If you live around these parts and you’ve been to a tailgate, a picnic, an outdoor company party, a family reunion, or just about any outdoor party, you’ve undoubtedly seen, or played a game of Cornhole. I have to admit that I steered clear of it for the longest time, but my competitive nature eventually took over. The deal is that if you own the game, people are always calling to see if they can borrow it for their own backyard shindig. Here’s how to build your own:

What you need:
Miter or Circular Saw
Jigsaw or Band Saw
Power Drill

The regulation bag size is 6″ x6″ and is filled with whole kernal corn feed, thus the name.
Here are the full instructions and lots more photos at About.Com: Woodworking. If you want to take it to the next level, you can install round lights at the hole for nighttime play.
