Hello All,
Don't know if this is frowned upon here but I thought I would quickly plug my little side business that puts a few bucks towards gas for my boat every season. I build custom cornhole boards, a popular game everywhere except California but steadily growing. Its kind of like horse shoes with bean bags. Here are some pics of my work and feel free to pm me if there is any interest in ordering a set.

One of my first sets ever for a buddy to match his flat.

Great job!

It actually is popular as hell in CA. Even right here in the city. See people at Washington Square Park playing on any sunny day.

Hello All,
Thanks for the compliments. Pricing of course on these is all dependent on what you want done, much like ordering a boat I am sure :D However, general guidelines are for up to a 3 color logo and two paint colors on the boards, (chargers boards are a good example), those run about $230 with bags. I build with cabinet grade 3/4" decks and my bags are top shelf as well so I know I am not the cheapest around but I do think in comparison to those that build to the spec I do, I am a little cheaper. I pretty much take the cost of materials and add $60 and do it as a hobby. I get to build something I like and make a few bucks instead of spending a bunch. Boards like those for my buddies flattie would be around $185 with four colors.

In regards to trademarks, yeah, those fees would be astronomical as I am sure the fines could be, that's why I really like doing sets themed for someones company using their artwork that I will not get in trouble for :D I have more photos of other projects if anyone is interested.

Those are really cool -- looks like you do a really good job. How long does it typically take to make a set of boards (and bags)? Thinking of a potential Christmas gift for my brother...

Hey River911,
That would be a really fun set to do. I can even hand deliver to Riverland in a few weeks if you are interested. PM me if you would like confirm details such as design and time frame.
Thanks,
Tom

I like to have 3 weeks after deposit to get them done, the real hang up is the polycrylic clearing process. If humidity and temp are right it doesn't dry nice and clear so it can't be forced, and with the number of coats I put on I usually need a whole weekend just for that final stage. The more lead time I have, the more fun we can have with the design too.

I absolutely hate this game! Walking down Taladega blvd a few years ago at around 11 Saturday night before the race. Was walking in flip flops with a beer in one hand and looking through my view finder of camera taking pictures and put my foot through a black painted one! Infield care unit next am and surgery as soon as I got home! At least I didn't spill my beer!

Hello All, my email of [email protected] is the best way to reach me, pretty much available all day, and at my real job most of the day so hard to take phone calls. Please let me know how I can help.

Regards,
Tom

I can add handles if customer wants, I have done on Riverbound's nesting set, and most do like a rope handle through two drilled holes, whatever people want. Not sure exactly what you want to see on the legs, here is a handy photo, but let me know if you want to see something in particular.

Tom made me the set of "Tito's" boards that are at the bottom of his posts. These boards are the best I've ever seen. Played in a fun tournament with about 12 sets of boards and none of them even came close to the quality of his boards. My buddy bought a set of Denver Bronco boards from him as well and we played on them this past weekend in San Diego. Buy a set, you won't be disappointed.

Just confirm you address and I will send you out a new set, red and black were the last one right? Good to do same as inevitably one will go missing, this way you have seven spares. Happy to take care of it. :thumbsup
