the best but for vinyl I'll use a polycrylic because a traditional polyurethane tends to yellow over time (and you don't want the vinyl to peel) - I did the same thing with that farmhouse sign if you want to take a look at the finish! Just a few coats with sanding in between is great playing surface for cornhole too! I think I've seen people use a lacquer before but the bags don't slide quite the same on that

We'll use 1x3s for frame + legs with a cross brace between the legs so they move as a single unit. 3/4in plywood for surface, 1/4in rounded routing around surface too - same pocket hole construction!

Nice! Yep, polycrylic finish for the plywood (5 coats I think), after reading around a bit that seemed to be the best option. Though I will say that the main decal really absorbed the poly, such that there are a few very minor scratches on the graphic from when I sanded after the first coat (and I went crazy light in that area). The decal area feels slightly less slick, I'm hoping that's just the poly continuing to cure but we'll see, as long as the weather holds up we'll probably test it out this weekend.

These look great! One suggestion I would make, which is pretty standard-fare on competition boards, is to radius the corners so they are a little less pointy.
