Cornhole Plans - How to Make Your Own Cornhole Set

If you enjoy playing cornhole and are a do it yourself kind of person, here is a set of simple cornhole game plans for how to make a cornhole game set, along with the plans is a list of suggested tools. We hope that you enjoy creating your own cornhole set using our simple cornhole designs. After you review these plans, you will be showing others how to make cornhole boards in no time. These plans use standard cornhole dimensions.

Miter Saw Blade

SUGGESTED TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
1 1/2" plywood sheet -4'x 8'
3 2" x 4" boards - 8' long
1 box of deck screws

Miter Saw Blade

Tape Measure
Jig saw
Drill
Circular or mitre saw
150 grit sandpaper
Step by Step Instructions

Step One

Take the 4x8 sheet of plywood and cut it into four equal sections, all 2x4. Then take one section and cut it into 4 sections that are 11 1/2" x 2'.

Step Two

Take two of the 2x4x8' boards and cut then into 4 equal lengths. They should be 3'x11 1/2". They are this size so that a riser can be added later on to tilt your finished board.

Step Three

Next take each of the 3'x11 1/2" boards and attach then with deck screws to each of the long sides of the platforms. Leave a 1/2" gap at the end you want to be the top of the game board.

Step Four

Measure between the side rail boards for the exact measurement for the top and bottom rails on each platform, then cut the remaining 2 x 4 to match those measurements. Then attach those cut pieces, on edge,with deck screws through the side pieces.

Step Five

Set the platform on the ground, right side up. You are about to find the cornhole position so, go to the top of the board. That is the end that does not have a rail. Find the center of the cornhole by measuring 9" from the top, then 12" from each of the sides. This will give you the dead nuts center of the cornhole. Now use a compass or a nail with a 3" piece of string attached to it and a pencil to draw a complete circle. After drawing the circle drill a hole in the center that is large enough to insert the blade of your jigsaw. Begin cutting out the circle you drew. After cutting out the hole then use the sandpaper to smooth out the edges.

Step Six

Now take one of the 11 1/2" x 2' boards and attach it above the cornhole. It will fit into that 1/2" gap and be affixed with deck screws to the side boards.

You are now ready to play cornhole. If you want to paint the boards we recommend that you use a primer and then gloss enamel. If you use outdoor/house paint the paint job should last as long as your boards.

If you want to make your own cornhole bags, please check out the article I have written and posted on this site. It is a detailed instructional on how to sew them yourself. It is a lot easier to buy your set and bags, but I hope the do-it-yourself people out there are able to use these instructions.

How To Cut And Polish Granite?

The Greeks were the first to use stones to make homes. The procedure of acquiring natural stone has not changed much since then. In modern days too big blocks of stone are cut from the mines and then sold in thin pieces or slabs. After buying these slabs, they are polished and shaped according to usage. For the granite stone too this process is followed.

Miter Saw Blade

Over the years the main method has remained the same but to perform the steps the type of machineries used has changed drastically. Science has transformed the old machines into much more effective and time saving types. Three basic machines are used in granite fabrication. These are saws, polishers and routers.

Miter Saw Blade

Saws

Block saw or gang saw cuts the stone blocks into slabs. Nowadays diamond wire saw is used for cutting. The machine has a wire and on the wire a commercial diamond is fixed. Diamond itself is the hardest stone. So it makes the job much quicker. Then a bridge saw is used to give the slabs proper size.

Polishers

Polishers are used to make the surface of the granite smooth. Polishers make the surface of the granite mirror like. An abrasive material is attached with the rotating pads of the polisher. The surface of the material varies according to purpose. The smoothness of the polishing increases with the fineness of the abrasive material.

Routers

Routers are used to create designs on the slab surface. There are various edges that are used in the router to create different designs. Router has a spinning blade fixed with diamonds to cut and create the required designs.

How Much Will My Laminate Flooring Cost?

The costs for installing laminate flooring in an average kitchen 10 feet by 10 feet can range anywhere from 0 to 00. This depends on the type of laminate flooring you choose to install in your kitchen. The prices range differently depending on the glued laminate flooring, floating flooring, or the glueless laminate flooring. When you install laminate floors in your kitchen you will need many different tools.

Miter Saw Blade

If you decide on the floating laminate floors you won't need as many tools and this type of flooring is easier to install. However, the glueless laminate floors and the glued laminate floors require many tools if you want to do the job right. Before you install laminate flooring in your kitchen you need to prepare your kitchen floor for the job. The tools required for this include a pry bar to remove the shoe molding and trim, a level to verify the high and low spots on the floor, a cold chisel so you can pull up the old flooring, and a ball-peen hammer will be used to hit the chisel. You will need to use a putty knife for the prep work and a floor scraper to remove the entire previous residue from the floor.

Miter Saw Blade

If you have a wood sub-floor then you will need a belt sander to smooth the surface. You might need to rent a jamb saw if you don't want to purchase one also. The jamb saw will be used to cut the door jamb and other trimmings so you have enough clearance for the flooring. A trowel will be used to smooth the leveling compound. The tools for preparation should cost you less than 0, including the cost for renting the saw. You will need many tools for the installation of the kitchen laminate flooring also. These tools include a backsaw and a miter box for cutting angles in the flooring. A circular saw is for straight cuts with a carbide tipped blade and a saber saw with a laminate blade will be used for cutting curves. You can rent saws from hardware stores if you do not want to purchase them for around to a day. The basic tools you will need for the installation of your laminate flooring in the kitchen will run you under 0.

You will need an electric drill, tape measure, marker, utility knife, screwdriver, coping saw, hacksaw, nails, claw hammer, caulking gun, clamp, straps, pull bar, spacers, and a tapping block. If you don't want to purchase each individual tool for installing laminate floors you can find laminate floor installation kits which include all of the tools you will need to complete the job from 0 to 0. The kits make it easier so you don't have to purchase each individual item but they are relatively more expensive than you will actually spend if you purchase the tools separately.

You will also need to purchase glue if you are using glued laminate flooring. Since you are considering putting laminate flooring in your kitchen you should use glue on glueless laminate flooring also. The glue will provide extra sealant in areas where the refrigerator or the dishwasher are and prevent less damage due to moisture or leaking from these appliances. The more protection you can provide on the kitchen floor with the glue and sealant, the longer your floors will last. The glue and the sealants should cost you around for your kitchen floor. Laminate flooring can cost you from .65 to .00 per square foot depending on the type of flooring you would like to install in your kitchen. For an average kitchen size of 100 square feet you will be looking at spending from 0 to 0 depending on if you would like the glueless planks or the glued laminate flooring. It will also depend on the quality of the laminate and the protection on the flooring.

You will also need to purchase a roll of underlay which will be placed under the laminate flooring. Underlay averages around .30 per square foot or for a roll of 100 square feet. It is important to remember that you will need to purchase at least 10 additional square feet of materials. Do not purchase the underlay and flooring for your exact floor size because you will make mistakes and need extra flooring. Installing laminate flooring in your kitchen will cost you around 0 to 00 depending on the flooring you decide upon and the actual sizes of your kitchen. You can purchase the tools separately or find kits that include all of the tools you need.

When you are laying laminate flooring in a kitchen, you should really think about choosing the higher end flooring because of the protection offered. A kitchen area is known to have mold issues near the sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator because of the moisture that comes with these appliances. It is better to lay the protected flooring so you don't find yourself having to repair or replace the flooring from moisture issues.

Ipe Hardwood Floors: Awesome or Not?

If you know anything about Ipe hardwood, it is truly an amazing wood. It has a Janka rating of over 3600, making it one of the densest woods that are currently available on the hardwood flooring market. Ipe has a lot of very positive characteristics, but it also has its issues!

Miter Saw Blade

It is so dense that with even a marginal finish applied to the surface, most spills will pool on the top rather than penetrate below. And it survives the abuse from the even a 100 pound sheep dog with limited wear marks.

Miter Saw Blade

Ipe Hardwood Flooring is referred to by many names depending on the country of origin and who is making the flooring. Brand names like Ironwood(TM) and Pau Lope(TM) are common as are "consumer names" like Brazilian Walnut. For some reason, North American retailers think referring to it as a walnut will make it more understandable to today's consumers.

Ipe is really a cluster of many trees from the Bignoniaceae family (Tabebuia, spp) that share a common appearance and physical characteristics. They are all dense and rather straight grained. Some pieces look quite similar to teak. It is very resistant to decay, termite and dry insect attack, although this is not significant (I hope) when choosing ipe as interior flooring. It is VERY fire resistant as well.

Colour range varies from a medium straw with olive green overtones to a reddish brown with darker black streaks common in some boxes of ipe hardwood. Flooring samples can then have a very large range of colours. Make sure that you understand this, and don't buy, expecting colour uniformity. It is always best, if possible to visit a customer that has had this type of flooring in use for a number of years. You can then judge not only the appeal of the colouring but also the durability of the finish.

For installation it will require a very good quality grade of carbide blade on your miter saw to even attempt any trimming to length. If you have a large expanse of ipe flooring to cover, a second blade made be necessary. All holes, like those that you need to install for the first few rows of flooring will have to be drilled close to the size of the finishing nail you intend to use, otherwise you will split the wood. Experiment first, to save a few pieces of ipe flooring.

About this Thin Kerf Crosscutting Saw Blade
This blade gives new life to underpowered saws and produces smooth crosscuts in hardwoods, softwoods and moldings. Coated blades pull 1/3 less on the saw, which translates into 33-percent more cutting power. This thin kerf blade removes less material than standard carbide blades, thus requiring less horsepower to produce equally good results. The "fusion" tooth design gives glass smooth side finishes as well as a chip-free top and bottom during both ripping and crosscutting applications. Perma-Shield permanent non-stick coating reduces friction, protecting this thin kerf saw blade against corrosion, gumming and pitch build-up. With laser-cut construction made from high-strength steel, this blade is built for long life and precision. Pre-tensioning assures that the blade will remain flat through the shocks from cutting and stresses from turning at high speeds, and its anti-vibration reed design eliminates all vibration and produces the cleanest cuts possible, making the use of a stabilizer unnecessary.

Applications
This exceptional blade rips and crosscuts wood, chip board, plywood, and laminate -- but it is not recommended for ferrous metals or masonry. This blade is ideal for crosscutting with a fine finish, while using an underpowered saw.

Warranty
This blade is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

Learn the Basics of Electrode Selection and What the Numbers Mean

All electrodes are classified in five basic groups.

Miter Saw Blade

And they are

Miter Saw Blade

1. mild steel
2. high-carbon steel
3. special alloy steel
4. cast iron and
5. nonferrous metal like aluminum.

Electrodes are made for use in specific positions and on many types of metals. They are designed for AC welders and DC welders. You will learn the basic of these electrodes today so keep reading.

The electrodes are classified by a symbol such as E-6010, E-7010, or E-8010 for example. The E identifies the electrode to be used for electric arc welding only. The two digits after E designate the allowable tensile strength per square inch. So if you have E-7010 it will mean 70,000 pounds per square inch that the weld will hold. Now that's a strong weld my friend. O.k. then what about the last two numbers. The third digit indicates the joint position needed for this electrode, so there will be two numbers that you will see, a 1 and a 2. The 1 will mean any position, so go a head and do some vertical up welds, over the head welds, it does not matter, it will do a great job. Now the 2 will mean you will be restricted on the positions and here they are. Horizontal or flat only, blah is that all it does? Yes so make sure you look for the 1 if you want a good all position electrode.

Now for the last number. This number will tell you all the special characteristics and they are all different by the manufacture so make sure you look on the box or ask a welder salesman at a welding store that sells this kind of stuff. The numbers range 1-8 just to let you know. Let me know if there is a special welding topic you want me to write about? I will be glad to. See you next time.

Preparing Your Pressure Washer For the Cold Winter Months

Now that you have purchased and enjoyed your pressure washer during the warm months, it's time to get ready for the cold winter months. If you live in an areas where the temperature never goes below freezing you may not need to do anything, but check your owner manual for yearly maintenance. Taking care of your pressure washer before the cold sets in will save you time and money in the spring.

Miter Saw Blade

Most pressure washer parts are made of plastic, brass or aluminum and each of these materials are soft and will break as water is left inside and freezes. Even though you may have not used the pressure washer in a while it still may contain water behind valves that may freeze and break the unit.

Miter Saw Blade

The following is a basic list of steps to take with your washer to prepare it for the winter months. Always check with your owner's manual for specific information about winter storage.

1. Disconnect the wand and hold the valve open and turn upside down; blowing air from a portable air compressor through the wand will insure that the wand has no water in it. In some pressure washers the wand cannot be removed from the hose, if you have one of these skip to # 2.

2. Remove the hose from the unit and drain all the water from it, use an air compressor to blow air through the hose if you have one. Coil the hose up and tie it in a small circle and hang it up on a wall or put on a shelf to store.

3. Look in your manual or on the bottom of the pump see if it has a drain plug for the water chamber, make sure your have the right drain plug, some unit have oil to cool and lubricate the pump. Once you have taking out the drain plug make sure the unit it unplugged and turn the pump or motor a couple of time to make sure all of the water is out of the pump chamber. The pump may turn hard and it may take two people to do this step. Store the plug somewhere safe and don't put it back in the pump, this will insure that no water will collect in the bottom of the pump.

4. If you have a soap or cleaning agent dispenser remove all the liquid and rinse out the container with water, put the liquid soap in a storage bottle and store it in the house to be used next year.

5. Now I recommend covering the unit with a small tarp or a heavy garbage bag to keep the dirt and dust off the unit. If you store it outside make sure you use a tarp and tie it on very well or us a couple of bungee cords. Make sure to store you pressure washer by itself and do not stack thing on top of it.

6. Now some unit have a built in hot water heater, use the same steps in #3 to drain the water from the heating chamber.

If you decide to use your pressure washer during the winter, don't forget to go through these steps again to make sure there is no water in the unit that can freeze and cost you big time repairs. Even if you have a heated garage or storage unit I still recommend preparing your unit for winter. A little work now and some tender care of your pressure washer will ensure years of care free use and saving in time and money. If you have any question always check with the manufacture of your pressure washer they want you to be a happy customer.

How to Install Iron Or Metal Balusters in Wood Handrails

As promised I am putting forward information on the installation of iron balusters. During the day, one of the most common questions I get from customers is the how to of iron baluster installation.

Miter Saw Blade

Many building codes require three balusters on a tread to comply with the 4" sphere rule. Check with your local code officials if you have any doubts about your stair's compliance.

Miter Saw Blade

First, I let the customer know that the very last thing in balustrade installation is the iron balusters. It simply works well to install the newel posts, handrail, treads and risers first. Once installed layout the balusters on the floor and use a level to plumb up to the handrail center and mark the connection at the center bottom of the handrail. Using a ½" paddle or spade bit one can drill upward 1" deep into the handrail. Using a 5/8" paddle bit drill a hole no more than ¼" deep into the floor. Once these are drilled out the bottom of the handrail can be sanded with an orbital sander and the complete balustrade system can be stained and finished. Once the stain and finish is completed one can begin installing the iron balusters.

One of the following two tools is recommended for cutting iron or metal balusters: a power miter box with a metal cutting blade, or a portable band saw. My preference is the portable band saw. It works cleaner, is more portable, and doesn't cause sparking as does the power miter box (or chop saw).

Turn the baluster upside down and set the round dowel top into the hole in the floor, holding the baluster plumb to the hole under the handrail. Mark the baluster with a pencil, measure up 3/8" minimum and that would be the cut mark. Note that you are cutting off the bottom, not the top, of the baluster. This ensures proper alignment of the design elements.

For gluing the installer has two options: Epoxy or construction adhesive. My personal preference is construction adhesive as I have more control over the product and, if it gets messy, wipes away easily and can also serve as a caulk around the iron. Epoxy comes in the mixing tubes and doesn't always mix properly. If it gets messy and dried, removing the epoxy also removes the powder coating on the iron. Some carpenters prefer and have their own control over epoxy. I do not. I find construction adhesives easier to work with.

Squeeze a small amount of the adhesive into the hole under the handrail. The adhesive is thick and slow and will not drain back out, giving time to complete the installation. Make sure the shoe for the iron baluster is slid up while installing. Push baluster's round dowel up into the ½" hole under the handrail and then drop it into the 5/8" hole in the floor in a bed of additional construction adhesive. Square off the baluster's alignment then drop the shoe down to the floor. If the shoe comes with a set screw, use an Allen wrench to tighten it. The glue in the handrail hole will settle around the baluster creating a perfect seal. Once the glue has dried the baluster will be well secured, even helping to strengthen the handrails load.

When installing 5/8" iron balusters the process is identical, one only needs to drill a 5/8" hole under the handrail and a ¾" hole at the floor. 5/8" iron is ideal in remodeling work, when replacing wood balusters. Most installed wood balusters have a 5/8" hole under the handrail and a ¾" hole at the floor. If replacing wood balusters with ½" iron it is usually recommended to install shoes under the handrail to cover a small square peg in a larger round hole. The use of wood or cabinet screws helps to lock the baluster in, serving as both a wedge and forcing the baluster on center.

Round 5/8" iron or metal balusters can be installed without shoes simply by drilling a 5/8" hole into the handrail and into the floor and following the same procedure outlined above.

I have been asked about making the holes square. It is possible with a little more work. To cut the square hole in the floor or handrail, drill a round hole in the wood the same size at the baluster's overall width. Then chisel out the hole to make it square. Another option is a "mortising bit." I have not used one of these but have spoken with carpenters who have. Their comment tends to be that this method is a "pain in the you know what."

Is a Snow Plow Better Than a Snow Blower?

Which is better a snow plow or a snow blower? That is the question many people ask when it comes time to remove snow from sidewalks and driveways. Snow removal is a common event in most parts of the world. You prepare for it and come up with ways to quickly remove snow so you can get on with your life. Everyone at one time or another has had to shovel their way out. And it only takes one time to realize that using a snow plow or snow blower is faster. But which one is better? Let us compare...

Miter Saw Blade

A snowplow is a blade that is attached to the front of a vehicle that pushes snow to the side or straight ahead. There isn't a whole lot to snow plows. A mount is attached to the front of a vehicle and the blade is attached to the mount. The blade has safety trips in case it hits a curb or stump or any solid object. This allows the blade to bounce over or around the object without damaging the blade. Using a snow plow can be very quick, little maintenance, simple push the snow out of the way and you are done.

Miter Saw Blade

A snow blower or snow thrower is a machine that picks up snow and throws it out of the way. Instead of just pushing the snow to the side it actually tosses the snow a distance away. No threat of the snow just falling back down behind you or creating large piles of snow. Snow blowers can be a stand alone machine or attached to a vehicle. Greater maintenance is required and because there are moving parts possibility of break downs can occur.

So which is better a snow plow or a snow blower? That is up to you. Each has its' own benefit and downside, but it comes down to personal preference and how much time and money you want to spend. Either one is a lot better and faster than shoveling.
