Project Description
We are building a set of the game Corn Hole to be played by members of the University Cottage Club at Princeton. We will be building the two boards out of wood. Each board has two legs to stand them up and is engraved with “UCC” in addition to engraved borders around the hole at the top of each board and just inside the outer edges of each board. UCC stands for “University Cottage Club” which is the name of the eating club we are in, and we are going to donate the corn hole to the club upon its completion. The boards are painted with UCC colors – maroon, black, gold, and white- and are coated with epoxy for a nicely finished exterior. For the bags, we are going to embroider the UCC logo onto the fabric and fill and sew the bags by hand. The resulting product will be a functional corn hole game with a Cottage Club theme that can be played outside by members of the club for years to come.
The plywood was CNC’d in lab, and the base and legs of the cornhole boards were fabricated/cut by Luis and Landon. Margaret and Nick picked the boards up from Landon and put them together using corner brackets, screws, and nails. We then sanded the boards to smooth them and painted the sides, letters, and framing details in University Cottage Club colors maroon, black, and gold. After painting, the boards were coated in epoxy for a smooth coating, and the carved out letters and borders were also filled with epoxy for an even face surface on which the bean bags won’t get caught while playing. We also picked up the bean bag canvas with the embroidered logos from Landon, and we cut those fabric pieces to regulation size before sewing the bags together (both with a machine and by hand for the final closing stitches after filling) and filling them with plastic cornhole filler.
