Building a cornhole set (a bean bag toss game)

I learned from my step-sister, Cara, that the bean bag toss game we see when we tailgate is called a cornhole.  Not the term I expected, but it comes from the fact that the classic bean bags are filled with corn (often feed corn).


I have begun building a the ramps you play with (and will likely purchase the bags).  My wife and daughter will be painting the New England Patriots logo on the game set.


I am using the instructions at This Old House.  I like This Old House and I liked that they suggested a handle for easy carrying.
