Rex Edgar Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 A friend wants me to build him a cornhole set. He wants the wood to show and a nice finish. I trimmed some 1/2” good quality ply board with cherry and milled some 2x4s down to about 1’25” x 2.50”. It makes for a heavy and awkward carry. I want to add grips, but I’ve already assembled the tops and frames. I don’t want handles that add to the width, so I want to rout a hand grip in the sides. Access to the free side is no worry, but how would you recommend that I smooth the inside portion of the grip? My handle consists of four holes drilled/routed in a small arc that will accommodate a hand grip. I’m thinking a Dremel with a sanding drum, but I’m not sure that I can get a uniform finish with that on the inside of the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 What is mentioned above is a good way to go. Mentioning the Dremel leads me to believe that you don't have a spindle sander. You used to be able to find in some hardware stores a sanding drum that was made to be chucked up in a drill press or standard drill motor. These were longer then what you would have for your Dremel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
