I've been selling them 20 each or 3 for 50, but it will depend on your local market.

Thanks, Jason. Working on an update video with some new designs right now!

Thanks for the comment, but that's actually not correct. Brad nails are thinner on one side than the other, kind of like a 2x4, and that thin side is oriented so that it comes out of the gun much more likely to bend to the left or right of the gun, as opposed to along the same direction (forward or back). Of course, things like wood grain direction and knots will affect things, but in general, you should nail perpendicular to the board you're driving into. That way, if the nail flexes left or right of the gun, it's far less likely to come out the side of the bottom board because it would need to flex forward or back along the thicker profile to do so. I've thought about making a video about this, but haven't because both Brad Rodriguez at Fix this Build That and the Honest Carpenter have already done comprehensive videos on it. Maybe I'll do one anyway, or maybe I'll mention it in the follow up video I'm working on to this one right now.

Thanks, Bill. I hope to put out an update video in next few days with some new designs too.

20 each or 3 for 50. But that's really going to depend on your market.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking That's what I had in mind. thanks! I live in Az

That's the Microjig Grr-Ripper Pushblock. It's awesome. In fact, I have a couple of them. I added an Amazon affiliate link to it in the video description for you.

Thanks Andrew! I'm going to put out an update video soon on some new designs for these.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

You mean the formula?

I just checked. It's 4.5 inches, about .5 less than the fence, but not by any specific design. It was just an offcut piece of 1/2" plywood I had in my scrap bin at the time that was around the right size.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate the help

No problem, glad you liked it! I'm going to do a follow up video in a few weeks with some new designs.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking Nice, Looking forward to it!

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

I did after a while, and it was perfect. I would expect no less from an expensive tool. I've been using table saws long enough that I would have known after a couple of cuts if it was off.

Thanks, Ed!

I'm not sure what you mean. A CNC is just an automated router that runs on a Gcode file. The Gcode file is generated by CAM software from a design file created in some kind of CAD software. So, every CNC requires software to generate the code to run it. At the time I made this, I was using Fusion360. Now I use Vectric VCarve, but there are a lot of different software brands and types that do this.

Yes! These are perfect for all that scrap! That also gives them a very high profit margin since you're not paying for materials, especially once you get better and faster at making them. Make sure you watch my videos on the assembly jig and Star Templates I make for these crosses, they are game changers in batching them out. I also have a video on the bottle openers that are also made with the scraps from flags, so check that out too.

Yeah it's definitely too heavy for 2 people. That's how I originally tried it, with 2 big dudes in their 40s, and we couldn't do it without causing damage. Glad you got it sorted out. Hopefully the rest of the assembly went well.

Thanks Tony. Good point about the push stick. I know that now, but didn't consider it then. I'm actually quite fond of it now, though I use a micro jig gripper more often than a push stick. I don't remember the OCD context from this video and maybe I mischaracterized it a bit, but I deal with it in a lot of other ways like being adamant about the exact positioning and location of things, counting in my head to a very specific number (25) for every little thing I do (steps walking, sanding strokes or buffing circles, counting down time, organizing things by amount, etc.), among other ways.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking Got the PCS 1.75 assembled & "tuned". Oddly, my tables all lined up pretty close to perfectly. I just snugged the bolts and tapped with a mallet in the places that needed tweaking. Didn't have to do the mod on the end wing adjustment screw. Biggest challenge was getting it off its side and onto the mobile base. Used a combination of Straps, Farm Jack (Hi-lift), and finally, some 2x4's as levers. Thanks Archimedes, LOL. Ironically, I sprained one of my fingers pretty badly trying to lift the saw enough to get the strap under it. So the saw I bought to protect my fingers...*sigh*. There's just no winning. Now I have to convert the miter bars on all of my (many) jigs & fixtures to fit the new saw.

I made a few others as well, like an owl and frankenstein. The frankenstein was the three most popular of them all. I'll probably do a follow up video on those soon.

If you ever need any CNC work let me know. Thanks, John

I recently got a dedicated dust collector and will will be seeing it up and doing a video on it soon. Before that I used the rolling cart from a couple videos ago. It worked, but not great. I'll try to show the before and after set ups in the new video.

It's been great for me for about a year now. I will eventually upgrade to a more expensive one though.

What eventually you gonna get? Im after one of those, they vary from 190 euro to 240 euro which ia Maxxt, next one is 3m which ia like double the price and then even more expensive Mirka... ​@@maverickdesignswoodworking

I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to the proportions being correct. Since I use 1" laser cut stars, I need the three stripes to be 1.5 inches. At 5.5", your stars would need to be 1.5".

Interesting. I never considered that. Thanks for the info.

Definitely. It's been a huge improvement.

Thank you, and you're absolutely welcome!

Thanks Kenny. I'm glad you found them helpful.

Thanks Dave!

The union for this flag is 4-3/8 x 6-3/16. I use a flag dimensions calculator that's free. Here's the link: www.inchcalculator.com/american-flag-size-proportions-calculator/ Just type in 8.125 for the width (hoist) and hit calculate, and it will give you all the recommended dimensions for a flag this size. Hope that helps.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking thank you sir for responding so quickly, have a blessed day and how much are your flag template,they are beautiful and look like it would takeoff a lot of time making these. I love my America 🇺🇸 I spent 20 years in the Army National Guard in Georgia, and got my veteran status in the Gulf War during Kuwait and Iraq.GodBless you and your family and friends.

Thanks David. I've spent time in Kuwait and Iraq myself. I haven't designed a template for this size yet, but I will. I'm currently on vacation for the next couple weeks, but I'll work on that a soon as I get back. Email me at maverickdesignswoodworking@gmail.com and I'll send you the details and let you know when it's ready.

Yup, I know what you mean!

I basically said the same in this review. Not only is it a very good saw, but the blade that came with it was quite impressive. My only real negatives were the inability to take a dado stack and the extension lock that quit working.

Watch the part 2 to this video. Basically, I tell you to use the solid stain instead of the semi transparent and compare the two. The solid works great, just like the original formula.

Thank you!

Thanks so much, Robert. I'm really glad you like them. I forgot that you had the star template already. I just used it for the first time a couple days ago to film this video. I had great results with it as well, otherwise I wouldn't have released this video, lol. It really shines for the bigger flags, as it reduces the amount of time to put them on dramatically.

Glad you're happy with it, Kevin. I'm really trying to get that website up by the end of July, but I've been saying that for almost a year now, lol. If you want the star template before then, just reach out through email again.

How much for the cross star template

Thanks brother!

Email me at maverickdesignswoodworking@gmail.com and we'll work it out.

Well, the good news is you can still use that stain, it's just a pain to apply and get the results you want. I cover my technique in the first one of these 2 videos. As far as outdoor use, it's only going to be as good as the finish you use on it. I've never used the total boat stuff, but regardless of how effective it is, it will require constant maintenance like anything else. How constant is a matter of how good it is, but more importantly the level of harshness of the environment. Alot of direct sunlight will break anything down rather quickly.

Absolutely. I've made and sold over 30 of them now. The final design is significantly more elaborate and elegant than the prototype in this video. I'm still working on the website, so I'm taking orders through email. Hit me up at maverickdesignswoodworking@gmail.com and we'll get you sorted out.

@@maverickdesignswoodworking I had just found your email address in the replies and sent you an email! Thanks!

Thanks!

You do realize it's entirely within your discretion to skip over things or adjust the volume on your device, right?

Lol. I admire the dedication to your frustration.

I'm sorry you feel that way. This was one of my first videos when I was still trying to figure all this out, and I've made significant adjustments since then, but I also have a lot of viewers who like to have more detail and info. I'll continue to improve as I go, but it's impossible to please everyone. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Dave! Got this last year, and it's a great saw.

LOL. Yup! A couple others mentioned that as well. 🤣

It was my honor.

I'm glad you found it helpful. There are some good tips for assembly, including a work around for a problem I had with mine, in the second part.

Thanks! Back when I did this, I hadn't figured out how to do that on the CNC yet.

I did! There's a video on it. I've made and sold around 30 of them. Check out that video.

The odds are very good actually! I read all the comments. What are your questions? It might be easier if you email them to maverickdesignswoodworking@gmail.com.
