Hi Paw Paw, thank you again for a great video. I love the tip about setting the depth of cut for the stars. This tip was great! BTW, I just finished a U.S. Flag on one piece of wood using the same dimensions as you. I painted the Union in blue to 7” x 8.50” and then the rest of the flag in red. After the paint dried, I applied the Oramask and then carved the stars and the white stripes. The depth of cut for the white stripes is set to .06”. I liked the extra recess of the alternate colors. Thank you so much for your tips. (My way is a bit challenging because of the precision measurements required. But, I followed your tuning of the X, Y, and Z axis and Easel made it easy.) Thank you again, stay safe and healthy.
How do you deal with/clean the glue that pushes out on the face since the flag is face down on the jig. I have a terrible time cleaning the excess glue. Thanks!
As I travel around the country I try and make a point to photograph our beautiful US Flag in as many setting and places as possible. I believe our flag is just beautiful. I have wanted to make a wooden flag for my shop for some time. Very nice job you did. Could you recommend a good C and. C machine for a home use? Thanks for making the video.
Thank you very much. I must agree with you 100%, it is a beautiful flag. I would suggest the Inventables XCarve as a good hobby machine. If you are planning to use it to start a business with the CNC then I would move up to the New Carve by CNC4newbie. Price point for both machines is similar and will not break the bank.
Paw paw thank you for making all the great videos. As a disabled Veteran, I want to thank you for your support. I have tried to find your union on inventable and have had no luck. Is there any way you could share the link to that for me? Thanks for everything you do...
I ran into the same issue with the stars found the boards were as much as .030” difference from edge to edge, that’s going to make a big difference in the size of the stars. My wife actually likes the looks of them being different she says it gives it character! Well, maybe.
I think she is being nice! Most times I will skim the board first but not thinking that such a small field would be that much off I went and carved without doing that step. Lesson learned. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video. I built one of your jobs and it has been great. Why don’t you glue your flags right side up in the jig in case any glue shows up so you can wipe it off instead of doing it upside down. I suspect it is an art doing it upside down without any squeeze out of glue. Thank you again.
If I build the flag right side up, then I can not put the braces on until after the glue dries. That slows the building process down a lot. Once the braces are on, I can take the flag out of the jig. No waiting. If there is any small amount of glue on the surface you can clean it up while it is still wet. I rarely have glue on the surface.
I love the smaller flag and am using scraps to make one now, but upon comparing it to ( www.inchcalculator.com/american-flag-size-proportions-calculator/ ) your union dimensions are little bit off. I thought your union looked a bit small. And according to the calculator it should be 9.8125" x 7. But since that looks like that was the size of scrap you had to use, so I 100% understand.Sorry its just my OCD showing itself. I absolutely love your tutorials, they have helped me immensely with my XCarve and with Easel, and I recommend your channel to everyone.
Thank you for your comments. You are correct. I on purpose make my flags a little longer and the actual proportions should be. It is my opinion that they look better when made a little longer. That does make the union proportion to appear to be off. It the overall length were shortened then the union would fall in line. Thank you very much for your observation and comments.
@@PawPawsWorkShop I wasnt trying to be a butthead, so i hope you didnt take it that way. I do like the leaner, longer look too. I am carving several sets of your bump stops right now. they are so helpful.
Yes, you can, I would use a solid or laminated wood the required size and then place the single star in the middle. It should be easier than the American Flag.
If only one or two stars is too small, I would delete the other stars and slightly increase the size of the small ones. Then leaving my X,Y and Z set the same, cut the smaller stars again. It doesn't have to be perfect, just close enough to trick your eye from a few feet away.
Excellent! Yes, that would work. I decided not to do that because it was not that much different. I would not delete the other stars just cover them up and put at a zero depth. I could then raise the board about 1 mm and carve that area. These stars are about 1.5mm off and not visually seen from a distance. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your comment. Consider this, a CNC machine to carve these stars cost less than the average table saw. It’s a matter of choice and the direction that you want to pursue your woodworking adventure
I like your projects. But you overuse, way overuse, the phrase “be able”. Many times you should just say “to do” instead of “to be able to do”. Nit picky,I know but it detracts from the quality and alters my focus on what you are saying.

That is awesome! It sounds like you did a fantastic job. I like what you did very much. Thank you for sharing.
How do you deal with/clean the glue that pushes out on the face since the flag is face down on the jig. I have a terrible time cleaning the excess glue. Thanks!
I do not have glue coming out the front side. The glue is used sparingly and is placed on the back half of the board.
I love your flag jig that you have. I need to make one of these since I make about 5 flags a week!
You should! It is a great jig and it makes it very easy to assemble the flags.
While watching this video, I realized how many tips and methods I've learned from you. Thanks for everything you do!
Glad to help! I am very happy to help people learn wood working. These tips make it easier. Thank you very much.

Good work from a good and handsome Grand father god bless you
You are so kind. Thank you
Glue usually won’t adhere to a painted or stained
surface. What did you use to glue the strips together?
I used the titebond original glue. The water based stain does not seem to be a problem with the glue holding.
Paw Paw’s WorkShop Thanks.

Paw Paw’s WorkShop thank you and I meant I built one of your jigs
I understand. Thank you
I not sure but I believe the Union is a little bit small for a 24.5 inch flag
I make my flags a little longer than regulation.
I wish us mere mortals could afford CNCs....but....more power to you who can
There are definitely entry level CNC machines that cost less than a table saw or a bandsaw.

I to use the flag calculator. But still it is a good looking flag. I also use a jig very similar to this one. Works great. I just need a cnc machine.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
How can I make the same with Moroccan flag
Yes, you can, I would use a solid or laminated wood the required size and then place the single star in the middle. It should be easier than the American Flag.

Thank you so much!
Sir. how big are the stars. thank you.
Big like 💐🇮🇶
Thank you, I appreciate this very much. Awesome!
I can appreciate this video up till the CNC part. Not at all practical for the average DIY person.
