I love the way you critique yourself throughout on how unsafe this was. It makes me think that you may have realized that it wasn't so safe when you watched it for the narration. This is a great project and very creative. I have been looking for a decent flag pole to hang on the side of my house. This gives me some good ideas how to make one without spending the big bucks.
Thanks for the video. A lot of good ideas that will be useful in the flagpole project I am planning. And a big thank you for including the important point on illumination and general flag etiquette. What did you decide on for the finish of the concrete base?
Great! I'm glad you were able to take some inspiration for your own design. I hope you let me know how it turns out. As for the base, I just put a coat of the same parging I used on the house foundation and then a cap stone.
That is awesome. I have considered building my own flagpole as well. The hard part for me is to figure out where exactly in my front yard do I want to put it. I know that sounds dumb but I think it's all about the presentation. Sadly, no one in my neighborhood has one so I have nothing to go by. Thanks for sharing.
This is exactly what I was trying to figure out how to do on my own. I'm looking forward to doing this project. What are the dimensions of the PVC you used for the spinning portion of attaching the flag?
@@amereaglepa Actually, I just hook the top flag hook into the bottom pole ring. That puts the flag at half staff, but thanks for the comment. It's a very good point.
Thanks, but I thought of that too. Flag still got tangled that way. I don't mind if the flag rides up a little on high wind. Better than wrapping around the pole.
Great job!😁🇺🇸

It is a great budget easy to do it. Good luck with yours

That's great! I hope you can figure it out. Flag poles are great to have in any landscape
It looks great. Congrats!
Thanks! I'm pleased with how it came out
Turned out great!
Thanks. I think it's my best project to date
Thanks for the info it was very helpful
Nice. Well thought out.
Yeah not bad for kinda "on the fly" Thanks

Inch and a half I think, but don't go by me exactly. This was just what I did. You must get what you need to make it work for your materials
Nice knee!
Only the intro and outro. The build was pre scope
Looks good. How long is the top rail?
The post is 10 feet
How do you put it to half staff for memorial day
Real Americans would not use if you can’t put it to half staff

I have a plastic long pipe how can i use that to make a pole
I don't think plastic would be rigid enough for a tall pole outside
I would have turned the bottom holder upside down. So the spinner couldn't slide up. Other than that good job.
