That’s a beautiful display case. If you want the best fold for the flag itself, take it to a VFW or a recruiting station and ask them to fold it.

Thanks so much Terri, great advice. Will do!

Sabias palabras de tu abuelo. Seguro que él estaría orgulloso de ver este trabajo tan bien hecho y realizado con ese cariño. Como los echamos de menos... Un saludo desde Barcelona, España. Wise words from your grandfather. Surely he would be proud to see this job so well done and carried out with such love. How we miss them... Greetings from Barcelona, Spain. Translated by Google

Gracias por las amables palabras Roberto! Lo extraño mucho. Saludos desde estados unidos

[@mattpeterson7074]

Beautiful work as always. I really like idea of putting the dovetail right on the top so anyone looking over the piece will find a little accent. 😀

[@dkbuilds]

Hell yeah thanks Matt. Appreciate the comment! I can never resist any opportunity to add dovetails to a project 😇

From one service member to a service member's grandson that is a good looking flag great job 👍

What a great way to attach the backing panel! Looks great...walnut is one of my favourites 😁 always enjoy watching the use of the more "traditional" tools and methods 👍🥰

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Heather! I definitely have a soft spot for walnut too. Thank you for watching!

Well done. I have my father in law’s flag here. I need to do the same.

[@dkbuilds]

Thank you Juan! You should, it's a surprisingly easy and fun build (especially easy if you skip the dovetailing part). Let me know how yours turns out!

The dowels for the back panel is a clever idea! Nice work!

[@dkbuilds]

Thank you whippoorwill!

[@behzad2929]

Beautiful and nice build as always. What a clever idea with the dowels for the backpanel. A pleasure to watch your videos as always.

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks so much Behzad, glad you liked it!

[@fcschoenthal]

Love the project as a whole and especially using the removable dowels to hold the back. I also like the option to turn on the captions for a better look into the video. Well done. - Chris

[@dkbuilds]

Thank you for the kind words Chris, I'm glad you liked it! I appreciate the feedback on the video style, I am always experimenting trying to see what people like the best.

[@darkosimic86]

Really nice work! Next time you want to cut plexiglas just use utility knife and score it many times. After that it is easy to just break it off :)

[@dkbuilds]

That's a great tip Darko I'll try that next time for sure. I was worried it wouldn't work on this 1/4" plexi because it's too thick, but I should have tried!

[@darkosimic86]

@@dkbuilds it should work on any thickness if you score it enough. I usually score third of the thickness with the back of the utility knifes blade and after that I continue same motion with the edge until I go through it.

[@pinguinoer3971]

What a lovely idea, and it looks so good! I genuinely don't think I've seen another project like this on KZbin either.

[@drewwellington9337]

Fantastic work brother. I have so much cherry in the shop that I've been doing a lot of projects with it, but damn do I miss some good walnut. Completely separately, I've shared your videos with a few friends of mine lately when they asked what kind of videos I'm watching on YT, and the consensus amongst the women in my friend group is, apparently, you have very nice hands. Figured you'd want to hear that.

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Drew! I love cherry to be honest I wish my wife liked it more but she only has eyes for walnut haha And lol I don't think I've been told I have nice hands before... I'll take it! Thanks for sharing my videos!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, dude! Your grandfather would be proud! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy new year!

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks so much MC, always love seeing your comments. Stay safe there with your family too!

[@BenNawrath]

KZbin must have spied on me talking to my friend Sunday about building flag cases! This came out great, and I love the pegs in the back, super simple. How did you manage to get the closed captioning to do that? Great idea!!

[@dkbuilds]

Thank you for the comment Ben! This was my first time experimenting with closed captioning, glad it turned out OK!

[@BenNawrath]

@@dkbuilds Worked out great! How did you do it? Is there a hidden audio track or something?

[@dkbuilds]

@@BenNawrath There's a way to manually add your own subtitles in KZbin, you assign each segment a timestamp of when it should appear in the video. It's not too difficult actually, compared to editing the text directly into the video. You can also change them whenever you want if you find a typo or a mistake, which is a nice bonus compared to editing them into the video too!

[@mrwaffles1394]

Excellent work. For some reason captions are greyed out for me.

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Waffles! And, oh no! I think maybe it is a bug with KZbin. They are working for me. I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know!

[@ramskog]

Great work! Is there a way to do dove tails that arn't 90 degrees? Trying to wrap my head aroud how it would be done...

[@dkbuilds]

Thank you Ramskog! And that's a great question, I have thought a lot about it too. I think it should be possible but it would be incredibly complicated.... basically every angle you cut changes. Mind bending to think about!

[@matterbe9213]

Nice build. I've been planning on doing one of these for a while for my father's flag, but I've not built up the courage to attempt the miters (I lack a table saw).

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Matt! This would be an interesting build using only a miter saw (or a miter box with a hand saw). Cutting the groove for the plexiglass could be done with a router. Do you have one of those?

[@garynelles]

Nice video! How do you like the Cosman dovetail saw? I have only used mine a few times. I have to practise more because unless I really concentrate I will cut on a slight angle to the right.

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Gary! I love my dovetail saw. It definitely takes practice though, and I'm far from an expert. At least half the time I pack sawdust/glue mixture into small gaps off camera! What do you use to cut dovetails if not your RC saw?

[@brianpearce1890]

Do you still have your planer, jointer, and miter saw or did you downsize after growing into the basement space?

[@brianpearce1890]

Derp. Noticed jointer a few seconds into the video.

[@dkbuilds]

I do :) planer and miter saw are still on my mobile flip top cart which sometimes I wheel out of my workshop to make more space.

[@brianpearce1890]

@@dkbuilds cool! I am also doing workshop Tetris and your builds are so nice, I was wondering if I should just focus on learning hand tools and ditch some of my big power tools.

[@dkbuilds]

@@brianpearce1890 Ahh gotcha. You could do what Paul Sellers does and only have a bandsaw, you can accomplish a lot with that for sure. For me minimum would be bandsaw, planer, jointer. Most of what you can do with a table saw you can do with a bandsaw, and planer+jointer can be done by hand but it's an enormous amount of work. You could consider getting an all-in-one tool like a Shopsmith but I don't have any experience with them (and they appear to be quite expensive).

[@jasonbowles844]

I love what you’ve done with the display case. Your craftsmanship is amazing! But from a currently serving Honor Guardsman to a service member’s proud grandson, please contact your nearest Honor Guard and have that flag properly folded.

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks for the tip Jason I'll look into that! I didn't know that was a service they offered. I appreciate the info!

[@jasonbowles844]

@@dkbuilds every honor guard is a little different and some are busier than others, but the worse they can do is tell you no. I don’t know where you’re located, but if you’re close to OKC or north Texas, I’d happily fold the flag for you.

[@taylordove6919]

Captioning is unavailable for this video! How do I get it?

[@dkbuilds]

Bah! I'm not sure, I think it is a bug with KZbin. It seems to work for some people but not for others. Maybe try refreshing or a different browser? Sorry about that I'm trying to fix it!
