Kevin O'Connor heads to the shop where general contractor Tom Silva shows him how to build regulation cornhole boards. Starting with a few pieces of kiln-dried lumber and some interior plywood, Tom shows Kevin how to cut the front, back, and sides to regulate width and length. They then attach the plywood to the base, add legs, and cover the entire project with a finish and a pretty neat decal!

Difficulty: ⅖
Time: One day to build, two days to finish
Cost: Under $100
