Hello group. I'm Larry the cornhole gameboard guy....FACEBOOK page is the same name.

Website pending 'www.larrythecornholeboardguy.com

Started making coenhole game boars last May.....now have over 400 holes ( 6 inches)

what do I do with them?

 

[Jim Russell]

Respectfully,

What, exactly, is a coenhole game boars? For that matter, what is a cornhole gameboard? I have never heard of either.

[Robert Brennan]

Hello Jim,

The same perplexing question was on my mind also. 

So not wanting to be too ignorant of USA customs, I decided to look it up on the internet, as this was not the first time members displayed their work, and this my idle curiosity got to me.

So,

its a game where you try to throw a bean bag through the hole you see in the boards, not sure how much of a following it has but there you go.

Must be something of a cult as there are many corn hole  pictures displayed.

Regards

Robert Brennan

P.S. Something to check out amoungst the many varied works displayed !!

To Robert and Jim,

When I was a kid growing up it was called a bean bag game and we used to play it a lot at birthday parties. Each of the holes had different point values, and the kid who had the most points at the end of a certain time period would win a prize.

I don't think the discussion about the game itself was the intent but the skills in making the game boards which does takes some woodworking skills. 

[Jim Russell]

Thank you, Roger

Good point!

Have a great day!

Jim, The cornhole gameboards I make useing a kreg jig do not have multiple holes for different points nor is it used in a "timed" game so I speak of a different WOODWORKING  PROJECT  than Michael is speaking of. Googling an item often enlightens ones' intelligent level in relation to a place, time or item.  My suggestion to you would be to google " history o the cornhole game"  I don't understand your phrase "heading back toward a positie exchange...." if you are interested in my experience useing the kreg jig in woodworking please let me know. I have had over 50 years experience.

Possibly my post was not understood. Not being from the Midwest or East, I am unaware of any adult game where bean bags are thrown at ANYTHING. Googling a particular subject neither changes my personal experiences, nor makes it an adult pastime. As Michael Moldenhauer said, in an earlier post, "When I was a kid growing up it was called a bean bag game and we used to play it a lot at birthday parties. Each of the holes had different point values, and the kid who had the most points at the end of a certain time period would win a prize."

This, too, is my experience with bean bag toss.

If it is, in deed, a "drinking game", as one suggested, it would not be the first time human behavior was influenced by alcohol.

  I am amazed at the responses about an apparently modified beanbag toss (A child's game and carnival attraction) on a woodworker's support page.

How about heading back toward a positive exchange of woodworking ideas, and jig applications (The adult thing to do)

[Larry . Cockman]

You are correct , Roger. Did he think I was trying to teach him how to play the game? NOT

Like David, my preference is that we don't flame, insult, or be sarcastic to one another.  I think we're all here to learn a little and help each other out.

Thank you Jim, I was forced to remove a few of the posts. Let's please stay on topic, and stay personable, gentlemen. ;)
