About Us

It was a warm sunny 4th of July Weekend in 2020.  We were in Port Austin, a small town located on Lake Huron.   The sun was hot and the drinks were cold.   The waves were hitting the beach behind us, and children’s laughter and music filled the air.  Sounds fun right!?  A challenge to a game of ‘Cornhole’ came about. We had never heard of the game, but sure, my wife and I agreed.

We were hooked instantly.  We were good at it too!  We played all day, drinking and playing this game they called ‘Cornhole.’   I knew I was going to buy a set as soon as we got home.  That’s what I did.

I searched Facebook for local builders and found a set the town over.  The pictures were gorgeous.  A vibrant US Flag painted behind the statue of liberty with fighter jets gloriously positioned above her crown.  I called, and went to pick up the set.   As I arrived, I was greeted by a young man and about 6 of his friends who were anxious to leave and clearly in a hurry to finish the transaction.  I made the mistake of throwing them in the truck and not examining my new purchase.  

After returning home and pulling the boards out of the truck it was instantly obvious I had made a mistake.  These things were JUNK.  Screws coming through the top, wood splitting, legs different lengths.  These tables were terrible.. I called and the seller agreed to return my purchase.  It was then I decided to build my own set.  With prior cabinetry experience, I knew I could build a pretty cool set of boards.  

As a veteran, the US flag means a lot to me and I decided to go with the same theme.  I made a rudimentary wood jig to paint the stars and stripes onto my boards and went to work.  I had built our first Flag set.  We had some friends over to play.  They asked me to make a few more sets and then was urged to list on Facebook Marketplace.  I thought “sure, maybe we can make a little beer money.”  Wow, were we in for a surprise.  Very quickly we were spilling out of a 2 car garage.  6 employees fighting for room..it was nuts!
