This is just the camera angle making it look like my arm is closer to the blade than it really is. With the blade tilted away and the handles on the vertical router sled being well back from the blade, my arm is mostly over the fence a good distance from the saw teeth.
Nice project. I'm working on one now which is why I'm watching your video. Unless I'm looking at something wrong, the measurement at approx. 6:22 is 16 5/8", not 16 3/8".
The 45* cut could be make at the router table, however the 22.5* cut would require a very large bit that is not available. The tablesaw is a much better solution in my opinion as it and a good crosscut blade are essential tools for almost every woodworker.
We used some picture framing points. the same little metal tabs that are used on picture frames. you can usually find the points and a couple different types of drivers at hobby/craft shops and some hardware stores that sell framing supplies.
for military or veteran flag it has been folded soooo wrong. that is sad to have received a poorly and wrongfully flag for the Vets that has died for his Country.
Riden Roam how do you determine that the flag is not folded properly? I have made and given many cases for military families and they all have or had the stars sloping. Google flag cases, most flags are as described here. I once asked a “military presenter” why they (stars) were sloped. He assured me that if the 5x9 1/2 flags were correctly folded, they would have the sloping stars. What is your take on this?
You can find the complete cut list in our accompanying blog. You can find the link in the description, and I will put it here for you. www.infinitytools.com/blog/2018/01/24/memorial-flag-case/
The blog isn't available. Does anyone have the dimensions?
Is the tenoning jig still available for purchase?
Stinks that they weren't given a properly folded flag. Great vid!
EightQuaterCustoms this flag is properly folded. To verify, find a flag folding video. The three stars are never straight.
There is a special way to fold a flag for a display case but this is how they are typically folded.
thank you for the answer
Can the 22.5 cut be cut on a miter saw. I tried that cut with a small piece on the miter and it didn't look right
No, that is why we made it at the table saw using the vertical router sled. It is much too steel to make at the miter saw.
That forearm over the blade at 2:17 made me cringe. but that's just me.

Actually in the Video it shows 16-5/16" just a little under the 16-3/8" I said. this is why I cut the back at 16-1/4" to give a little breathing room.
That's a "Homer"...DOH!!! I see now that is the 32ths scale.
Nice job! Could you make the 45 and 22.5 degree cuts on a router table using your chamfer bits?

Excellent video!
Thanks for the video. How did you attach the back panel?

Couple more questions ...did you fill the nail holes? If so, with what? Thanks again.
Great Job...
is the flag a 5x9
Officially the flag measures 5' x 9'6"

Another waste the time with NO MEASUREMENTS
