That's a great idea you have there. Love it. You just gave me an idea for a different use as well. Also, another cheap way you can prevent the boards from sticking to the plywood is laying down some duct tape on the entire surface or sealing the board with some poly. I've used the duct tape before and it works good and the clamping boards come right off...
Hi. Good video. I made one like this also on my channel. Like you, I got the idea somewhere online and developed my own version. With your design, you could retrofit some bolts with t nuts that would give horizontal clamping pressure and eliminate the need for the f clamps. Also, several coats of poly could keep the glue from sticking. I used old flooring which keeps the flag from getting glued down. Just some thoughts. Nice work!
Effective and simple. Nice job. I'm thinking about making some burnt flags out of scrap wood and pallets etc..Who knows they might just pay for a box of ammo or two.
I just made this a couple days ago. I used a mix up of various scraps I had for the braces though. A little bit of 1x3, some 1x whatever. Lol. But the concept is the same. Fun fact, apparently there is a shortage of wing nuts in Illinois or something. I went to farm and fleet, home depot and ace hardware and none to be found. I could see where they’re supposed to be but the shelves were empty. I had to order them on Amazon. Insane!!
I know this is a bit unrelated to the jig but when you ship the flags, approximately how much does it costs? I’ve had several people ask me to ship them. I’ve seen them listed on websites and offer free shipping and I don’t know how they are able to do that.
Looks like he puts it flat against the board, that way its the same height as the stripes and clamps down. If it was on its side it would be no point to have braces lol.
Just a reminder to everyone. Don’t be a bonehead like me and forget to put the Saran Wrap on the jig!!! Felt pretty stupid prying my flag up tonight. Lol.
@@TrueAmericanCraftsman It looks really good. I’ve actually already sold five of them in the past 24 hours. I put them Facebook marketplace. There are a lot of people selling them so I figured I’d give it a twist. For every sale I’m donating a portion to the Gary Sinise Foundation. I make a little money, people get a nice flag, and they get to help a great organization. Win,win,win.
Thanks for sharing, Happy Veterans Day
Thanks for sharing this information with us, can’t wait to do this flag jig.😊❤
Great video, I have made some flags in the past, but this jig should make it easier to put together! Thanks for sharing!
You are a brave man to keep an aquarium in your shop. I would have banged into it with a 2x4 after the first 10 minutes.Great video build, BTW.
Great video!!
nice work and u kept it simple
Thank you for making this video!!

Mike, parchment paper works well, as well!
Great video.....thank you! Would love to see a video on your shelf build!
@@TrueAmericanCraftsman Thanks man!
Ty friend good job
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Could you please make a video making a flag using this jig ?
Sorry I just found your flag video ! Once again thank you sir !!
Great help. I’d like to send you a picture of my flags.

How do you keep the downward pressure reinforcement boards from being glued to the top of the flag ?
On the border strip, do you put 1" side flat against board or turn it upward for 1" high?

Make it wooden with the help of the Stodoys instructions.
