How to Build a Memorial Flag Display Case

How to Build a Flag Case: www.mrfixitdiy...
My Grandfather who served in the military during World War 2 passed away about a year ago and so this year I decided to build a flag case for his burial flag for my Dad as a gift for Father's Day.

Nice job but you glossed over the 22.5 degree cut that I've found to be the biggest problem. I use a radial arm saw and am struggling to safely make this cut.

[@boxxjw1]

I'm building out of red cedar and my 22.5 angle fits wouldn't work I had to go to 20 degree on the table saw and it fits alot closer but throws my 45 off

[@dantheruggedman5485]

Why couldn’t you use compound miter saw to cut the 22 degree angle?

[@TheLosiracer]

Why couldn’t you cut the 22.5 degree cuts on your miter saw?

[@donpresser16]

This is amazing how you made the display case. I had a friend who just passed away at the age of 83 and his 2 Daughters both received Flags and I thought it would be very appropriate if I made the cases for them seeing as how I knew their Father for over 30 years. His wife passed away 11 months ago also. I know both Daughters are going to like this very much.

[@sallywnuk8595]

Watched the video but need more info on how to make the 22 1/2 degree cut safely. Please

[@mcleod55]

That was better than any gift you could have bought. Nice job!

[@joshferguson4660]

Great Job! That walnut came out really nice and gives it a custom look. Being crafted for a loved one makes it even more special. I'm sure you father will cherish the gift for many years to come. Keep up the great work!

[@bobscruggs8886]

What do you mean you can't cut 22.5 or 45 degree on table or miter saw? I did try these cuts for a flag case and they don't work out why ? thanks

[@ozthebuilder]

Hey, just wanted to drop a comment and say this video really helped me when I was making a pair of memorial flag display cases. Going with a hinged frame and a strong magnet was incredibly versatile. Thanks for the help!

[@bobscruggs8886]

ok I got it the 22.5 is a deep cut not sure I understand it but will have to cut the miters upright thought this was going to be easy fooled again.

[@timbruce7694]

Very inspiring, my 89 year old grandfathers funeral was today and I plan on making a case just as beautiful as the one you made. It's for sure more special than just buying one. Wonderful job :)

[@duvalian]

Il’ll be doing this for my Union Jack I had during the first gulf war. I can only hope and pray mine comes out anywhere near as god as yours mate lol. Great vid btw, and I’ve subscribed 👍

[@jhscheppele2448]

Thanks for the shout out to the veterans.🇺🇸👍

[@Sklallamstrong]

Thank you for making this video, I'm going to start work on my grandfathers flag case here pretty soon, any recommendations on it after you finished? Things you would do different if you were to do it again?

[@Tearyatobitz]

Awesome job! It would have been cool if you got like your grandfathers name etched into the glass. Just a suggestion

[@soilsrus]

Thanks for your ideas on modifying the design. I love how it turned out!

[@Phobophile]

Thanks for sharing this. I was looking at the same plans from Woodworkers' Journal, but I quite like some of your modifications. This is just what I needed to get started on a case I've promised someone.

[@scottbitterman1331]

Love the case do you have a video on how to make the jig

[@daveday7396]

Thanks for the help. Good stuff. I plan to make a case for my sons flag. SSG David F Day KIA Baghdad Iraq 21Feb2005

[@PopsCustomSignsLLC]

Thanks for the video. I searched for a video like this and yours was the first one to show in my feed. I will be making one similar, except the one I will be making will have a cremation urn in the base. I subscribed to your channel based on this video. Thanks again.......and to your Grandfather I offer him a Heavenly heart felt "Saaaaaaaaaalute!"

[@valeryrigot9740]

Nice work, I really liked the tenoning jig tip!

[@sheilahill3215]

Thank you, awesome work, my Dad just passed and I'm planning on making a Flag case for his... really great video....

[@Samtagri]

Hey man, cool to put such a personal project online. Nice video.

[@wcrandellsr3393]

Good job...your grandfather would be very proud. My father was a WWII veteran. He was K.I.A in Korea, Sept. 01, 1950. I was three and have missed him to this day.

How to build a memorial flag case

[@cspann2872]

Thanks Aaron- just the incentive I was looking for. What a wonderful tribute to your grandfather! I will be making one for dads flag. He was stationed in Okinawa with the Army Corps of Engineers during the Korean Conflict. He was refurbishing heavy equipment stored there after WWII and he just passed at 91.

[@lickitysplit2413]

Hey Arron, I have what might seem like a stupid question to seasoned woodworkers but as I am a newbie to woodworking I am having trouble figuring out where to make my cut on a longer than needed board in order to place it in the tenoning jig for the angle cuts; by the way, I made a jig for my table saw following your pattern and it works well, thank you. My question is this, after I have cut one end of the bottom piece of wood for the flag box at 22-1/2degrees and I have a longer than needed piece of wood for the bottom, how does one know exactly where to cut the board off to perform the opposite 22-1/2 degree cut in the tenoning jig? I simply took an eyeball measurement with tape measure to the adjacent side of the first 22-1/2 degree cut, got the measurement and then added this measurement to the other end of the board to figure out where I needed to cut the board off. Just wondering how one would figure this out without a set of plans already in hand. My father's flag needed different measurements for a flag box for some reason.

[@AlshawiArt]

Grate job on the flag box. In my opinion i think if you make a small label or gold plank with details of you grand fathers info 😇👍🏻

[@georgewest153]

Great job. Looks better than some I have seen coming from fully stocked shops. I especially like your can do attitude. Don't have all the tools, you may want for a project, so you adapt, and use what you do have. Congratulations on that alone. Splendid ending, with a shout out to the troops. They make our freedom happen, and we should never lose sight of that.

[@tooljunkie555]

Very nice..how long are each of the pieces I had a relative recently passed away he was a curry and/or that 1 and make one of these for him also just need to know the lengths of the 3 pieces

[@Deejerbeej]

Thanks for that info. A good friend is losing her husband to cancer and asked me to build her a display case...I've been doing custom woodworking for years but never made one of these so your video really helps...thanks again

[@webcrawler3332]

Great Job! Can you tell what Dado Stack you are using on the table saw? Mine is a 7430 and i dont have a long enough arbor to put on on. Curious how your are doing it? Thanks!

[@abbyloveluzern]

Looks fantastic. I’m in a similar situation, and I’d also like to make a case for my dad. Although, I don’t have the tools to build it. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks.

Absolutely LOVE this piece! 👌🏼

[@oneguy4196]

I've been active duty for 17 years and counting. I have a few flags from my career. I was about to just get rid of them or give them away but I will use your video to make a case and keep them in the family for years to come. Thanks.

[@jamescooley7849]

From all veterans and all who served I salute you. Great job and well done. I hope my children and grandchildren have the heart to make one for my flag when it comes!
