How I make a Wood American Flag, Flag wall hanging, Wood US Flag 

I used your video to make one for a vet in our church. Nice job

Thank you for this video. Your flags are beautiful

I see these everywhere. As a Veteran myself I like them. I see why they sell for so much because of the time it takes. I thought I might like to try a make one. I don’t have a table saw but Home Depot dose LOL. I going to check out your sight.

Reload, Marine! lets go get back in the fight!! Sempre Fi, brother! Nice work.

Hi beautiful work really nice have a great day brother

Thanks man I'm going to make one today!

That's pretty sick looking. Nice job. Semper Fi

Love the video! Love the step by step process along with some joking! Thank you for your service

Looks really nice

Thanks for sharing. It is obvious you take pride in your work. I wish you much success brother. God Bless America.

Amazing work, will try my best to replicate, thank you for the p inspiration🤟😜👌

Nice job looks good

Very nice job!!! It’s great that you take the time in carving the stars & emblems!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You should be proud, absolutely beautiful work. Thank you .

I’m learning how to make my own flag ,,watching a lot of videos!! I enjoyed yours, nicely done especially like your demeanor as you were totally laid back and relaxed while do your work, thanks TC from Nevada

Very nice great job

Thanks for the great video and sharing your process of making this. Well done!

old retired Corpsman here looking to keep myself busy and maybe make a few bucks. Thanks for sharing your expertise sir. Gonna give this a try so keep a good thought for me... I'm subscribed and rang the bell... God Bless

Beautiful! Great project... seller fi

I like your style. subscribed

Nice video. Have you ever considered using heat shrink on the wires? That way the wire won't scratch the wall.

That's really nice work Great job!

I wish I was a Carpenter. Thank you for this video. ♥️🤍💙

Nice flag. Thanks for sharing knowledge

Great job man. Really down to earth and informative. Great idea about marking slats out on the jig.

Flag looks great! Great craftsmanship 👍👍👍

Very Nice work! Thank you for your service! Semper Fi !

Super Job. I appreciate the attention to detail-signs of a true artisan.

This turned out great! Thanks for your detailed instructions.

Great job, love love that flag...Thank You for sharing.

Great video. High quality product!

Great video of the flag looks great! I like The Jig that you made to keep everything lined up I will try that.

Awesome job!! I’ve watched quite a few others make their flags. It’s amazing how everyone their own technique. Some glue all the boards in between, and still use wood on the back to hold it together. Some are cutting out a 3/4 piece of plywood, and staining it blue, then either glue on pre-painted stars, or paint the stencil. I like how you’re nice and calm throughout the whole video, and now you inspired me to go out and buy a Dremel with attachments! Thank you, brother, for your service. I was also a brother in arms in the Army for 11 years before I developed medical problems with my feet, neck, and lumbar spine, and was medically discharged as a SSG.

Turned out great! Thank you for sharing. You should indeed be proud of your work.

So, Behr has not come out with a flavored red paint yet? What are they waitin' for? I'm hoping for a peppermint flavor. It could do double duty as a paint and also as a breath freshener! Man, I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice build man

Nice work my brother in arms! Will be starting my 1st flag build in the am...I am going with a bad a** American Eagle carving on the lower right. Thanks for this great video! Stay safe and keep your powder dry in these crazy times!

Looks awesome looking to do one for my cousin he just got out of the army and also one for my friends dad who passed on this year

Awesome 👌

Very nice job and instructional aspect was fantastic!! Great job brother!! 👍

Nicely done. I am going to make one for my office. Thinking that be a nice touch. Thx for the tutorial!

I watched a lot of these videos. I really like the way you did the EGA in the corner. Gives it unique touch. Great idea 👍🏼

A Vietnam Veteran Stencil also, thanks JCC

Whoa that’s awesome Devil Dog! THX for sharing, its high quality work

Great work brother. Amazing video.

THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been looking for someone to use a higher gloss finish cause I didn’t know what to use and yours looks great!! Thanks

Looking good bud! Keep up the good work!

Nice work. Fixing to try my first flag. Semper FI.

Dude, I can’t agree with you more on how etching the stars makes such a huge difference. That handmade touch & quality is very much appreciated by those that purchase your product. Have you ever thought about using a branding iron to mark your work instead of the marker you used in this video? I had one made for my flags & WOW-what a difference! The customers REALLY like it! Anyway, great video, sir!

Great job

Good video thanks 👍

Awesome job. Well done! Midgard Workshop sells a carbon steel template you can use to carve the stars with a Dremel. I'm not getting anything for saying that. Just hate doing the stars by hand and the steel template helps. I put an 1/8 wood 'gasket' between the wood and template to protect the Dremel bit. I taped to the template. Doing it this way doesn't let you get the sharp point of the star but it still looks great.

Awesome , Semper Fi

Great job devil dog. Semper Fi.

I love it

Good shit devil. Just started making these flags myself. Haven’t done a EGA yet but definitely going to try it for my next one. Semper fi bud. YUTT

Bravo!!

Great craftsmanship! You don’t put glue in between the stripes? I like that. Maybe I missed it.

It looks... gud

I recently made a flag with no other logos on it My next project is going to be a fire department flag using this same technique 👍

Good work, and semper fi

Looks fabulous' great job!! Can u tell me what's the difference between the Drexel 3000 and the 4000?

Great video thank you so much for showing your way! I have made one with some left over wood but I was wondering what kind of wood are you using?

Great video! Flag looks awesome. I just started making flags for myself and my friends. I also love the hand carved look on the stars. Not every star is perfect, but it really gives it some character compared to just letting a CNC do it. Keep up the good work! Also, think I might steal your idea on that jig!

Very well done. I love your laid back way of explaining the entire process. Might I ask how you determined the length/width of your flags?. Also, where might I find a stencil similar to what you are using? I'll need one a bit larger as my flags will be a bit bigger. I've got 2 orders for these flags and since I have zero artistic imagination, your video tutorial came at just the right time. Thanks so much and best of luck in your operation. I'm not going to be making many of these so we will not be competing. I wasn't in the Marine Corps but let me say anyway, "Semper Fi". Thank you for your service.

NiceJob , where did you get the stencil I’m looking for a SeaBee Stencil can you help me., what kind of rotary tool did you use .

Thank you for the video the flag looks awesome. I was wondering what the dimensions of the flag are and the star stencil?

Nice job a Devil Dog

Looks Really Nice Bud! Would that Clear you put on hold to the weather? Or is that just a inside decorative piece? Thanks James

Awesome work. What can you use if you don’t have a nail gun?

Semper Fi

Very nice work! Wanted to ask in case I missed it. What was the length of the 1 x 10 you bought and what did you cut that down to for the length of the flag? Also, one tip I use at the end on other furniture I make. Instead of using the sandpaper, the blue scrub sponge you can buy does really good on the finish and it's non-abrasive as well. I use it for lacquer finishes on tables I make. Just as a thought! Great job Marine!

So, I am knew to flag making, and I love it, but honestly the stars take forever to crave out its frustrating, any types on making less of a chore?

awesome work! Im about to take a go at it for my Dad. What color red and Blue do you use?

Great job on the flag. I have a couple of questions. What was the color of the stains you used and how sturdy is your flag by just using brad nails instead of glueing each strip together. Finally, how long does it take you to etch the stars. Thank you

Did you make the star stencil or buy somewhere? Can you post a link or show how you made it? Thanks!

Awesome video and great work! Where did you get the red and blue stains?

You should be eating crayons not stain jarhead!! HAHA Semper Fi brother! Awesome build and Flag!!

whats the total size? also what is the sizing on the stars? Thanks in advance!

I don't currently own a torch. Was looking at the BernzOmatic Trigger-Start Model #TS4000KC or its bigger brother the Model #TS8000KC. Any idea which one would be a better fit for this kind of use?

Beautiful work! How long does it take you to carve out the stars?

I just made a flag very similar. I used white oak and red cedar for the stripes. How long did it take you to carve the stars?? I have tested it and it seems very time consuming! Lol

Very nicely done. I'm curious as to the size of the stencil you use and if it's available on Amazon.

SemperFi

Great video! Made me laugh and I learned as well :) 🇺🇲

Semper Fi!!

Great job, but need to automate making the stars somehow.

Great Information. When I cut my wood slats for a wood flag I end up with a few slats that are curved in the center (don't know why), causing me to not use that wood or if the curve is not too bad to clamp the slats together tight that results in uneven surface, any suggestion on this issue? Thanks.

Great Project. Does Home Depot cut your 1x10 to 37" for you? And when you put your flag together is the right end even or do you have to "clean"it up? Thanks.

Semper fi brother. Loved the video. Customers have been asking me about wall art, I figure if another idiot jarhead can do it, then I can knock this out.

Fantastic Job! Thank you for your service! I may have missed it but what are the actual dimensions of the flag? The slats are 1.5'' width correct? Length of slats? Fine job sir!

The market in my area is absolutely flooded with these things and no one is can sell them. Ive seen a few at the local goodwill.

What size stencil did she make and which size did you order?

Im a Marine vet. Still living in my stationed town and have decided to start making these as kind of a hobby and or side job. Any suggestions or recommendations to help the process fornsome one whonhas never made anything like this before. Side note. I want to work up to making these and using them as fronts for concealed weapons shelves or tables.

Would you please link the paint you are using? Thanks

That Stain doesn't taste anything like Crayons, huh Devil.... I know... I've tried it. I agree with you about the Hand Made Vs the "Fancy Machine". But what do you do when you're making 10 to 20 flags a week and those stars give you carpal tunnel? You buy a Fancy machine and move forward. My Craftsmanship still shines though...

What kind of wood do you use?

Let me ask this? I sailed on the USS Lexington CVT-16 from 74-77 what would it cost me to her put on one of your flags. The Japanese named Her the Blue Ghost. Because they sank her off the coast log Australia. In WW2. We had a Carrier just built and they decided to name this ship the Lexington and sent Her right back in to Her old mission. Where She kicked Ass. Japanese couldn’t believe their eyes. And Named Her the Blue Ghost. When I sailed on this Ship for three years. We sailed through 5 class Hurricane Anita. That was wicked to say the least. Waves going over the flight deck. That made the white caps about a hundred feet and more. We also took her through the Bermuda triangle where Psychics predicted us to sink. We actually crossed path with the shipping vessel that did sink. I never wanted to hear anything a psychic had to say again.

What gauge brad nails do you use? My nailer is 18 gauge but 18 gauge seems too thin.

What type of wood is that used?
