Make the best American Wooden Flags

[@motogeekcomp6045]

Hey! Can you show us a video of how to use the CNC router?

[@richardbaynes3862]

Great video! Suggestion - get an HVLP spray gun for finishing (much faster spraying and way more uniform in finish) - and finish your flag FLAT - don't do it standing up, way to much chance for drips and runs....I use General Finishes waterbased satin 450...been doing signs for 15 years on the CNC.

[@derekpeterson5123]

Bad Ass job! Thank you for sharing your time and talent!!

[@Casenundra]

What I want to know is how do you package and ship the flag.

[@xpoxydesignz5003]

Really like the approach and explanation of your possess. Thanks for your time sir.

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Thank you! People either compliment the detail or complain I talk to much - Can't win LOL

[@rodkramer616]

what vee bit did you use for the army logo

[@livinginhoustontx5671]

Another awesome video! Thank you

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Thank you Sir!

[@uvaldo9880]

Great explanations and awesome video! Thank you

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

[@WilliamBowens-pi6tq]

Awesome job! What color green are you using?

[@2blu4u503]

Great job and video! What bit did you use on the U.S. Army logo?

[@stephanielittlefair3914]

Hi Ryan , As a newby through your vids i have in vectric aspire sorted the majority of things - the one thing i need your help with is the tool you use for carving out your ARMY Logo - it never looks right when i do it

[@Ricks2Cents]

Looks Great!!! I’m surprised your using rattle cans though.

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Explain to me why I shouldn’t? Then we can talk about it.

[@Ricks2Cents]

@@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP If your Producing a Fair Quantity it maybe more cost effective to purchase a can and spray with a gun.

[@Ricks2Cents]

@@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP By being able to control the PSI also gives you more control on the Finish.

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

@@Ricks2Cents Your response was smart enough to get a reply :) - for short runs, rattle can all day! For production runs, I break out the HLVP spray gun. It’s still such a marginal amount of paint that gets laid down, that cans work just fine! Thanks for commenting and the compliment! 🍻

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

@@Ricks2Cents Have you painted CNC machined pine? There is no finish. These get painted and poly. Done! Not going to sand pockets and prime and sand again for a 150 wall flag! BUT yes spray guns for the win all day!!!!! In a production space.

[@Monkywings]

where do you get the wood blanks? And how thick is it?

[@tylereason3372]

For stars on bigger flags do you prefer using a 60 or 90 degree v bit?

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

It's really all personal taste or preference, for me I stick with 60* on smaller stars!

[@josegysgttress5696]

Awesome work! Any advice for someone like me who is interested in learning more about this skill? Thank you

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Yup, watch as many KZbin videos as you can as well as joining FREE cnc groups on Facebook!

[@ralphalameda1381]

Nice work great looking flag. Liked how you explained the different polys. On the first project for a picture frame it was good until I placed the poly on and turned yellow I spent the next 2 hrs painting the letters and washing off the excess paint. What bits do you use when you cut the emblem and stars.

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Either a 60 or 90 V-Bit and always make sure it's sharp and high quality! I love poly, minus the issues with coloring :)

[@Chazbridge]

Pretty cool! I make my flags all by hand, aside from using stencils for my graphics and a dremel to carve them out…. so time consuming🥵 nice work!!

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Much respect to my fellow hand made flag makers 😂 tons of work 👍🏼🍻

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Where do you get your designs for the seals from?

[@alexandersmith2441]

Is that oil-based or water-based?

[@lukaspotgieter7363]

What bit did you use for the fine details in the seal.

[@cecilferris1163]

Is that one piece of pine or did you glue up two pieces?

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Glued up. Can’t find pine in a solid piece that wide. 👍🏼

[@andrewklotz1436]

How do you keep the pine from bowing. Every time I buy glued up pine it's bowed and then add stain it gets worse

[@ElCidPhysics90]

I’m guessing the vertical slats he attaches to the back help prevent bowing.

[@rodkramer616]

what are the dimensions

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

18x35

[@3187rakkasan]

Cool flag! Maybe consider making a video to show how to build the file. I was perusing youtube trying to find a video that shows me how to insert, for example, the army logo on the flag. Granted, I'm using a laser engraver, but dxf file should be a dxf file in the end.... I just don't know how to overlay the image that I want on the flag and have it visually fit, have a nice border around it and just looks like it belongs there. I know, I know...."there's so many different softwares, skill levels, etc.. out there". If you know how to use a couple different programs then make a couple different videos (that's more clicks and views for you). Maybe make one for the big ones CorelDraw, Lightburn, Adobe, etc... Just an idea. Either way, awesome flags. Glad I found your channel......>>Dean

[@JoseHernandez-mj6ne]

Hi Ryan. Can you tell me the name of your CNC machine and did you take a class at a college or where did you learn how to use it? Is it a difficult learning process? I’m a jar head retired police officer so I’m board getting into the hobby. Thanks brother. Look forward to seeing more videos.

[@johnholmes6897]

I'm an airbrush artist. So far frog tape has disappointed me every time. Paint seems to get under the frog tape.

[@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP]

Wow that’s the fist time I’ve heard anyone complain about frog tape. I just picked up an airbrush gun myself. Granted I’m no artist. Really wish I could airbrush. It’s one of my favorite things to watch people do!! Maybe try using a rubber roller to get some good down pressure. I also see they make a “delicate surfaces” version and it’s yellow.

[@johnholmes6897]

@@RISENGRINDWORKSHOP just practice. That's all . Watch how to's as well. It's really a good tool to master if you're into making artwork. Plus you can always ask for help. I'll lend a hand.

[@dutchvan4503]

Way to technical for me to follow. I build flags by hand. Much more personal. But I do it for fun does not profit.

[@bobshortland3079]

wow cool best wishes from england mate
