Bean Bag Games (aka Cornhole)

Nice commission!

no orders yet, but I will be following up with the park district right after the new year.

Those look great! I’ve made a few sets of cornhole boards, and I’ve been wanting to make myself a set for a long time. I’ve toyed with the idea of latching them together for storage like you’ve done. I hope you don’t mind if I use your idea or some variation of it. If I ever get around to making them I’ll post some pictures and give you the credit for the latches.

Thanks, go for it!

One thing I would do different is to recess the latches so there wouldn’t be the possibility of one of the bags catching on one.

Very cool. Sounds like a family tradition for years to come.

Good project!

Now I have a mental image of you trying to drill that 6” hole with a drill, thinking “There has to be a better way.” :-)

What do you do with them? We have no similar game up here in Canada.
I found the name a bit fetching.

There must be a vast difference obviously in the cultures.

Why don’t you call it Bean hole?

Hi Bob,

the bags are often filled with corn, and the object is to throw it in the hole.

the name is a bit interesting.

I sent you links to the rules.

as a rule ive always avoided any games that include the word cornhole ! however it sounds pretty cool lol

I don’t even want to get started with the possibilities of a game called cornhole. It’s got to be a Northern type game – and they tell me that you guys from up North won the first war :-)) Before anybody gets mad – I’m just funning you guys.

Great job. Looks like fun. I was going to say for kids. But no one who has replied is a kid (in age) anymore.
