The only thing I would change is the mounting of the flag on the wall. If the battery dies you can't get in it. Mount it so you can get to the back so you can get in. By removing the screws on the back. Awesome build !!!
Very clean build and well described video. I like the lock system. Far better than the mag lock. Being an electrician, I may wire mine if I build one and have an outlet behind the flag in order to install led lighting I don't have to charge as well as a alarm on it connected to my home security. That way unless I deactivate the alarm, it will automatically alert my alarm company to send police so I can concentrate on neutralizing the threat.
@@keystonewoodworx4544 I found this site super helpful in the process of laying it out. www.cutlistoptimizer.com/. I'm hoping to finish building the first of two of these soon. Would you like photos of it?
It’s a fun and cool build! I had a bunch of fun making it. Best of luck with your build Jasmine! If you are looking for any of the components, I have them bundled on my website. Lakesidewoodshed.com
Lol don't let her hear you say ex-military. I asked a guy onetime was he ex-military and he let me know right quick he was former military not ex. I guess ex is a bad term to use 😜
Great job! The downside is if you don’t have an NC cutter for the stars. There are other options to do it by hand! I am going to fab a couple for my son and son in law! I might make three so I can keep one.. 👍🏼 again great job!
Btw, you're looking under a grand in tools... router is around $100, table saw $300, compound miter should be $350-500... $900 and you'll use everything again
Buy "Wen" brand stuff and "Bauer" brand stuff. I build indoor and outdoor furniture, storage, decks, gazeebos, ect. Started after getting laid off due to all the China virus stuff. Haven't had any issues with the equipment yet; did get roasted on by my dad who is a Milwaukee fanboy.
When connecting your stripes together you mention gluing them together. That part is completed pretty quickly in your video. Do you glue and just clamp them or do you also Kreg screw them together? Awesome teaching video. Thank you
Thanks a bunch Andy! I’d use a kreg and glue if you have one. However, if you don’t you can clamp for 30 and that way you can adjust the face completely flush while it dries. I’d recommend option two if you’re doing one at a time.
Seems that lid would warp without reinforced backers. When I've made just that sized flag and left it without a backers. They've warped in as little as 30 minutes
Nice build! I'll put that on my project list and get to it about never! I have about a million unfinished projects. Can't seem to get a single one to completion though. Lol
@@PopsCustomSignsLLC Funny you mention that. 2 years, 8 months, 1 day, 9 hours and 21 minutes until retirement eligibility, but I'm not counting hahaha!
@@joshuacarter3478 I did the same countdown to my retirement. I retired on my 40th anniversary day from my company. Congrats.....and it will be here before you know it!!
@@PopsCustomSignsLLC When I'm eligible I'll have 25 years in. Depending on climate at that time I'll make decision whether to go or not. It will just be nice to have the option.
Thank you for doing this video. I made one of these this past weekend for a buddy’s birthday and he absolutely loved it. I had to watch the video at least 15 times when it came time to adding the hinges because I noticed the top of the box was thicker than the rest. I added a half inch piece and it worked out great. I was very impressed with this build. Thanks again for all the detail.
My wood shop teacher is rolling over in his grave. The crossed arm move you did cutting the stripes on radial arm saw would have gotten you a fail on the safety check. Besides that, just so you don't think I'm trolling here, I loved this video and this project is awesome! Really well done on both flag and video content. Thanks!
@@keystonewoodworx4544 hey, your tablesaw use was safe, so that's a more dangerous tool. Don't ya love armchair woodworkers? Lol. Enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work
What router bit did you use to router the stars? It’s really crisp and clean! My wife and I currently have a CNC machine and make flags but the bit we use doesn’t do that good of job
Lakeside Woodshed did you end up finding an answer to my question? Does that cord come with the rfid chip reader, and how is it sticking out of the top? Did you drill an additional hole?
Wood glue if clamped and applied properly is actually incredibly strong. It would be fine if used in this way since there is no force applied to the individual pieces.
@@keystonewoodworx4544 I guess you would just need to make a 15" (or whatever it is) unit so it will fit in between studs and then mount it to those studs from the side.
The one I purchased to build mine is not kid friendly. When battery is low it’s supposed to give a long warning beep after you open lid. If you’re not around and battery does deplete enough lock releases and lid opens. Came home one day to ammo cabinet wide open. Mine does have power cable if I wanted to power it from house
Finally someone who shows you step by step great job.
The metaphorical symbolism depicted in this piece of construction should not be lost on anyone
Im a retired cabinet maker, Kid you got talent. Nice job!!!
I also checked out your web site, awesome.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words!! Stay safe and god bless !
Tanfoglio in the cabinet! Nice touch!
Really nice build. I now need to build five of them, one for me and then four more for my gun packing kids.
And me please? Can I be your kid?
True American🦾
Why stop at 5? You can use the same principle for a mirror for Long Guns
The only thing I would change is the mounting of the flag on the wall. If the battery dies you can't get in it. Mount it so you can get to the back so you can get in. By removing the screws on the back. Awesome build !!!
I think this is one of the best videos describing how to build one of these concealed flag displays. Great job and thank you.

Thank you sir! Best of luck!
OH DANG IM MAKING that right now designing as I go..wish I would of found this ahead
VERY WELL DONE ! VERY NICE VIDEO ! I ENJOYED IT A LOT !! THANK YOU FOR SHARING !!
Would love a hardware list for this. Like the magnetic opener and the hinges and so on! This is awesome!!
Thank you so much! I actually have all of the hard on my website. Lakesidewoodshed.com
@@keystonewoodworx4544 it seems as if this website is down. Do you
have the hardware posted anywhere else?
I can't get the website to work either, but would love to see where to get the hardware
Crown molding around lid would be nice. It would look like the flag was picture framed in and you wouldn't notice it opens up. Just a suggestion...
That’s a great idea!
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
I like the included detail to this build. Great video!
Thank you!
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya Prayers 🙏

The term is either Veteran or Retired Military. "Ex-military" is for people who got Dishonorable discharged
Nice video great detail. Can you add links or provide info on the struts and RFID locks. Keep up the great work. 👽
Very nice video! Concealment flag cabinet looks great.
Thanks a bunch!!
This is so cool.. Thanks for sharing
Nice CM9! I've got one of them too.
Love it. Very excited to do this!
Amazing work dude. You sir are an artist.
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it !
A nice work bud. I was wondering if you could send me a link to those hinges that you use for the flag oh greatly appreciate it brother. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you
Thank you for watching!!
Nice build and good video. You also have good taste in pistols. The Witness is one of my favorites.
Haha thanks! I found that one used for a good price. I haven’t shot it in a while but do love taking it out when I can!
Awesome build bro. Really nice
Thank you so much !
Nice job!

Fantastic Build. Well done
Great job! The downside is if you don’t have an NC cutter for the stars. There are other options to do it by hand! I am going to fab a couple for my son and son in law! I might make three so I can keep one.. 👍🏼 again great job!
Thanks a bunch! Amazon sells stencils for painting the stars
Beautiful
Thank you!
Could you share who did the music? It’s hypnotic😊
Awesome work!
Beautiful looking flag.
That is very creative, awesome!
Thank you so much !!😊
Oh sweet now all I need to do this myself is a sliding compound miter saw, blow torch, table saw, CNC machin...
Nevermind I'll just buy one
There are substitutes to all of these tools haha. You could cut every board with a circular saw and do the stars with a stencil.
You can buy one, I'm learning woodworking again myself. It's worth it in the end
Btw, you're looking under a grand in tools... router is around $100, table saw $300, compound miter should be $350-500... $900 and you'll use everything again

Nice job what kind of foam you use and we’re can I get it
By far the best flag gun case video I’ve seen. Very awesome build!
This is such a cool project, thanks for sharing and the great idea for my new m&p shield!
Very nice build..looks great...no one ever taught you not to cross your arm in front of the sawblade though
Self taught and learning everyday.
@@keystonewoodworx4544 i gotcha..but it is dangerous on a miter saw to cross your arm infront of the blade..keep up the good work though
Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on that
Just swap your stop to the left side and then you won't have the arm crossing issue.
Very cool - thanks
Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!
What bit rid you use to router in the inlay for the panel to sit into
super nice
Nice Creative idea
What size bit do you use for the stars, typically i use a 90 V Bit , but for larger flags. I was thinking a 60 V Bit?
wish I had the tools to make one...totally cool
Awesome job
Thanks a bunch!
Do you have x carve, I started to buy one.
I ended up with the carbide shapeoko
I have the xcarve ..both are great machines.
very nice! i made a slide rail box, but im going to be doing a box with the struts.. great build man.
I'm still working on my first box but the slide rails are so dang expensive.
Very nice!
Great job THANK YOU!!!!!

Man this is beautiful. Thank u for sharing
Looks awesome! I would love to build one with USMC logo but don’t have a CNC or all the tools needed.
Pretty cool 🤘😎🍻
Thanks!
Nice! What are the dimensions on the back panel? I didn't catch it in the video.
Nice work!! What kind of wood do you use??
Thanks! For these I’m using white pine
Do you have any videos on how to hang one ? This video didn't mention the process in detail, although "hanging" wasn't in the title to be fair.
What router bit did you use to router the stars? It’s really crisp and clean! My wife and I currently have a CNC machine and make flags but the bit we use doesn’t do that good of job
Try a 90 v bit !
That’s dope
Thanks man!
What if the batteries in the RFID reader die, is there another way to open the cabinet?
Yep! There is a cord sticking out of the top.
@@keystonewoodworx4544 Nice...my OCD would make me recess that into the wall and have the fail safe/cord from the room behind the wall. lol
Does the cord you speak of come with the rfid reader? How did you get it to stick out of the top? Drill an additional hole?
Lakeside Woodshed did you end up finding an answer to my question? Does that cord come with the rfid chip reader, and how is it sticking out of the top? Did you drill an additional hole?
How did you attach the stripes to each other. I assume you used glue and clamped them but I don’t see that being very sturdy.
I'm thinking the same thing??
Wood glue if clamped and applied properly is actually incredibly strong. It would be fine if used in this way since there is no force applied to the individual pieces.
Great build...!!! What CNC machine are you using..? I'm thinking of getting into this area of woodworking...
Hey thanks! Checkout inventables.com!
@@keystonewoodworx4544 Cool...Thanks for the information...!!!
Very well done, have you ever done one that was inset into the wall?
Thanks! Someone said that before in the comments. I think that would be a sweet idea and conceal the depth a bit more!
@@keystonewoodworx4544 I guess you would just need to make a 15" (or whatever it is) unit so it will fit in between studs and then mount it to those studs from the side.
@@keystonewoodworx4544 use the inset for a mirror. Easily 6 foot tall. And deep enough for long guns, ammo, etc
@@jmorzuchable you can also cut a stud to have a wider space. The frame would replace any structural strength lost
Whats the link u bought the foam & key card
Are you using the single 1x12x10 for the project or is it one for the frame and one for the Flag?
Yessir
Ok so one board for flag and one for the cabinet? Very confused on that part. Otherwise, kick ass video man!
Great video very informative! The music was completely annoying though lol
Super cool!
How did you cut the foam? should have shown that in your vid :)
Patience lol
How did you cut the foam to fit the gun and hold it tightly?
Use a razor and peel in layers
I love the idea but my question is how do you get into it if you let batteries die?
Ya dont
With that style of hinge does the door close flush against the case or is there a gap?
Wow! That's a great-looking project. I have one question: what happens when the RFID battery dies? Does the lock have a backup?
I am wondering the same.
The one I purchased to build mine is not kid friendly. When battery is low it’s supposed to give a long warning beep after you open lid. If you’re not around and battery does deplete enough lock releases and lid opens. Came home one day to ammo cabinet wide open. Mine does have power cable if I wanted to power it from house
Nice job! Where did you get the CNC machine?
Thanks! Checkout inventables.com
Thanks for sharing, I loved this, what model X-Carve is that for the wood CNC?
You bet! It’s the 1000 xcarve
Do you have som link's for the RFID lock, motion sensor light, and self opening struts...?? Nice vid. by the way...! ;)
I would have fit the box in to an alcove in the wall. Overall outstanding job. Love it
That’s a good idea! Thank you!
How many of what size boards did you use?
