@@smithjoydesign Oops! Well, you remind me of a Jim, so 😂
You all did a great job on my flag; love it. It is hung up next to my Air Force shadowbox! Love it!
Fantastic video and is very in-depth in the process!! Rather than buy one of these I wanted to make one for a friend as a more personal gift and this helped immensely! Thank you for sharing!!
Much appreciated. Take care and build on.
Great tutorial. Loved the tool and supply walkthrough at the beginning.
Appreciate it Chris!! Merry Christmas
Jim. I watched this video three times and find that it is one of the best I have ever seen. It is informative and very well done. I am in my retirement years and keep busy with my woodworking and find that the more I learn the more I have to learn. I have subscribed to your channel and hope you do more of these. I wish you and your family the best. Jim Jay.
Thanks Jim. Really appreciate it. Yes sir you are correct. We never stop learning. I enjoy woodworking and the satisfaction of making something. I wish you and your family the best in the new year.
Nice build. Thanks for sharing and for linking to the products used.
@@dkheaton thanks!! Take care and build on!!
Great looking flag, enjoyed the details you provided.
@@edwardsimmons3721 thanks!! Take care and build on!
Hi Jim. What a beautiful flag. Thank you for your tutorial. Well done. Your wife did a great job too. Do you sell your flags on line?
Nice work! Thank you.
Love this video (and the flag)!! Question for you: You used a stain, not a paint, correct? It looks like you just applied the stain with a foam brush. You didn't wipe off any excess? And you didn't apply multiple coats, correct? Appreciate your help. Thanks! God bless America!
Yep. Stain. That is correct used a foam brush. No need that I see to wipe off. Just let it soak. Thanks for watching. Take care and build on!!
I think, this is the first diy video that I see where at the beginning you get a list of all you need.
Tried to be informative. That way people don’t have to stop and rewind. Appreciate the compliment. Merry Christmas 🎄
@@smithjoydesign I really like the video and the design. Merry Christmas
Excellent tutorial. I especially like the razor blade tip for keeping the colors separated. Thanks👍🏼
Really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Take care and build on!
A way that I found works well is to cut along that pencil line with a sharp utility knife- then when staining, carefully bring your wet brush up to the cut with each color, and the color will not cross the cut line. You get a very sharp separation line of the two colors.
In Maine they just paint the flag on a pallet and lean it up against a tree out front. Easy Peezy! Careful around that cranked up saw blade!
Great tutorial. Simple and precise. Thank you.
Appreciate you taking the time. Take care and build on.
Beautiful flag thanks
Thank you!! Take care and build on!!
Great job!
@@RogerMcCauley-s1e thanks!! Take care and build on!!
I think I found my next project! So cool!
Appreciate it!! Happy New Year!!
Awesome job love the flags
Really appreciate it!!
FYI ...Scarlet is a discontinued Lowes exclusive color. The Standard color closest to it is Crimson.
Thanks Vince. Appreciate the info. Take care and build on!!
Actually, you can still get Scarlet and True Blue if you know how to do it. I have a video that explains it on my channel. ruclips.net/video/h6nWCwL0iME/видео.html
@@maverickdesignswoodworking yes I know you can still get them but I found that alot of Lowes paint associates don't like or dont know how to mix the old colors.
I have the 3 codes for red white and blue, thanks
@@vincemoser4636 do you have the color code numbers for the red

Really great!
Thank you!!
absolutely beautiful....
Thanks!!
Excellent video, great end result.
Appreciate it. Take care and build on!!
Nicely done, really nicely done. Dimensions as I would have expected from your perfect attention to detail are spot freakin' on. Loved the scorch pen. Now only if I can find wood at the BB store that isnt warped and bowed.
Great video! I am showing the video to my husband to make a bunch! Great job. 18:03
Much appreciated. Take care and build on.
Well done sir!
Looks Nice Brother! Beautiful Job To The Wife As Well! Now That Is A Stain That You Used Right? Not Paint. Lol. 🤝
Thanks James. Greatly appreciated. Yes it is stain. Here is the info on it.

Take care and build on brother!!
god bless you. Merry Christmas
Hey, thanks for this great video. I'm just starting making flags and crosses. I'm using 1 inch PVC, for starters as my son gets some extra pieces from work.
I noticed you're using 2x10's, wow that must be a heavy flag.
I use a metal template and use a 106 as well but I use the cone shaped piece that can be adjusted.
Since we prefer paint instead of stain my only problem is not having crisp edges on the stars
We also like the PVC because it's white throughout.
Looking forward to graduating to burning in the future.
Just FYI, since the PVC can come in large pieces I can make the union in one piece and then add the five stripes.
Thanks again, Robert
Robert much appreciated. I never thought of using PVC. Great idea. Take care and build on.
Very pretty flag. I'll probably never make one - not my thing - but this one is beautiful.
Thank you so much Laura!! Merry Christmas!! 🎁🎄
Great video. Thanks for starting out with the things needed. Really like the dremeled stars rather than just painted on. Looks classier. Never saw that wood burning ink before either. Most of the flags I’ve seen are from 1-by’s. Like the look of the 2x. Thanks so much. And has anyone ever said you like like Justin Turner of the Dodgers?😂
Thank you. I appreciate it!! Yes I rip pine 2x10x12 one inch thick. That gives you 1 1/2 by 37 by 1 inch thick strip. They are more solid to me and its cheaper. Price of lumber is outrageous. Yes I get Justin Turner, Liver King, and Ginger Billy 😂 Take care and build on.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks and Merry Christmas!!!
Woodglut is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
Good thing you have a barn for that massive all in one table brother😂. Gonna do try this flag build tonight. Thanks homie!
Let me know how it goes!! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Take care and build on!!
subbed, gotta support my fellow north carolinians, kudos from vanceboro
We appreciate it!!
Nice work Mr. Smith 👍🙏❤️🇺🇸 I use 1 x 10s but I’m definitely going to try doing it with 2x, much respect for the work you do 👍🙏❤️🇺🇸
Thanks John!! I used the 1x in the past and ripped 1 1/2, but I found it was cheaper to rip 2x one inch thick. Also they seem more sturdy to me, but I am known to overbuild. 😂 That’s what my friends say anyway. In the end I found it easier. Take care and build on.
this is sick. good job man
Appreciate it. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Beautiful work sir !! 12 year U.S.M.C vet
Mike appreciate it and I thank you for your service!! Navy vet myself brother. Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless!!
I use a metal stencil for the stars
Awesome video!
Appreciate it!! Thanks for watching. Take care.
Muy bueno
Amazing product
Appreciate the compliment!! Merry Christmas
great flag you need a branding iron for them will make you one for a flag
I appreciate it. Send me your contact info. Thanks for watching. Take care and build on!!
I love this. Do you still make these and can I order one?
They dont make scarlet anymore what do you suggest and great video
Crimson 😊
I have a question about the stain. Is it a solid or semi-transparent stain? Thanks for the video. I am making one for my son's room. I really like the tool breakdown in the beginning. Nicely done.
Thank you so much. It is solid. Take care and build on!!
Talon
Thank you for the speedy response. You are on top of it. Best regards, kind sir.
hey thanks so much for the video i have made a few for family now have there friend's wanting me to build one for them if you don't mind how much you sell them for? appreciate everything man
Around 120 to 140 is what I charge brother. Thanks for watching. Take care and build on!!
Around 120 to 140 is what I charge brother. Take care and build on!!
Have you ever tried just glueing the stripe boards together? Then you wouldn't need the three boards on the back.
No I have not, but you have way more time in them thus cutting into your operating cost
How do you control the depth of each star?
I just dremel deep enough to take the blue stain off. Take care and build on.
Great tutorial! I am going to try to build the flag and CNC the stars. I have CNC'd a flag out of a single board but I think these flags look better. Do you use Solid or Semi Transparent stain?
Really appreciate it. I use the min wax solid stain. I hope to get a cnc machine in the future. A lot of people do their stars with a cnc and it looks sharp. Take care.
How can I find all the flags you have made?
I am looking to make a flag for law enforcement and first responders. Did you ever make one one so I can see what color blues you used and style?
Check us out on Facebook SmithJoy Design.
Awesome! Are these 2x10’s surfaces plained or just rough cut? Ripping 1” cuts for the flags thickness will leave you with 1.5” wide stripes if plained correct?
Appreciate it. They are just pine 2x10’s you get at a lumber store. I didn’t plane em. That’s correct. 1inch by 1 1/2inch. Take care and build on.
really good job Joy. As I don't understand English very well, please can you tell me the measurements, length and height. Also of the stripes and in particular the size of the stencil or the blue corner. Can you give in centimeters. What kind of wood is Fir? Greetings from Trieste Italy
Douglas Fir is a type of softwood, pine is a different kind of softwood. Not sure what's available in abundance in Italy.
The flag is 13 pieces at 94 centimeters long for the stripes.
The blue square is about 35x25 centimeters.
The back supports are 48.25 centimeters in length. Adjust as necessary.
Center on back is 47 centimeters, adjust out 1.8 centimeters on either side for center. Then 30.5 centimeters away left and right from center for the other two braces.
@@matthewdavis6741 Thank you so much
@@claudiodiafano872 no problem! Enjoy!
👍👍
Have you tried sandblasting the stars using a stainless steel stencil?
I have not. Not saying that it can’t be done, but is it worth the set up and time. Sand blasting can be messy as well. If you try it. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for watching and take care and build on.
How much do you charge for that flag material cost?
How long g does it take to dremel out the stars...also how in the world do you not destroy the plastic templet doing it that way?
Appreciate you watching. 15 to 20 minutes tops to do the stars. The stencils hold up great, but I buy extras on Amazon. Take care and build on!!
Excellent presentation! Have you done a flag and used a round over bit on the outer edges before stain? Thanks again!
Jon
Really appreciate it. No I have not, but I have thought about.
Question: You never glue between each board before putting the three (3) back strips on?
Sorry, I see you answered the glue question already.
minwax is great stain
Does the button on the flex shaft get really hot for yall??
Do you have a link to that marker you used on the back to sign your name? What was that?

I have made 2 so far and they turned out gorgeous. I was stuck with douglas fir wood. I see you use the d hooks to hang, but I hang mine with the D hooks and wire and it leans forward not flush...what am I missing here 😂
Alicia that’s awesome. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. I tried the wire too. Had the same results. Had good luck with these. amzn.to/3LvJxAt
I wish I could share a pic but I don't know how on you tube
How does cutting 13 at 1 inch come out to 19 inches should be 1 1/2 wide
@@BillHilyard after you rip flip it. You have a 1 1/2 wide by 1 inch thick. Take care and build on.
Beautiful stuff! Actually MADE IN AMERICA by AMERICANS with AMERICAN PINE and other products. How about a Gadson DON'T TREAD ON ME version....somehow next?
That’s a great idea!! Don’t tread on me!!! It is on my radar!!
Good Video. Thanks. If I make these, how much should the retail price be? (To my customers.)
MarbleTree thanks for reaching out. I sell them for 120. If you have any other questions let me know. Take care and build on!!
for a second I thought you were scorching my name in there
Will it mess the blue stain up if I torch stars to long
It all depends how long you burn and what look your going for. I have done both. It never really messed up the stain.
Have you ever had a problem with splitting btween stripes due to the cross grain gluing of the supports?
Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Nope I haven’t ran into that issue. Take care and build on.
Does it need to be a 2x10 or can you also use a 2x6. Figure you will have to cut more but all I have are 2x6x12 and don't have the money to spare.
Appreciate you reaching out. 2x6 are fine. Definitely use what you standing by. The end result is you have 13 pieces 1 inch and 1/2 wide by 37inches long by one inch thick. Take care and build on.
@SmithJoy Design Thank you. I will also need to build a work table later on. I'm tired of picking up and moving miter saw when I need to cut long boards. It would be nice to roll it outside and build away.
Aren't you concerned about your sealer pooling in the star cutouts??
Appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Never had a problem with pooling. Wood absorbs the sealant well. Take care and build on.
How do you mount on shed to prevent theft?
That’s a good question. I never really thought about it to be honest. See if I can come up with something and get back with you. Take care and build on.
Hey great video, one question, did you guys sand the stars after you engraved them or how did you make them smooth?
Appreciate it. No we leave them how they are. The only thing we do is burn them some with the blow torch. Like that rustic look.
So the stars are just bare wood after dremeling?
Yes sir.
Yes sir.
What lettering size would you recommend to engrave the name and rank on the front of the flag?
Start to finish how long does it take to make a flag and what do you sell them for? Thanks great info video
Steve appreciate you reaching out. I cut all my wood in advance after that I usually put together about 8 to 10 at a time and paint in a day. The next day I Dremel and then seal them up. I sell them for 120. If you really wanted to put in the hours and you had the space for more jigs you could probably even do more. Especially if you had some extra hands. Take care and build on.
What gauge nailer did you use?
Appreciate you watching the video. I use a 16 gauge finish nailer. Take care and build on.

Dang, Liverking, you look so different with a shirt on.

How do you carve the stars without chewing up your template?
Good morning Dennis. We just take our time, but if you are worried about the stencil you can trace the stars then dremel. Appreciate you reaching out. Take care and build on
What are the pros and cons of using wood glue between each board for added strength? I noticed you chose not to glue them.
Hey Kevin. I have glued in between each board in the past, but I didn’t like it seeping out on the flag side after clamping it. The clean up was painful. I suppose I could do a lighter coat of glue to remedy that problem though. I found putting a heavy coat on the three back supports worked just as good for me. I have made a lot of these flags and never had any issues or complaints. I do make sure to nail every strip. I hope this helps and I do appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and reach out. Take care and build on!!
Kevin, also check out my FB for other flag builds I have done in the past. facebook.com/smithjoydesign?mibextid=LQQJ4d
@@smithjoydesign Great job. I build flags and put glue on each strip but put the glue close to the back of the strip so it will not bleed to the front. You will not have to clean it from the front. Just a little tip. Take Care
@@jimkoz5052 appreciate the tip. I will definitely give it a try. Take care and build on!!
Very nice! Where do you get one of those pens? That looked great!
How many flags do you get from one 12’ 2x10?

Great video. What size nails you use on back braces?
Good evening. 1 3/4.
Jim I’m new to this brother. You said you cut the stripes 1”. Does that mean the flag size is 37x13. Always thought the size was 37x19.5.
Not sure who Jim is. 😂 This is Talon. You rip the boards one inch. When you flip it on its side 1 1/2 wide. So essentially what you got is a 1 1/2 strip 37 inches long by 1 inch wide. I should of clarified that in the video Jose. Thanks for watching. Take care and build on!!
