HOW TO MAKE A DRAPED AMERICAN FLAG - STEP-BY-STEP - EASY DIY PROJECT

[@t_micahc7]

I love this video. Watched two others that went straight to the CNC machine. Thank you for making this with tools we have and/or can afford. This is what a woodworking channel should be all about. Looking forward to the next project. Keep them coming!

[@sparetimewoodworker1505]

Thank you so very much! You are the person I make videos for. I'm not the best Woodworker in the world for sure, but I enjoy sharing a little and showing people how to make some pretty cool things without having to buy a complete high dollar shop with all of the most expensive tools.

[@t_micahc7]

Hopefully this is exactly makes this channel explode! We all have something to learn from each other. It’s not a matter of what I can build and you can’t, it’s lets build this together.

[@davegirimonte]

Hello we talked a few weeks ago I haven't started the flag yet but the question I have what type of carving wheel did you use I haven't decided which one to get is so many different kinds I would appreciate if you could let me know thank you so much take care brother

[@sparetimewoodworker1505]

I used a 36 grit flap sanding discs to rough it out. It is aggressive, but not too aggressive where I had to worry about taking too much material off. You can then work through finer frits or go right to the palm sander.

[@davegirimonte]

Awesome job man really nice work I know you've been asked quite a few times about layout and measurements if there's any chance you can share it I would appreciate it I would love to make it for one of my family members thanks so much brother

I'd seen a video like it 5 months ago, finally picked the wood up, two weeks later, drew the dimensions I'd seen on the video out, sat for another month waiting on weather, just carved out the waves and folds, now it sits some more for spare time, need to tape off and draw stars, but on a better note started and completes 4 other flags in the same weekend

Thanks for the video, but without much expansion doesnt domuch for someone trying to replicate what your doing. A simple voice over would have made this video great.

[@Wadewoytek8]

How do you know where to put the stars? You made it look too easy! Lol

[@sparetimewoodworker1505]

Honestly, the stars didn't come out that great. They should have been rotated more for a more realistic look. I just put the stencil down and started tracing where I thought they should go, lol.

[@weaponizedmath4369]

Hang a flag on a nail, allow to drape it will almost fold naturally the way it appears here, I know because I have 90 flags hanging in my shop

[@therebellion6911]

LOOOVE the flag, and I'm usually not the safety police but people please unplug your tools before messing with the blade. Also clamping your material will help against kickback. Ive done these things the way you have so I know the temptation but it was just as stupid when I did it.

[@gl7707]

I just wanted to let you know this was great and there are a couple posers who created their video 2 months ago about this same subject. Real corny to. They act like they are figuring it out with pictures and drawings, math. What a joke. The sad part is they have more viewers and people will think they created it. Even if you didn't you just did it. Makes me mad. Thanks

[@sparetimewoodworker1505]

I'm just glad to see other people making stuff. Hopefully I inspire others to give this flag style a go.
