Its been a while since I posted a video due to ..... well life haha. But I have been in the shop, busy building as I hope you are. This video is short and an add on video for my flag building series. Its for a template that I developed to assist and speed up dramatically the assembly of the rustic Flag. This is a must have for anyone building this type of flag. Enjoy, subscribe PLEASE, like and comment. Those actions really have a huge effect on how well a video does, which helps me continue to make content. As always, Keep it Real!

All safety should be used when working with tools or around a shop. I may not always follow proper safety rules, but you should always do so. I am in no way a model for safety and cannot be viewed as the how to guy. Do what you are comfortable doing and nothing more.

thank you, i have couple of your templates.makes my job a lot easyer.thank brett
This looks great man! Good idea!
I just now ordered the medium star template, thanks.
Chris Saltiban that’s great man I appreciate it. I know you will love it.
Looking forward to getting started building these with your “system.” Keep up the good work!
Bruce Whitman I’m glad you ordered it. It really works great and that’s from experience using it. Feel free to let us know how it goes and post pics.
Another great video! Still wanting a template that you can run the dremel along for the etched out stars since CNC is so darned expensive.
Great idea, I'll be ordering soon.
Thanks
You won’t regret it. And I’ll get it out ASAP.
Hey brother amazing craftsmanship and the jig is amazing Im looking at ordering one here in the near future. I myself am a army vet and the American flag brings a fulfilling true heart felt love to my life knowing the honor, pride, and selfless sacrifice so many have endured and will endure in the future fighting for this great nation. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and pride in your great work. God bless
sean Olszewski thanks man. I agree with the feelings of the flag. You will love the template. It makes it go so much quicker and easier.
Great videos! I just ordered my first template and stars for my next flag project. My first flag turned out great with out a star template but I think I am cross eyed now with out using a template..lol
My next flag is for my Navy buddy I served with who is battling cancer but doing great and should cheer him up even more! Cheers!!
dan parsons brother that’s awesome. You will be blown away with how much easier it is to do the union. It will be done in like 5 minutes or less.
I am also Sheriff's Deputy along with selling these type flags, small world. Your stars look good I will be ordering some. Thank you for the video and keep safe.
That’s awesome. Thanks for your service brother. Glad you like them.
Nice I'm making a 36Lx26Wx1" thick flag at the moment wish u posted this video 4 days ago I ordered a stencil from Amazon 4 days ago "/ if it dont work out or if it is crap I'll get ahold if u
and get one of urs for sure! Happy holidays bro!
Brother my question is why the hell haven’t I seen any videos from you!!! Miss your style! Really glad to her from you and yeah making this thing was a god send. It literally is a game changer!!!
Hey what torch do you use?
Great videos! Bought some stars and made a couple of flags, but I'm definitely buying the template now that I've seen how time consuming placing those stars properly can be. Question: How much wood glue are you using on each star? I'm guessing like a drop in the center, right? Just don't want any sneeze out to deal with around the stars afterwards. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Victor Santana yes just a dab. And the squeeze out of any fries mostly clear. I also use a 23 gauge pin nail in the center.
Do you have a template made out of plastic, that can be used mutiple times for painting on the stars?
I dont. I never have painted my stars but it may be something I make in the future.
I am new to your RUclips videos. Could you explain why you burn the pine boards? I'm not sure of the significance. Thank you.
George Boyle it’s literally just a finishing technique that gives it that rustic look that everyone loves.
great vid, question, you put a nail in each star, dont they show up on stars?
MTZ384 yes a 23 gauge pin nail. You have too on flags that are torched because the glue doesn’t stick well. If using stain or dye then glue is fine.
thankyou so much for your help
How would you suggest selling wooden flags? I've got the "making" part figured out...just wondering how to make some money with my flag-making skills.
Sean Payne maybe try and go to local departments and sell them or craft shows
Congrats on 5k!! I'm thinking of a giveaway to get to 200! Lol
True Allegiance Flag Co nice, I want it!!! Lol
Do you have templates and stars for different sized flags?
Robert Strole I do currently have a smaller one that I will have on my site soon.
What size of nail are you using to secure the stars? Finish nail or brad nail? Awesome videos keep’em coming.
Kevin Davis I use 23 ga pin nails
Thank you for the prompt response. Will be making my first flag soon. Checking out you Etsy page now.
That’s awesome. I would love to see pics when your done! I have bundles and individual items that can fully help with building the flags.
@@DwoodStudios at what length? 5/8 ? Anything longer would come out the back right because the stripes themselves are only 3/4 thick?
Quick question, I purchased your stars, I'm ready to set them up do I have to nail the stars in after gluing or can I just glue them on? Thanks!
Mira Steve it depends. In most cases I do put a .23 gauge Brad nail in the center with glue. If the wood is torched or has finish on it the glue doesn’t stick well. If it’s bare wood or just stain on it then it will stick good with glue alone.
@@DwoodStudios thank you so much. It torched wood but with stain over it. So far they are sticking really well! Thank you! How can we send you a picture?
Mira Steve david@dwood.net
in this particular v.ideo, are the stars painted or are they bare with black on edges from laser cutter? I cant tell
Brian Pruitt in this video they actually aren’t painted. I forgot to paint them and had to go back and do it with some stain after the video.
@@DwoodStudios so at 2:33 in video is before or after you painted them. If it is before, I think it actually looks good that way too. Im going to test it out both ways and see which one I like better.
Brian Pruitt no those are unpainted.
Hey DWood, bought your bundle and love it!! Question... Can you make me a template for smaller flags and smaller stars??
Needing something that'll be a good size flag for a 2 pistol concealed gun cade
Matt Edwards hey thanks for the comment. I actually have a smaller one for sale using 5/8 inch stars. I will get the exact measurements soon and I can do some custom sized templates and stars if you need. Just message me the dimensions on Instagram or my website.
@@DwoodStudios 10-4! I go on days off in a couple of days and I'll message ya which one it is that already got from you and some demensions of what I would need for the smaller flags. I wanna say it's be somewhere around 10" X 7" but I'll make sure! Thanks buddy!
@@mattedwards6200 I have the smaller one listed in my etsy shop at www.dwood.net now. The union dimensions are 7.5 x 5.3 inches with a 5/8 inch star. Let me know if you need something different and I will see what I can do.
@@DwoodStudios oh I see it now!! Thanks buddy!!
How come it says 0.00 when I go to buy The American flag plans?
What do you use to hide the pin nail in the stars?
Larry Schmitt I don’t do anything. You can barely see it and kind of adds to the rustic handmade look. No one ever has complained. I also lightly hit the stars with a torch also which shares the stars which can hide the holes slightly.
Thanks !
So your template for 19.5” x 37” flags used 1.25” stars or 1.50” stars? TY
It is 1.25 stars. There is a diagram on my website if you look in the pictures for the template that show you the different size flags and the correct application.
@@DwoodStudios - Thanks bother, just now saw that. Appreciate the help.
how do you calculate the union, stars and length when making these flags you have a system or calculator?
Michael Giebler I did the calculations myself off the official flag size of the United States. But you can go on Google and search for flag calculator and figure out if you need to mention you would like
@@DwoodStudios I found the calculator but it gives off some crazy measure you can find on a ruler or tape measure. Ohhh well I'll figure something out
Michael Giebler hmmm. It’s works for me in fractions. Make sure your on the right one. Type “flag calculator” in google. First one up says inch calculator. Simply enter the full length of the desired flag, or either the height. And it will calculate everything. If that doesn’t work go look at my templates I sell on my website and there is a pic with the dimensions to the flags that my templates fit which are the most common sizes people make.
Hi. Don't know if this helps you or not. I Use the template and carve my stars with a dremel. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P7TGGPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1
What bundle do I choose for this exact same size and for some stars ???
OIncer if you go to my website it will be the “Size 1.25”.
Sounds good ! I put in an order this morning
Thank you. Should be in the mail
Your stars were amazing. Had to place another order just now for 500 more !
OIncer awesome. I’m glad you like them. I’ll have them out to you ASAP!
What branch were you in?
I never was in the military. I really wish I had made the decision to become a part of our armed forces, instead I became a Sheriff's Deputy which I still work in my full time job as.
Well, thank you for doing what you do. Both in your full time job and your videos. Be safe out there.
Michael Fredericks my uncle Mickey was a See Bee in WW2 on Kwajalein, Tinian, and Saipan.
The market in my area is completely saturated with wooden flags. They're in every flea market and antique mall in a 50 mile radius. I even saw one at Goodwill two weeks ago.
Chris Denney my suggestion is to step up your game and be unique like many people I help get started. Unique designs, shapes, and pizazz. Come on you can make it different and better.
@@DwoodStudios I don't make them. I work to much to churn out flags. I do mostly farmhouse style dining tables and live edge coffee tables. I make maybe 2 pieces a month tops.
David I bought the shape poco XXL and I have tried 15 different programs to make the flags to make the stars in the flag every single one I do I have a problem with the biggest problem is one leg of the star is always shorter than the others I was playing the word I make sure that the table is perfectly flat with the router what the hell am I doing wrong? Can I mean I use three or four different star programs that I’ve gotten off the Internet from various sites and that seems to be the problem with all of them now that leads me to think there’s a problem with my machine but I can’t find it I mean it’s absolutely dead level and square? I mean it’s possible that the different programs that I’ve gotten from the Internet we’re all just copied from the first one and I’ve tried to make my own stars and right now a month then that’s above my pay grade 🤔 I’m using the car by create program Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you
Sounds like your machine is not trammed flat. i bet the leg short is always the same side. Other possibility i would think of is the material isnt exact equal thickness across.
I use a vinyl stencil and it always bleeds under no matter what help
jeremy smith yeah that’s always a sad issue. This template is for actual 3 d cut out wood stars. But ok the vinyl template you may try laying it out and using modge podge over it to seal it.
Modge podg ?
I am curious the American flag is red white and blue many people have gave their life for these colors am I right?
Alow Miles yes they have. And they are hero’s for this amazing country.
Yes I feel the same way and it makes me sad to be an American and see so many disrespect the red white and blue by changing the color of our flag to me it is the same as burning our flag or disrespecting it in other ways
My comment is not about how you made your flags your flags are made for in house it looks like my comment is about ones who fly the flag in public it should only be red white and blue
Alow Miles I’m sorry you fee that way. But the flags that are not red white and blue are decorative flags. These are not national American flags. If every flag that resembled an American Flag was disrespectful then the same people that defend this country would be guilty of this for the different color patches of American flags on their uniforms, like drab green and tan and black. These flags are not being displayed as a representation of America. They are decor in much the same way as many other things that are changed slightly to show support.
@@DwoodStudios I feel if it is in public eye it should respect America I see nothing wrong with having it the way you want it in house that is every American right but if you are in the public it should only be the true American flag if you represent America what you do in your own house is totally your rights I am not saying this to be disrespectful but I am a true American to fly a different color American flag in public is the same as relieving yourself on the people who fought for the flag of the red white and blue I love our service men and woman keep America America only one color the true color I mean no disrespect to anyone but please if it is out side in public eye respect the red white and blue
Nice Flags, except for the fake one with the blue line

D-wood I’m looking for an very small stencil of the canton. Like 3x5 approximately. I’d have to do some number crunching to get the ratio right but would that be possible?
Brads Workbench of the canton? Please send me a message on one of my social media’s such as instagram, Facebook, or email at dwoodmaker@gmail.com. A little easier to respond those ways.
So it's not against the law to make these flags. That blue line through the flag is not cool 🤘
woodbooger603 Shitty Smitty no I don’t believe it is. The blue line or any other color flag is not the official American Flag. It is different and represents support for a specific group of people. Therefor it is not a representation of “America”. It is a supportive decor piece to show independent support for a group. I am a very strong patriot to my country and would never desecrate something that represents America. Thank you for your opinion though, and I apologize if you are offended by it. I however will not change my stance based on the few believing it is something it’s not. I don’t buy into the scheme in this country of holding the majority to a standard based on a few being offended. If it was determined by some higher power that it was in violation then I will respect that.
@@DwoodStudios 👍 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was just asking because I didn't know!!! 🍺🇺🇸😎
@@DwoodStudios Well said sir.
I love this channel so please start posting on rumble. I'm moving away from this communistic platform AND I encourage all freedom loving Americans that haven't made $ their god to do the same...peace
Thanks. I haven’t heard of rumble. May look into it.
@@DwoodStudios bitchute is another great alternative.
They ned more diy woodworking channels desperately. ...could be a game changr
@@Tommy-es4hp just made one. I’ll give it a try
@@DwoodStudios I'll CK it out!
Bitchute is a little smoother video experience generally speaking.
both platforms are growing but starving for woodworking
@@Tommy-es4hp well I started to and stopped. I found why content creators don’t use it. You sign away your rights to rumble to use the videos how they see fit as their own content on RUclips and Facebook. Basically stealing content and paying the creator almost nothing.
