            Last post I decided to give a brief explanation on one of my favorite past time activities, Cornhole. A couple weeks ago I accepted the challenge from my wife to make our family a couple boards of our own. At first I was hesitant; I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. I first thought I would look into purchasing a set but when I start Googling the prices I was flabbergasted. The price for a plain set of boards was upwards of $100. I said that if I was going to spend that kind of money I would build my own.

            To start myself off, I created a list of things I was going to either need or buy. The list looked something like this:

·      Palm sander

·      Wood filler

·      Paint

·      Tape

·      Brushes

·      (4) 2x4’s

·      ½” plywood

·      Tape measure

·      Skill saw

·      Safety glasses

·      5/8” screw

·      2” screw

·      Pencil

·      Polyurethane

After acquiring everything from my list I began to measure and cut and saw and before I knew it, I had made my family a couple really nice Cornhole boards. It was a really fun experience and I learned a lot from tackling it myself. We look forward to many summer evenings barbecuing and tossing some beanbags.
