- If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I make a lot of custom flags and I just wanted to share my process with you. I learned how to create wooden flags through RUclips and I still use a lot of the techniques that I used when I built my first flag in February of 2018.
If you have any questions about any of the steps please let a comment below.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
"Earn your upgrades." Best all around wood working advice I've heard in a long time.
Works for me!
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate this. It was such a blessing to watch it. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the support!
Your videos are great, but your talent is greater! You are helping out all of us woodworkers and give us great motivation to try new things. Amazing! Thanks for your lessons!
Thanks for the support!
As a former LEO, now turned recent carpenter/woodworker, I totally appreciate the work you're doing. I love your techniques. I've never thought to burn my wood before assembling but I will from now on. Thanks for the tips. Stay safe!
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching brotha!
Just found this and your Instagram feed. Loving the work you’re doing. As someone who’s getting started doing this type of work, your tips were super helpful.
I appreciate the support!
Just swinging by to the people who helped with my project. Your video was one of the ones I watched to fill in the blanks. It helped squash some of the doubts I was having. I did a thin line flag that is able to cover most of the thin lines in one flag using RGB lighting and epoxy.
I'm glad the video helped!
Man was this awesome! I literally learned or picked up so many tips from this video and it was awesome to see you're process. Great video, great edit!
I appreciate it! Lots of good content on RUclips about building flags so it's nice to be able to pick and choose what works for your set up
I am loving your channel Great work with very good instructions.
Tha is for the support!
Nice, clean work, good tips, thanks
Nice video! Thanks for posting ! Can’t wait for the next one
Thanks for the support brotha!
Loved the video.. I have made several Texas flags and several USA flags all from pallets for outdoor yard displays... I like your method and may have to give it a try, after I recoup from shoulder reconstruction...
Thanks for watching!
Great video! "Earn your upgrades!" Thumbs up and already subbed.
Great job. Really enjoyed watching and hope to do this hobby in the near future.
Thank you for the support!
Great work, a true craftsman.
Thanks for the support!
Well done! Great piece and great video! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Doing great things my man! Great RUclips content, I imagine your channel will be taking off for you soon!
Thank you for the multi-platform support! Gotta love the side hustle!
Outstanding work man keep it going love the hustle !
Thank you for the support!
Beautiful flag, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I recently started to use acrylic paint on my flags. Cheaper, faster, truer colors, more options on colors, when applied with Frog tape and sponged on- way faster. Just an option I felt was worth sharing.
Wondering if you water it down or use it straight out the bottle? I can never seem to get the water ratio right to turn the paint into a stain apperance
@@jeffdasher5136 depended on the color; but typically straight out of the bottle but applied with a sponge and only letting it stain the wood so the grain comes through. Hope that makes sense. I’ve watered down some colors, but typically that’s white or yellow, and rarely have to utilize those colors.
Dude, I just happened across your channel and love your content. It’s also awesome that you’re a fellow LEO in North Carolina!! I’m a little further east. Stay safe brother!!
You do the same, thanks for the support!
Amazing work. Great video.
Thank you sir!
funny that i ran across this , i just bought a CNC router. But I actually watched your make money making cornhole boards video over a year ago and bro I did exactly that I used your methods and jigs/tricks and it made it so easy for me . Thanks for all you do keep up the good work brother
I appreciate the support!
I've started using pocket holes and screws in mine to get rid of the boards on the back and it works really well and it comes out super fast and since I do all my stars with a Dremel it makes it very easy. It sits nice and flat on the wall too
Plenty of good flag making methods out there!
Doesn’t drilling out all those pocket holes and screwing all the boards together take way more time, and money, than 3 strips and brad nails?
Yes it takes a little longer but I like it better than brad nails and strips on the back because it sits flush against the wall and comes out just about completely flat and if i had a planer it would be completely flat but the flatter yiu can make it the stars come out so much easier and better when using the dremel to carve them out. It cost me about 50 dollars to make my flag because I use good wood not furling strips
Nice work Joe!
Thank you sir!
Very nice video. Good job . Thanks.
Thanks for the support!
Nice video! Also love that the shop dog made a cameo!
Thank you! She makes appearances more often than not. She loves laying in the sawdust 😂
Awesome video dude. Fellow flag builder and follower on Instagram.
Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!
Great work.
Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
When you made you keyhole jig, how long was the the hole, total length, also depth? Thanks.
Great video and awesome craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing your woodworking skills. Do you recall the brand/color you used for the blue stripe?
Nice work man, looks good!
Thanks brotha, I really appreciate it!
I just found this. I am a medically retired Police Officer and looking for ways to help keep myself sane. Love this and thanks for keeping it simple for someone like me. Stay Relentless brother.
Thanks for the support brother! And that's exactly why I do woodworking on my days off!
that turned out nice
Thank you sir!
Very impressive
Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Subscribed.
Thanks for the support!
Awesome. Just subscribed
Thanks for the supportive
I am having so much fun learning how to use my use my Shapeoko XXL! Some people online act like it’s cheating or something lol just another tool
The people who say it's cheating are just mad because they don't know how to budget and save for one. You are right, it's just another tool like a router or a table saw
How do you get you strips to lay flat, so even? Thanks.
What’s the name of the blue stain that you used on this one?
Liked and subscribed. My father-in-law is retiring this year here in Colorado and I’ve been thinking about making him one of these. He has been on the force a long time and deserves something like this.
Thank you for the awesome video and instructions. Thank you as well for service!
I appreciate the support! Glad I could help out a fellow blue line family!
Have you ever used a spar urathane to coat? Curious of your thoughts on this instead of polycrylic. Thanks
I used regular poly. Works just fine but it will amber the wood because it's oil based. Water based finishes will not alter the color of the wood, stain, etc.
One site tells me I can get 13 - 1 1/2 half slats out of a 2x10 board? I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Thank you for sharing! I truly appreciate your honesty regarding tips you have learned from others as well as the reminder to work towards upgrades and not go into depth:)
Thanks for the support!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing about working with what you have... too many people give up before they start because they don’t have the latest and greatest right off the bat 😣
Thanks for watching!
YO MAN THIS IS LIT🤪🥵🔥 TUMPER 20🇬🇷🇫🇷MAGNA🥇🎣🥶
Thanks thanks for all these great videos. I am a virgin to the CNC world LOL I just purchased the same one you have on this video but it’s still in the box in the garage. Hopefully I get time to put that sucker together soon. Do you happen to sell the files for your flags so they’re easier to upload to Carbide create? Thank you for your service as well, I am a retired LEO and So Cal. Please stay safe and you’ll be in my prayers.
Hey nice Nassau County Police patch, I retired out of the 2nd Precinct in 2012!!
Got it from my buddy Tim up there. Met him through Instagram good guy and he makes some cool stuff himself!
Do you lay the flag stars in carbide create then put the logo over top removing any stars that would be under the graphic? Trying to play with the software while saving up for a machine!
I just found your channel and subscribed 3 seconds into this video. Thank you for being willing to defend The Thin Blue Line.
Thank you very much for your support!
BlueLine WoodWorks I agree. THANK YOU SO MUCH, from a 26 veteran of the Virginia State Police that is now retired.
@@mikehamilton4880 thank you for your service brother!
You can have the blue lines just don't put it on our American flag it's against the law for someone desecrating the American flag
@@LazyLabAcres it’s fucking illegal to desecrate the American flag. It always has been. Police are publicly funded not a private club. I am a veteran who took an oath to our flag and country. The police are supposed to be neutral. Fuck sake.
Having trouble finding the clear boat u used been having trouble finding a clear that doesn’t yellow wood. You wouldn’t happen to have exact name or link would u. Thanks in advanced
We are late to the party on this, but this is a great video. We are definitely posting on our social media! Keep up the great work!
Emmy Braxtly
great commentary man, nj
Thanks for watching!
Great video and very good advice. I have been making flags for about a year and a half now. I finally earned enough to to buy a Shapeko 3 XXL, so I am retiring my Dremel, hand make stencils and hand carving. The learning curve with carbide create has been tough so far but I have managed to create a few designs that I am excited to try out. I have not actually cut anything on the CNC yet. I just assembled it today and still have to true it up and cut a waste board. my question is how did you market your flags? was it online or did you start out at a local venue? Appreciate your work and talent.
Thank you for the video.... how much do you charge for a regular flag?
Hi there. Your flags are awesome.
Could you please tell me which model Shapeoko you have there?
Thanks so much.
Your comment was that you started Feb 2018. Can you walk us through the process of how you started. Where you sold the products at and how the process evolved to what it is today. This may be a terrific idea for a video even.
Definitely will be a future video!
Excellent work, thanks for sharing..
Key hole jig is great, but since you have a CNC you can create a cut file and use your CNC.
I have 2 files I use, one that cuts 0.32 inches deep and one that cuts 0.44 inches deep for heavier signs.
They both are base on X0 and Y0, so I just need to jog my router to the location of the keyhole, then temporarily set X and Y to zero, then cut.
-Les
Thanks for the support! I've thought about using the CNC, but with the jig it's so quick to put the keyholes right where I want em. Not sure if I could do it quicker on the CNC
What degree V-Bit did you use? Thanks.
Nice work. As a Vet (Nam included) and a retired LEO (32 Years), I love what you have done. I too have made many similar LEO, Breast Cancer Awareness etc, representative flags. Keep up the nice work and ignore the fools
Thank you sir! And thank you for your dedicated service!
I really enjoyed your video. I was wondering what make and model of CNC machine you used?
Shapeoko XXL, I recently uploaded a video discussing it
Great great video man thanks for sharing it with us.🔥👍💯✔ where did u get your wood engraving tool from? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. I bought my dremel from Lowes
Question, I'm on LI also, where do you get the rough sawn pine from?
I'm in North Carolina
How much is shipping usually? Custom package box?
What color blue did you use and is your stain semi transparent or soild
Hey man awesome video!
I was curious what model CNC you have is it the xxl?
Just got MY SHAPEOKO!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUIDANCE❤️🇺🇸
YOUR Q&A VIDEO MADE MY DECISION EASY I’m ALL ABOUT 🇺🇸AMERICAN MADE🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
NOW MR MEYER to learn how to run it and set it up!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SERVICE TO A NATION IN NEED😢 I MEAN ITS NOT LIKE YOUR POLICING THE GREATEST GENERATION IN THEIR PRIME❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any info on the CNC machine?
Hey man, great build ! I do my own as well. But I like the key hole idea , where did you get the square base plate for your router or it already came with it ? I have a makita but with a round base. I want to make the jig but I’m sure it’ll be much easier with a square base.
harbor freight router came with the square base
Good work. I like seeing everyone's different techniques from my own.
Thank you! I've actually changed my style since this video too. Always experimenting
@@LazyLabAcres of course. I'm always looking for way to improve time and quality.
What kind of cnc do you have and what software do you use? -never mind! I found your video explaining everything about it. Thank you!
There's a video on my channel all about it! Shapeoko and aspire
I really like your technique with the Frog tape. Do you use a similar technique when making Red, White and Blue flags? I was wondering how you create a clean line between the Blue and Red section of the stripes. I have been using razor blades.....thanks...
Water based stain will still bleed a little with frog tape, but gel stain works really well
I just stumbled upon your channel and subbed. Love your honest approach and tutorial. Great channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and resources
I appreciate the support!
I too have a CNC machine. It is an x carve using easel software. I am in the process of making a flag for my son who is a police officer so I would like to add his departments patch logo. The problem I am having is converting the HTML artwork to something I can carve. Any suggestions would help. Thank you.
I’m just north of you in Henderson. Where is the sawmill that you are getting your lumber from?
I typically go out to the Murdock sawmill in Bunn
Hey man I have built and sold a few flags and had a few questions if you dont mind. #1 I started making my flags without a separate Union and found that it was more challenging with the dremmel due to the wood separations for each stripe. I have since gone to using a separate piece of wood for the Union which I find is much easier to carve now. My question is, how does the CNC machine do with the going over the stripes? Also, how hard was the learning curve to learn how to use the machine? Last question, why that specific machine opposed to others? I have been contemplating getting one but the people I have sold to already said they appreciate the hand touch. However, its very tedious carving each star and I would love to do more complex designs. Take care my friend. Thanks for your service!
Amazing skills my friend. Had to subscribe right away. I make these flags as well and selling them locally have really kicked off my little at home woodshop! Great new hobby when I'm not being a detention officer. I'm in the process of purchasing a jointer next month if I continue to sell and a shapeoko XL as well later this summer! I need to shed time when carving out the stars. How's the learning curve on that cnc? And have you thought about building wooden shields for different depts? I'm having a hard time getting a picture of my shield and turning it to a SVG file for carbide 3D and it actually coming out right.. Any ideas?
Learning curve was pretty steep for me, but after some trial and error, I figured it out. I use Adobe illustrator to make SVGs. Inkscape is a good free option too
Awesome work. Before you got your CNC machine what programs did you use to create designs within the union. Also How did you figure out what prices to charge. I understand it depends on the area of the country but just starting out and it’s a big question I’ve got
Used a cricut stencil cutter prior to having the CNC. You just have to price things at whatever you think you are worth. If you are selling a gizillon products, you are probably priced too low and if you are not selling anything you are probably priced too high
Very nice! My Shapeoko is shipping tomorrow! What did bit did you use for the key hole? Very slick idea on that simple jig BTW!
You're gonna love the Shapeoko! The bit for the keyhole is a 3/8" keyhole bit. The one I use is made by Bosch
As a retired Lieutenant with the Phila. P.D. I couldn’t help but notice the Philly emblem prominently mounted on the front of your CNC. Thanks, and your work & videos are great!
Thank you for the support sir! One of your brothers sent it to me a while back. I'm down in NC and any patches I get, I throw them on the CNC enclosure
What made you buy the Shapeoko CNC machine instead of the X Carve machine?
I'll be discussing that in my next video!
Great job. What bit did you use for the badge? I'm assuming not the V bit?
If I remember correctly I think I used a 60 and a 30 degree v bit
Great tribute for Trooper Palmer. We have been by his side since he came to Utah. He is doing well. Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear he is recovering!
New subscriber! Amazing work!
What made you go with the shape IMO versus x carve?
Video about that is on my channel!
Hey, can you tell me exactly which stain you're using for that blue? I like it! Thanks
When I do mine I use true blue from lowes.
Great work! What bit did you use to get the detail of the center of the badge? I've used a 60 degree v bit before for similar work and I'm never happy with how it turns out.
Thanks for the support! I used a 30 degree engraving bit. Next video is going to be a CNC Q&A and I'll be discussing a lot about my go to bits
@@LazyLabAcres Awesome! I'll be looking for it, just subscribed today and fellow LEO.
@@aaronolson9501 Way more people have the REAL flag. No one wants a FAKE flag.
Great work. I’m a retire Marine and started making flags for fun. I have sold some. My question is did you buy the program to make the design on Etsy and how hard is it to learn the shapeoko CNC? I’ve been looking at one for a while I just been overwhelmed by the learning process.
Hey Joe when you first started doing your flags and hand carving the police patches were you using a photo of the department patch over the union or did you make a file with your wife’s stencil cutter. I’m attempting to make a flag for my local PD
I would trace a stencil
Can you give me the link on what bit you use for your CNC machine
Links are in my latest youtube video about the CNC!
Aside from running the boards through the planer you never sanded them? I don't have a planer so I'm using an electric sander. My stripes differ slightly because I'm just using palette wood. Do you think I should assemble first, trim my rough edges, sand, and then disassemble to stain and then reassemble? Like your work, keep the videos coming. Stay safe
I lightly hand sanded after burning I just forgot to show that. I would say to try a few different ways and find what is the most efficient method for you. I try a new technique all the time to try and make the process faster
Can you tell me what size are the stars
I've just started making burnt wood flags. I'm starting a thin blue line flag tomorrow morning and I'm wondering what you sell your flags for? I understand that location plays a part in that but I really have no idea where to price these flags. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks and great tutorial for a great product. Keep up the excellent work.
I appreciate the support. My older flags (like the one in the video were $200 at least). Since then, I use better materials and my design work has improved so the price has too!
Great video bro! Keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you!
Good job man!! Looks great!
Thanks for the support!
Good stuff, retired S.O. guy just looking on how to build a business out of the shop. Really like your work, Thanks so much. Dale
Thanks for the support!
Can you post a link for your cnc machine
Nice job! I've made a few flags but I burned the black stripes till they were charred. Do you think it is better to do the charcoal stain instead?
I've done it both ways and I personally just liked the stain better
@@LazyLabAcres I would imagine that burning the stripes would leave potential for soot, or would the poly finish eliminate that?
@@mexidep a little sanding before finish will remove any soot that may be there
