I just retired from the Navy and have my wife, mother , and sister flags at my ceremony. Definitely using this design when I build their boxes. Great video!!
David, thanks for the complement. Remember that Standard Military Ceremony flags are usually 4x6. A little larger than the 3x5 I used in this video. You will need to go bigger or take a look at these (link) . These were a pair of large flags and show a little more detail on making the height and with of the flag work. You can continue the rest of the box below in the same way I made this video. Hit the subscribe button! thanks Jonua-cam.com/video/orqASac-P4g/v-deo.html
Jon, you're flag display box came out great! The reason I found and watched your video is that I'm going to be building a flag display enclosure for a HUGE U.S flag which a friend of mine received and covered the entry way ceiling of a US military front line combat medical facility in Iraq. The reason it was attached to the ceiling was so the first thing wounded or sick personnel saw on a stretcher or gurney as they came through the tent entrance was the American flag over their head. I'm thinking your display might work for me.
Dan if its a really large flag then you might want to go with something like this. ua-cam.com/video/orqASac-P4g/v-deo.html But if you are going to incorporate some sort of certificate then I understand.
Jon, this flag is very heavy so I'm thinking it will have to have a heavy [say 3/4" frame], It's going to be displayed in a veterans building. I have a beautiful length of birds eye maple which I'm considering although I think Oak might be more traditional.. not sure yet.
I love your detailed videos. It inspired me to design and build a challenge coin rack combined flag triangle for a commanding officer farewell gift. I found it challenging as in Australia we don’t fold our flag that way, so I got creative with a unit flag. Thanks you and keep these types of ideas coming.
We just buried our son SSgt Robert E Scruggs an Army Iraqi disabled veteran I have chosen to use Cypress which is close to a hardwood with nice grain and finishes well I have used this for several projects I do like your design and will add a separate base with an engraved nameplate thanks for your video.
Bob Scruggs thanks for your compliment. Would love to see a pic when your done. I thank you, your son and your family for the sacrifices that you have made for this great nation. God Bless you.
Very sorry for your families loss, I read your sons obituary; let us never forget the sacrifices made by those who served America. God bless you and your family. RIP SSGT Scruggs.
Davhid, :-) No, the the pressure of the flag and the foam behind the certificate were enough to hold and keep pressure on the glass and hold it into place.
im going to build one for my dear friend Laura Mcdaniel been gone 2 1/2 weeks. R.I.P Laura McDaniel i love you and miss you so much. ty for helping with this box jon"sdiy
I used mahogany. Bought it at Home Depot. I think all stores carry it. Measurements are all focused around the size of the flag. Build the box around the size of the flag.
Are you still using a DeWalt DW745 table saw? I was surprised to see you using a dado blade, I was under the impression the DeWalt DW745 doesn't support a dado blade?
Rudi, Ok the manual says that you can "NOT" run Dado blades with this saw. (safety issues) I did not consider using dados before I bought this table saw and regret that I forgot to look into this option. . I own a craftsman dado blade set from Sears. I use this all the time. Due to the short bolt on the table saw, I can only get up to 3/4 of an inch width of blades. I just put the large lock nut on without the washer. If you plan on using a dado set all the time, then for safety reasons, I would look into a different model that supports dado blades. Over all this one is not designed to. I still use my dado blade all the time but in good conscience I can not recommend this table saw you to if you are going to go against the manufactures recommendations. On some of the links below I use the Dewalt dado table insert. I bought the insert on Amazon (for another saw), the size seems to be standard so it works, just need to reverse you fence so you are not cutting over the left side gap. I'm just a home diy'er and can not afford another table saw, so i just make do with what I have. Check out these links and you can see me using my dado blades with this table saw: (2:02) ua-cam.com/video/1OU39R5forc/v-deo.html (this one I even use a home made insert) (3:19) ua-cam.com/video/wfs8W8saUtU/v-deo.html (1:54) ua-cam.com/video/Z0N8xGHpdQ0/v-deo.html So to answer your question: Yes the table saw in this video is the DW745.

I had no idea that the 22.5 and 45 degree angles were so difficult and can't cut with my table saw it's a deep angle cut I have never been expose to this before so I built a base did 45 degree on top and bottom and screwed the base in from the bottom then cut 1 inch trim to hold the glass in still in progress will try to send picture in future thanks
Buzz Kill, the dimensions are not standard. They are based on the size of the flag. That is where the video starts. Measure your flag first to get a base line for what your measurements will be. My boxes are custom made. Build to fit the flag not the other way around. Thanks Jon ua-cam.com/video/JBjsC3z-sI4/v-deo.html
Will, yes I use them for heavier projects to give it that extra support. For small ones like this I would rather not have to deal with the holes and filling them. Its all about the look. thanks for your comment Jon
David, yes you are not the first person to educate me on my error. I no longer wear gloves with any saw. (check out some of my other videos) Just goes to show that I am not a pro but a DIY'er like you.

JON'S DIY thanks for the response! I used 3x5 flags but will definitely double check.
Wonderful display case for such a treasured flag. Thank you for the video.
Love this box. I need to build one for my brother's flag. Thank you for the video.
what size brads did you use ? great looking box....
Steven. I used 3/4 inch 18gage

It will incorporate a certificate documenting where it came from
Awesome, Take a pic, would love to see it when its done. Jon

Sounds like a fun project. Keep me updated. Thanks Jon

Colin, you need to shoot me some pics of that. It sounds awesome! post on my timeline on Jon's DIY Facebook.
JON'S DIY thank Jon, I have posted on your Facebook page. Colin
Looked really good to me nice job
Jon, when cutting glass never go over the cut line twice. Do it once in one go and the glass will break cleanly. Nice flag box
Mark, Thanks for the tip. I suck with glass.
JON'S DIY also try dipping the wheel of glass cutter in little paint thinner will I've you cleaner cut
Thanks for the tip Turkey. I will try this next time.

John, Did you hold the glass in place with anything?
Davhid, :-) No, the the pressure of the flag and the foam behind the certificate were enough to hold and keep pressure on the glass and hold it into place.

Having trouble finding the wood for this. Any suggestions and do you have some measurements or did you just build it as you went. Thanks
I used mahogany. Bought it at Home Depot. I think all stores carry it. Measurements are all focused around the size of the flag. Build the box around the size of the flag.
Thank you for your help. I look forward to getting on this for my grandpa.
ua-cam.com/video/orqASac-P4g/v-deo.html Did one for my father in law.

Beautiful!!!
Awesome I jus received my fathers flag with a certificate from the pilot and the platoon that flew it over from Dubai. I would like to make one.
I thank your father for his service! Jon
what are the dementions you use cant tell in the video

23 guage pins are great
Will, yes I use them for heavier projects to give it that extra support. For small ones like this I would rather not have to deal with the holes and filling them. Its all about the look. thanks for your comment Jon
I have always read that gloves should not be worn when cutting on a table saw. Seems like good advice.
David, yes you are not the first person to educate me on my error. I no longer wear gloves with any saw. (check out some of my other videos) Just goes to show that I am not a pro but a DIY'er like you.
Home Depot is my source
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build.
You are unbelievably sketchy with the table saw
No sure I understand your comment. Sketchy? With the table saw? what does that mean. You want more detail on how to use a table saw?
JON'S DIY it means I’m surprised you still have 10 fingers
