How to make a American flag Cross

[@larrystone5749]

Great job and build enjoyed it thx for sharing Be safe God Bless

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Thanks, you too!

[@stevesharp3813]

Great job explaining, easy to follow!! Liked that you talked abount cutting on the "inside" of the line when using the table saw. For me, I would just block sand the lap joints a little to get a flush fit vs. resetting the saw blade. Never thought about using a wood burning, great job!!

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Awesome, thank you!

[@gailjohnson3544]

Great explanation on this cross. Thank you 😊

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Thanks for watching

[@bigunksworkshop786]

Nicely done, sir. I like this concept a lot.

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Thank you

[@aodagroup7759]

Might want to consider using a "depth gauge" to set your blade.

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Funny, I do have one...

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Thanks for watching

[@artiechadwick8140]

I'm surprised you wouldn't just lay your template down when doing your lap joint on top of the table. Saw to copy the depth. That way you wouldn't have to go through all that setup again. Just lay your template down, raise or lower your saw height until it contacts your wood. There you go cut it out

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Thanks for the tip

[@stacygerlich5807]

Hi Luther, I noticed that your stars are not pointing up. This is a common oversight when we make these flags. Love your idea of the burned lines

[@LuthersWoodworking]

I'm not sure what your looking at. The stars are the correct way.

[@stacygerlich5807]

I apologize. It was my angle❤

[@LuthersWoodworking]

@@stacygerlich5807 That's OK Thanks for watching

[@98Mauser1]

lets say you where making a bunch of them would cutting the first two lines for the lap joint then switch to dado blade work better ?

[@LuthersWoodworking]

A dad blade would work I just didn't have one at the time Thanks

[@marvinhicks4477]

Any reason for 6 strips on bottom or just your preference…..enjoyed watched

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

Marvin Hicks I don’t want to speak for him but there are 6 stripes below the union on the American flag. That may be his reasoning

[@LuthersWoodworking]

My preference Thanks

[@johnmclaughlin9853]

Awesome job and instructions were awesome.

[@stacygerlich5807]

What color red are you using?

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Barn red

[@ronfontenot4534]

Good job!! How much do your crosses sell for in your area?

[@LuthersWoodworking]

I sell them for $35.00 ea

[@gailjohnson3544]

What dremmel bit are you using

[@LuthersWoodworking]

105 & 106

[@aodagroup7759]

I think editing is in order. Videos would be shorter without showing all the sanding, burning each line etc. Other than that nice.

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Noted! Thanks for watching

[@janbaker9418]

What size of boards are you using

[@LuthersWoodworking]

The vertical board is 3/4" x 4" x 17-3/8" The horizontal board is 3/4" x 3" x 13- 3/16"

[@pteddie6965]

@@LuthersWoodworking Hey, Luther. Did you purchase 1 x 4 boards or did you rip these boards from larger boards, say 1 x 10's or 1 x 12's?

[@pteddie6965]

Sorry, Luther. I just watched the video again and saw you ripping down your own boards.

[@LuthersWoodworking]

I bought 1 x 4 But you can rip boards down if you want, it works either way

[@LuthersWoodworking]

Ok
