For the stars... I use a dremel on mine, I use the flex shaft attachment and it makes things a bit easier. 1. Find a stencil on Amazon for like $10 (you can make your own if you have a Cricut machine) 2. I spray a light coat of white paint, just enough to make it trace onto the board 3. Start my outline with the tool. My recommendation on this.. don’t do each star individually. Find yourself a good angle on the board and do all those edges first. Rotate the flag and do the other edges of the stars. That will keep you most consistent. 4. Start carving out the rest of the stars. Now just as with the edging on step 3. Do the same carving here. Depending on your angle carve out a few triangles and then rotate to cut the rest of the triangles in the star 5. Switch the tip to a grinding stone. It’s shaped like a bullet. Do all the stars which acts like a sander but it will also allow you to correct your lines/edges on all the stars. It looks great, trust me!! Then finish it off with whatever clear coat you want. To each their own. You can take the easy way and just spray the stars on but to me it just takes away from what it could really look like...Beautiful! WARNING ⚠️. I can say that it is about 1 min per star overall and with continuous use of the dremel tool. Your arm will feel numb for the next day or so. Take breaks if you have too. On another note, I do have a blower attachment that goest on the fleet shaft. That goes on first and then your bit. It will blow out all your dust away. it’s optional GOOD LUCK!!
I wish I could post a pic your instructions are great I built one and it came out great I put the blue, green, red lines as well as added dowels to turn it into a challenge coin display. Thank you for your videos popo
Very beautiful work, and very well explained. The only issue I had was at 4:20, I was scared to death you were gonna cut your fingers off. This is the first video I have saw of yours, and other than that I thought it was awesome!
Ive made mine similar, but with thinner strips (3/8). I can get one 19 x 37 flag from one 2x4. But I like the thicker strips like this much better. I'm going to try this method on my next flag. Thanks, you do great work.
Hi Great videos. I like your projects Im starting to get in to wood working more now. I've seen your VA licenses plates in previous videos. I noticed that you had a Chesapeake shirt on? I live in the Driver area of Suffolk. Small world
Small hand torch does take time, I have started using big torch that I bought at harbor freight, it hooks up to a big bottle. Makes big projects not so big.
I don't currently own a torch. Was looking at the BernzOmatic Trigger-Start Model #TS4000KC or its bigger brother the Model #TS8000KC. Any idea which one would be a better fit for this kind of use?
You got it done to set pattern now Po Po. As my Paw Paw would say “now your thinking with your thinker”. There are many sayings one could say about the way you have jigs set up but in the end it saves time and effort plus your productivity is at the highest. Great job Po Po and what an honor to see the hard work you out on to the most wonderful flag in the world. Congrats for making a beautiful piece or art.
Robert Lucas Yes, I have a couple of videos on my channel talking about making the decals and applying them. Here’s a link to one I did for another flag. ruclips.net/video/5W10p4bJbvs/видео.html
Patriots1645 I have to do another union on a flag, I’ll be doing that in the next few days. I’ll do a quick video of the stencil start to finish and post it for you.
After you cut your strips to 5/8" do you plain them again to make sure the cut thickness is also even and if you do what thickness do you end up with? Thanks.
I usually plain them before I rip them. Once I rip them down I go ahead and put the flag together. It’s usually around 5/8 sometimes just a hair smaller.
I didn't fully understand how to get the vinyl stickers to actually stick...did you apply the poly, let it dry and then simply apply the vinyl? Or is there an additional method? TIA, Chris
Chris Manor yes, I put a heavy coat of poly on it and let it dry. Then I sanded the area where you will place the vinyl with 220 grit sand paper. Then I placed the vinyl stencil on. The smooth poly will help the vinyl stick a lot better.
Do you sand the burned wood after it cools to remove the loose dust before you do another work? I have noticed that if you don't that a lot of the residue comes of on your hands, clothing, etc. Thanks.
Mike Ledee yes! As soon as I get done burning I go ahead and sand it down. It will still come off a little until you get the first coat of clear on it.
Howard Prince I found some online that were close to the original badges. Copied them into my silhouette studio and drew the rest by hand with the mouse. It takes a while but once you get it done you can save it for future uses
Jim Blaskewicz I don’t have a file, I just drew the stars out myself. The stars for that size flag should be 1.1 inch. If you have a cameo just trace a star out and size it to 1.1 inch then duplicate as many as you need. I placed them where I thought they looked right, then went from top to bottom and centered each row. Then went from side to side on each row and used the middle adjust to line them up that way. Hope this helps!
Trippintim05 if it’s gonna be used inside I use polyurethane clear gloss by minwax. If it’s gonna be in the sun or outside I use clear gloss polycrylic
One question, I used a hammer and chisel and it came out really rustic and awesome for the stars, took a loooonnnnggg time, I have a dremel, are your stars even or are they uneven due too the dremel jumping?

Ryan Milne if you have a local hobby lobby they have star stencils available if you just wanted to use stars. Or if you have a local decal shop you could tell them what you wanted and what size you need and use that to get your design.
I am lost about the stars. Is it a decal? Does it stay on? Do you paint the stars then remove the decal? Where can I buy the decal? Questions questions please help
frehleycomet what I do is I make a stencil with my silhouette cameo decal machine. So other words it’s like a decal but I stick it on the flag, then paint the stars on and remove the decal. Once the paint dries I put 3-4 coats of poly over the entire flag covering the paint also. Hobby Lobby in my area sells star stencils. Maybe you could check with them if you don’t have a decal machine
Just thinking about this but if you plane the tops and bottoms of the 2x4s how do you have a 1 1/2 in stripe? Is it more like 1 1/4? Great work BTW. Diggin that outside border!
John Gordon If I was going to put it outside I would use polycrylic and cover the entire flag. Polyurethane will yellow after being weathered. The polycrylic will not. It’s made for outdoor usage.
I am starting to make these myself, aside from what's in the video what other advise would you have for a beginner? A major problem I am having is getting all my boards to rip straight, I end up with gaps and end up throwing away half my wood. I'm also in VA! NOVA area.
Surviving703 I rip mine out of a 2x4. Before I rip them I run them through my planer and plane about 1/8 inch off both sides, (wide side). Then What I do is I set the table saw up to shave just a hair off of one end. Then I use that flat side against the fence so every cut after will be smooth and straight. (A keeper) lol.The wide side of the 2x4 is the side that butts up against each other on the flag. That insures that the thickness will be the same to help on your gap issues.....hope this helps!
Surviving703 also, if the 2x4 is warped it will mess the flag up unless you have a jointer which I don’t. So, it’s a pain in the a** but I pick through the stack until I find the straightest boards.
waterboy01440 If I was gonna put it outside I would use polycrylic to cover the front and the back. (Not polyurethane). Polycrylic is made for outdoor uses like protecting furniture and such.
Viviane Nobre I actually have someone that wants a color flag. I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t been able to get in the shop lately. I will be building it soon and will do a video for ya!
Leonidas I made a stencil with my vinyl cutter and then painted the design on. Once paint was almost dry I removed the vinyl decal then used polyurethane and covered it with 4 coats
tyler Tsai I purchased a “BernzOmatic High-Intensity Trigger-Start Head Handheld Head” from Lowe’s. It runs off of the 1lb propane tanks and does really good! It lasts a while too.
Mike Ledee I made a template out of MDF board and payed them on that. When I put the braces on the back of the flag I used a hammer and tapped all the strips flat before I nailed the support to the back. I did that with each support.
El Chapo Guzman Pudo! If the 2x4’s are in good shape, it will take (2) 8ft 2x4’s. It takes 20 strips total, 13 for the flag, 4 for the Frame, and 4 for the back supports. That’s getting 5 strips per 2x4 when ripped on the table saw.
Tim Rice You would have to make the frame bigger so it would be deeper. Then add some hinges where you would want it to open and make the back Side solid.
What is the total dimensions of the flag. I like the union size that you did, I am trying to figure out the total dimensions. I am sure if I try to guess. It will not come out right!
I have asked a few others how much these products cost and I have gotten no response from anyone.It does look like you are in the selling market so maybe I can get a response from you, do you have a price list of the various ones you offer?? Your products so far have looked the best but I may not want mine that dark, I have to see what my better half says.
Levi Boyd I make the union graphic with a vinyl decal. I use the decal as a stencil and paint the graphic on them poly over them. Planing, I just plane them down enough to get all the bad spots out of the wood so that it’s even. Counting both sides prolly around 1/4 inch
Terry Bartley yes that’s right. The first coat of poly helps the stencil/decal stick better. Also keep the decal from pulling small pieces of wood up when you remove it. Once the stars are painted on, I apply 3 to 4 more coats of poly.
Nice video! Just be a little bit more careful with your hands by the blade when you’re explaining stuff you came quite close don’t wanna lose any fingers. Keep the videos coming man!
Yep, I actually do have one now that hooks to the big propane tank. It’s a lot faster but you have to be more careful with it because it burns really fast lol.
4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag (a) “Whoever knowingly casts contempt upon any flag of the United States by publicly mutilating, defacing, defiling, burning, or trampling upon it shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.” (g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. (J) The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.
I feel that putting any logo especially a business logo on the field of an American flag.. is very disrespectful. Would you salute that flag? That is NOT the flag I served under.
This is desecration of the flag, and in violation of United States Flag Code. Ironic that an attempt to be patriotic is the opposite, especially with the signs, advertisements, shields, insignias, and stripes.
Pat Burt But it’s not really a “flag”. It is an image of a flag on wood. It would be different if somebody put a logo on an actual American Flag they were flying. I was curious about this and read the code too.

Like always beautiful project. I'm a recent subscriber and I love all your videos. I have learned alot from you.
I've watched far too many flag build videos. Yours is the best by far.
Some fine ideas in this video, good work. Thank you.

I thought that same exact thing
Same. I thought his knuckles we're toast

Very nice work.
This is awsome keep it up!
A little tip apply a coat of waterborne poly on your stencil it will seal to prevent bleed

Darrell Allen thanks!
Nice" I'm going to make a few too..
Might try this with the dye’s, get some reds and blues in there shoi sugi ban style. 😳
Great video.When and how do you apply the stripe to your flags?
Use a wire brush forget the sandpaper then wash the wood to clean off the soot. Wire brush for sale at Harbor Freight.
Nice.....
Haha this is awesome! I just now seen this channel and I'm impressed with the work. Do you make flags that look like they're blowing in the wind?
Matthew Marino I haven’t done any of those yet.
Great Job. When you plane the wood how does that affect the 1.5" thickness you need to make the union? How much do you shave off? Thanks.
Mike Ledee I only shave a hair off both sides. Just enough to give it a nice looking edge.
I don't currently own a torch. Was looking at the BernzOmatic Trigger-Start Model #TS4000KC or its bigger brother the Model #TS8000KC. Any idea which one would be a better fit for this kind of use?
That the kind I have that I’m using now, I love it!
You mentioned putting down of Poly before during the stars. Was that a spray coat or brush on? Great video

Mike Ledee yes! As soon as I get done burning I go ahead and sand it down. It will still come off a little until you get the first coat of clear on it.
Where did you find the union file for your cameo? I haven't been able to find one.
@@anne-mariepfligler2280 I made my own.
Great video ... I’m in law enforcement how did you get the badges for the union. I would like to make one with my department badge. Thanks.
Howard Prince I found some online that were close to the original badges. Copied them into my silhouette studio and drew the rest by hand with the mouse. It takes a while but once you get it done you can save it for future uses
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
What is the layout size for the stars without the design in the middle? Do you have a file for the cameo available?
Jim Blaskewicz I don’t have a file, I just drew the stars out myself. The stars for that size flag should be 1.1 inch.

This question might have been asked already, but what kind of poly coat do you use?
Trippintim05 if it’s gonna be used inside I use polyurethane clear gloss by minwax. If it’s gonna be in the sun or outside I use clear gloss polycrylic
I noticed that most of the flags you make are torched not many with red, white and blue any reason for this? Thanks.
Mike Ledee Believe it or not that’s what everyone wants.
One question, I used a hammer and chisel and it came out really rustic and awesome for the stars, took a loooonnnnggg time, I have a dremel, are your stars even or are they uneven due too the dremel jumping?
rebas04 they are actually painted on. I made a stencil then painted them on, then covered them with 4 coats of poly
I use a dremel on mine, I use the flex shaft attachment and it makes things a bit easier.
1. Find a stencil on Amazon for like $10 (you can make your own if you have a Cricut machine)
2. I spray a light coat of white paint, just enough to make it trace onto the board

To each their own. You can take the easy way and just spray the stars on but to me it just takes away from what it could really look like...Beautiful! WARNING ⚠️. I can say that it is about 1 min per star overall and with continuous use of the dremel tool. Your arm will feel numb for the next day or so. Take breaks if you have too.
On another note, I do have a blower attachment that goes on the flex shaft. That goes on first and then your bit. It will blow out all your dust away. it’s optional

What kind of torch do you use sir ? And is it propane? Or oxygen?
@@ravenXcozmo at 11:30 it appears to be propane.
Are cutting a vinyl stencil and then painting the stars on the board or are you cutting decals and applying them to the board?
Richard Wood I use the vinyl cutter to make the stencil, then paint the design on, and poly over top of it so it’ll never come off
Just to be clear, you are taking the vinyl stencil off after painting and before poly? :)
Just thinking about this but if you plane the tops and bottoms of the 2x4s how do you have a 1 1/2 in stripe? Is it more like 1 1/4? Great work BTW. Diggin that outside border!
Ron Vickers yeah I guess it would be because I only plane just a hair off both sides to make them smooth.
are the backs of the flags painted with a poly if they will be outside
John Gordon If I was going to put it outside I would use polycrylic and cover the entire flag. Polyurethane will yellow after being weathered. The polycrylic will not. It’s made for outdoor usage.

What length brads do you use? Thanks again.
Mike Ledee I use 1 inch
Do these things stand up to outdoor weather if I want to put one outside
waterboy01440 If I was gonna put it outside I would use polycrylic to cover the front and the back. (Not polyurethane). Polycrylic is made for outdoor uses like protecting furniture and such.
You'd probably have to finish it with spar varnish.
Loooooove the video I wish you do a color flag just to see the materials you will use and if the process are the same

Beautiful flags! Do you buy or make the different stencils?
I made the stencils with my silhouette cameo craft cutter
How did you put the stencil symbols on the union??

Would love to see a video on how to make the stencil!
These are awesome do you sell them?
Does anyone know what kind of blow torch works for charring wood? I can’t seem to find a small handheld torch that will get hot enough
tyler Tsai I purchased a “BernzOmatic High-Intensity Trigger-Start Head Handheld Head” from Lowe’s. It runs off of the 1lb propane tanks and does really good! It lasts a while too.
Popo's Woodworks thank you so much!
How do you keep your strip planks flat on the front? Thanks

Nice work. If you can share, what do you charge for those ?
Jim Nottingham I sell them with just the stars for $120. If they want them personalized they are $150
What kind of wood is that, pine?
liz orr Yep, made out of regular 2x4 studs
How do I contact you? like to order one
What kind of "poly" do you use? Is it good for outdoor also?
Pontiacblueg6 I used polyurethane on this one, if you wanna put it outside you need to use polycrylic
@@PoposWoodworks great video! Thanks
Awesome video .. How many 2 x4 's too make 1 ?
El Chapo Guzman Pudo! If the 2x4’s are in good shape, it will take (2) 8ft 2x4’s. It takes 20 strips total, 13 for the flag, 4 for the Frame, and 4 for the back supports. That’s getting 5 strips per 2x4 when ripped on the table saw.
Thumbs up for that name! " El Chapo Guzman Pudo" 😂
Where did you get the badge template from?
Kevin Whitley I took a photo of our departments badge and uploaded to my design program to draw it out.
What kind of torch is that? It works way better than the one I have!
Forest Macquarrie It is the (BernzOmatic TS8000 High-Intensity Trigger-Start Handheld Torch Head) from Lowe’s.
@@PoposWoodworks thanks!!!
Could this be use as a concealed weapon case
Tim Rice You would have to make the frame bigger so it would be deeper. Then add some hinges where you would want it to open and make the back Side solid.
@@PoposWoodworks Thank you for the information. Beautiful work. True craftmanship
What is the total dimensions of the flag. I like the union size that you did, I am trying to figure out the total dimensions.
I am sure if I try to guess. It will not come out right!
tpnate68 without the boarder or frame...it is 19 1/2 inches wide and 37 inches long.
tpnate68 Try this web site out...www.usflag.org/flagspecs.html ...it gives you the dimensions you need for what size you are making.
How do you do all the different Unions?
qball9799 I use a silhouette cameo to cut the design out of vinyl. Then use it as a stencil to paint the graphic on
Good morning, what's the dimension per strip and what is the dimension for where the stars go? What color blue did you use and what kind is it?

How much you charge to make someone one
Courvoisier White I charge $150 for the custom flag, $120 for just stars in the union
Good stuff but where was the stencil of the stars?
Lee E I have a separate video on my channel of how I make the stencils for the flags with a vinyl cutter.
@@PoposWoodworks Okay thanks.
Are you using spray poly or wipe on?
Marcus DeBoard I’m using the brush on poly. It’s in the quart size can and I use the clear gloss kind.
Thanks. I figured as much but I just wanted to make sure. Amazing work, brother!
How much do you sell them for
Andy Valdez Around $160-$190 depending on the customization
I find that 1 1/4 brads work better.
Also what thickness are you planing them to?
Levi Boyd I make the union graphic with a vinyl decal. I use the decal as a stencil and paint the graphic on them poly over them. Planing, I just plane them down enough to get all the bad spots out of the wood so that it’s even. Counting both sides prolly around 1/4 inch
you lost me at the very end. Did you say after you torch them you add a coat of poly before painting on the stars?
Terry Bartley yes that’s right. The first coat of poly helps the stencil/decal stick better. Also keep the decal from pulling small pieces of wood up when you remove it. Once the stars are painted on, I apply 3 to 4 more coats of poly.
@@PoposWoodworks Thank you
How many 2x4s did you buy for this flag
Ethan Lamberson I bought (3) 2x4x8ft
@@PoposWoodworks how did you get 13 pieces of wood out of the three 2x4s
@@ethanlamberson289 Each strip is .625" x 1.5" x 37", you can get 8 pieces out of each 2 x 4
Nice video! Just be a little bit more careful with your hands by the blade when you’re explaining stuff you came quite close don’t wanna lose any fingers. Keep the videos coming man!
Where do you get the vinyl decals?
Levi Boyd I have a silhouette cameo vinyl cutter and make my own decals/stencils.
Popo's Woodworks what are the dimensions of the flag?
4:18 Holy Cow. Try to keep the fingers.
I know this a older video so maybe you have thought this up by now, get you a weed burner if you are going to do so many at once
Great video BTW
Yep, I actually do have one now that hooks to the big propane tank. It’s a lot faster but you have to be more careful with it because it burns really fast lol.
jesus christ ,man! I about lost my mind at ruclips.net/video/pSDMVyWRohI/видео.html
I thought the same thing!!! Every bone in my body was screaming when I seen how closely his hands were moving near the running blade
THE FLAG IS RED WHITE and BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Orvel & Carolyn Witt
These color flags are actually supposed to show support for our law enforcement
It's a subdued flag.
I couldn’t agree More respect it
The flag's also not wood, so what?
You'd have less waste if you bought 10' 2X4's
4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag
(a)
“Whoever knowingly casts contempt upon any flag of the United States by publicly mutilating, defacing, defiling, burning, or trampling upon it shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.”
(g)
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(J)
The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.
Pretty sure respect for that law went right out the window in the Vietnam era.
Nice video except the stripe under the union is a white stripe. It give the union a real border.
I feel that putting any logo especially a business logo on the field of an American flag.. is very disrespectful.
Would you salute that flag? That is NOT the flag I served under.
What terrible English. Did you spray or brush on a coat of Poly before you did the stars
Jim Hamilton I brushed a coat on before the adding the stars, then brushed on 3 more coats after. I use a synthetic brush to put on poly.
Why deface the American flag?
You are right--especially the blue stripe and insignias and shields added. Totally in violation of the United States Flag Code.
Look up the Flag Code again. This is technically NOT a flag and in no way a violation of the flag code.
Two fast very confusing. You skipped many parts
I was loving that, until you showed it with the blue line, That’s not a flag.
... what is it then?
SHIT
Why do you have a problem with the people who would risk their life to save yours
Jeff Toulson my same exact sentiment
Riley Ober because the line represents “Division”. Is that simple.
This is desecration of the flag, and in violation of United States Flag Code. Ironic that an attempt to be patriotic is the opposite, especially with the signs, advertisements, shields, insignias, and stripes.
Pat Burt But it’s not really a “flag”. It is an image of a flag on wood. It would be different if somebody put a logo on an actual American Flag they were flying.
I was curious about this and read the code too.
@Pat Burt, you are a funny one! You also have no idea about what the hell you are talking about! Go away troll!
Pound sand douche
A subdued flag is not a desecration
@pat burt👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
