Cornhole Board Building
Hey all,
I build cornhole boards, I started last year as a gift for my father in law and it has taken off since then, I’m at about 35 sets sold in 10 months. The cornhole league I play in currently has 1/2” boards with 1x material frames Brad nailed through the top. I will be building 3/4” boards with 2x material frames that I pocket screw from the bottom. I was asked if I could make it so the tops come off in case they want to switch designs easier for new sponsored logos etc. Normally I glue before I pocket screw, if I were to screw only so they can come off/be switched in the future, do we think the glue helps eliminate bounce at all by keeping the board adhered between screw holes? I usually do 5 screws on the 4’ sides, 4 screws on the 2’ and 3 on cross braces (plus 2 screws attaching the frame pieces together at all intersections). I know that my build will already be an upgrade because of the thicker materials, but I want to make sure if my name is on something it comes out great and I’ve never not glued a top on.
