American Flag Concealment Coffee Table

- When a friend of mine saw that I had created some wooden rustic American Flags, he approached me with the idea of a Concealment Coffee table with the theme of my rustic American Flag. Another friend overheard the conversation and he decided he couldn't be left out and wanted one too.

How to do it yourself:
I'll try my best to give the materials and measurements if you're interested in making one of these yourself.
1.The Flag top: The flag top measures 48"x26" and is made mostly of 1x6 material. Each stripe is made of a 2" wide strip that is 48" Long. I glued the stipes to a panel of 1/4" material. And the union was made from a board that was a 21/32" glued panel. All of this was purchased at the Home Depot. There were some cutoffs from the 1x6's that I think I used as the border after the flag ends were trimmed with the circular saw. I just glued and pin nailed in the boarder with 1 1/4" 16 gauge nails. The Union stencil acted as my template for the dimensions of the Union rectangle. I purchased a multi size pack of union stencils on Amazon. This one was the biggest in the pack and measured roughly 20" x 14".
2. The Box: The Box was made of 2x6's and 3/4" plywood for the bottom. I mentioned the bottom dimensions in the video and I think it was 21"x 42". For the 2x6 sides, it doesn't matter which side overlaps the other but I think I was the long side match the 42" so the short side would add the 3" in width from the butted other sides to be 24". Maybe I got that backwards...but it doesn't matter. I used the R3 pocket hold jig by Kregg to drill the pocket holes in the bottom. I set the jig and the bit to 3/4" to match the material and used 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. Be sure to keep the bottom flush with the frame while screwing the pocket holes. A clamp helps keep it from sagging. I used 2 1/2" screws for the butt joints on the fame of the box. I drilled pilot holes to prevent splitting.
3. The legs: The legs were simple 2x6's cut to 20". Once, cut to size, I I set my table saw to 45 degrees and mitered one side of each board. I cut a the groove for the spline with 1/4" spiral upcut bit on my router table. I bought the upcut bit on amazon. Once, glued and splined, I pinned them with 2" 16 gauge pin nails to hold while the glue dried. I attached the box to the legs from the inside of the box using 2 1/2 " screws again. I made sure to glue the legs on also.
4. The Bottom shelf: The rails for the bottom shelf were 2x2s from the Home depot. The shelf pieces were 1x6's. I set my table saw to 3/4" to cut the rabbet. I passed it on two sides. Had to adjust it to cut it the rest of the way. The lengths of the 2x2 were just a mirror of the box sides. I screwed the rails on with 1 1/4" screwsand then glued and pinned the shelf boards independently of each other.
Stains: I used Varathane Special Walnut for the body and Dark Walnut for the bottom shelf and top border. The Flag has Barn Red, Worn Navy and Antique White. The first responder flag used Espresso but I would recommend Ebony if you want it black. You could even use an acrylic paint over the Ebony if you want a true black. You can get all these stains from the Home Depot.

I've found this to be the best union stencils kits. it's hard to find the right size for a 48 inch flag but this kit had what you need.
Hope this helps.

Lol loved the singing and your teddy bear friends
Ha! Those pigs are still my kids favorite things. They rarely leave home without them😂
@@wooddoofus 😂😂😂😂 so cute
This just popped up in my recommended. I am now here for the long haul.
Thanks for checking it out!
As someone who watches way more woodworking videos than completing actual projects, I can say yours are the best. Great job man!
Thanks Buddy! I hope you are doing well.
Great job! One of these is on my list to make, I just need to get after it
Thanks and Good luck! If you ever get one made I'd love to see a picture. You can message a pic through my fb business page in the description.
Just found your channel it’s really awesome love your product Hope you continue to make videos they are really really great thanks a lot for doing what you do for those of us that need that brought up
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
Good job - on the table and the video.
Thank you! And thanks for checking it out.
I just found out about your RUclips channel and I just have to say awesome job
Thanks for checking out the channel!
Awesome thank you !!!
Thanks for watching!
Nice job sir 👍
thank you, friend!
Can't think of a better way to waste my time at work.
Hey This is Adam's son and you are a bozo!
Hehe. I told them to tie that.
Excellent video! Just a quick question, for the backer board on the flag, did you use 1/4 plywood? And if so, did you customize the border around the flag to cover both the backer board and the flag on the edges? Thanks!
Yes. Backer board is in the 1/4 inch category although it's most likely thinner than a true quarter inch. But either way, I did customize the edge trim to cover both the flag edge and the backer edge. Thanks for watching!
I just came across this and loved how you did it. Im trying to make one of these for my high school shop class but I can’t find anything on the type of drawer slides I need could you tell we where you got yours or what type they are?
Wow, hard to find a high school with a shop class!. I know I bought the soft close drawer slides from the Home Depot but I'm not quite sure what length. It must be 18" or 20". I was worried about having such a heavy door hanging off the back too far so I feel like I went with 18". Thanks for watching!
I just bought one like this but the information on their site is:
Outside Dimensions are 52”x 22" standing 19" off the ground.
Inside dimensions are 46"x19"x4.5".
Comes with Biometric Lock that can save up to 20 finger prints. Unit includes customizable 1" kaizen foam. Comes with USB cord if the battery Dies.
Cost me $699.00
OK now back to watching the Super Bowl.
Cool! That's a good price. I charged less for these but only bc I had not made any before and they were for a couple friends. Enjoy the Football!
I lied to you Adam, I really wanted this for my Beyblades and Yu-gi-oh cards.
Nice job. Just started making flags myself but wanted to make something like this for myself. How deep is the compartment?
The depth of the box ended up being about 4.5 inches. I used 2 inch foam from Carolina Custom Foam online. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
This is awesome great job! Are you able to leave a list of materials, and cut list needed for this project and where you got everything? I would love to try and build one
Sure thing. Next time I'm infront of the computer, I will do my best to jot down the materials and dimensions in the description and I'll let you know. Thanks for checking out the video!
Okay, I did my best to get everything you need to know in the description. But don't be afraid to change things up and make it your own.🙂
@@wooddoofus thank you! For sure. Once I get a visual I’ll probably be making some changes here and there of my own Ideas.
Awesome! Let me know if there's a way you can share a pic when you're done. I'd like to see it.
@@wooddoofus sure thing. I’m working on two flags right now. Once I get those done I’ll try jumping onto this project. I’ve had to wait as its been raining where I live and I dont have a garage to work in lol
You did an amazing job. Can you line the stencil you used for the union?
Okay. I think I just added the best kit available on Amazon to my description. Please click the link in the description and it will go to support my channel. Thanks for watching!
@@wooddoofus thank you for your excellent video and your help with the link.
Where do you get a union stencil that big? I can only do 37 inch and smaller flags, but can’t find a stencil for anything bigger!
I got a variety of sizes in one kit on Amazon. Thanks for checking it out!
O ok thank you, that’s where I got mine but they only had up to 37 but maybe I was looking at the wrong kit, or didn’t look hard enough! Thank you the table looks great!

I found it in my order history. Hope this helps!
You just ordered that whole set and it gave you the stencil for the 48 inch flag?
Yes. The large one was in the set. The sizes are listed in the description. 👍😊
On the subdued firefighter flag it looks like you put only 12 stripes on the flag and not 13.
You're an eagle eyed observer but I promise the final product had 13. In the video, I had to add the last stripe later for reasons I can't quite remember. I think our has something to do with having the wrong size backing/having to improvise. Thanks for watching!
Where can I get the star stencil?
I get mine off of Amazon. There should be a link in the description of my latest video. The one with the flag frame.
Where did you get the foam?
I ordered it from Carolina Custom Foam. They had a lot of options. Thanks for watching!
What size draw slides do you use?
18" or 20" should both work. I think I used 18" so it wouldn't hang off too far.
@@wooddoofus thank you for the response!
@@paulmaffetone6977 no problem. Thanks for watching!
What size slide runner did you use? Also where did you find the lock?
I used 18" soft close drawer slide and I got the lock from Amazon.
@@wooddoofus Thanks! what determined your placement of slide?
I was trying to make sure the top didn't hang off too far when it was fully extended.
How much would you charge to make one for me ?
There's a link to my Facebook business page in the description. I think I listed this one at $600 but right now, I only do local orders. I operate out of Greensboro, NC. If you're close enough to pick it up, you can contact me through the FB page. Thank for watching!
I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING (at 1.5x speed)
Then you saw the post credit scene? Few people will see that.
@@wooddoofus the 27 golden girls? My favorite part!
That's not safe anyone can break lock.
You're right. It's not safe from theft but it isn't designed to be and I I didn't claim it was. No wooden concealment item out there with any type of lock is going to keep someone from giving it a slight tug or just taking the whole thing and sawing it open. This is not a safe. The lock is designed to deter nosy people and curious children. I would never have this around my kids if it had something dangerous in it but I made this for friends that have no kids and don't get kid visitors. All other risks are on them.
@@wooddoofusThere's these locks that are actually look really nice there called smart electronic cabinet locks also how much are you selling them for?
Thanks. I'll have to check those locks out for any future projects. I have this item listed for $600 but I've only made the two in this video. It seems like concealment items have a solid demand, but I don't really want to be the guy that sells them to be honest.
Nice work! However, when making a 'Concealment' piece the whole point of 'Concealment' is to make it look like a normal piece of furniture, the padlock totally gives it away, there are several different ways you could've made that happen.
Thanks, you're right. I will fix it if I ever make anything like this again. So far, I haven't.
Nice looking table, but isn't the idea behind a concealment table is that the compartment is HIDDEN? That lock dangling there is kind of a give away.
Thanks. Yeah, there are some better designs for hiding the compartment. I was just trying to make the contents out of sight and safe (ish). If I ever make another one, I will revaluate the design.
@@wooddoofus There are RFID locks for like $20-$30 that are very discrete
@@nitrojunkie22 those are cool. I've seen some really cool ideas with them since I've made these tables. Thanks!
