Helpful tip if you already dont know. When routing to prevent splintering always start with both end cuts. I sure wish i owned your shop you have a gang of nice tools. Thanks for the content always enjoy your no nonsence right to the point intructions. Your class's you are now offering i bet will be a huge hit.
great video! Thanks for showing us your process. I do allot of cnc router flags and was looking for a quicker way to transfer the flag layout onto a 3d wavy flag. looks like your way may help me out.
Beautiful work. I wished I new what products he was using
Beautiful and efficient! Can I ask how you gave the natural lines a "burned" look at the end?

Love these videos
love the flags 111
Thanks!
Not bad 👍 Straight forward process, good job.
Thanks!
Very nice! I’ve never seen someone wipe off the spray paint after spraying before. Does that even it out? I’ll have to try it next time I spray paint something! Thanks for sharing!
Makes it more like a stain and let’s the grain show through.
I really enjoyed your video. Several years ago I decided that I wanted to make flags both large
and small. As I am pretty handy with computers (as long as it’s a MAC) and pretty good at graphic design, I invested in a Shapeoko CNC Router. That is when I realized how stupid I am. I had no idea that I would need a degree in Bits, etc. So I hired a guy overseas to make me a template for the Union for both the large and small flags. That worked fine but what I really wanted to do was custom designs for Police Agencies and Military units. That is when I failed as the guy overseas started nickel and dimming me for design work and the many edits he needed to make for a logo. So the CNC is gone, and I still have that dream.
So I am contemplating purchasing a xTool D1 Pro Laser cutter, I found your video and I would like to know, if you don’t mind, what the dimensions of your overall flag is and the union itself.
The work space of this machine is 16.93 x 15.35 inch and I’m hoping that I can get back to doing what I enjoyed as Im am assuming that Laser cutting is a whole lot easier than CNC Routing.
Thanks in advance.
These flags that I make are 14” or 24” wide and everything else is proportionate to standard flag dimensions.
Love your vids. Keep it up.
Thank you!
Can you make a video about using the pass through? Please
Thanks for all your informative videos! Glad I found your channel.
Can you do a video about how to make a jig and set the laser in lightburn to make repeat lines and fills like in 4:45 and 8:02? hope that makes sense! Thanks
What type of wood are you using?
Do you by chance sell this file? Or know where I could find one?
You need a Table Saw!!!
I have one. I’ll stick with my track saw.
track saw is way better than a table saw when are ripping sheet material by yourself.
When you routed the edges, did you put a round over or chamfer on them?
I was thinking the same.
I didn’t see a change.
Honestly curious, why not paint the entire flag black then laser, mask the blue line, spray blue line then done?
Time. Go set up a full engraving of a flag on the laser and see how long it will take.
Thanks for sharing!! Are you selling these? I followed most of your tutorials setting up my 100 watt OMTech and you were invaluable man.
Yes I sell these. This batch is going to get other patches and banner added. They will be awards for the Utah Highway Patrol.
What masking film did you use?
Love the video! Where can I find the tape you put on? I look on Amazon, but they all say “not suitable with laser”
What is the tape that is used?
Awesome job. is that just regular 3/4" ply?
3/4 pine ply
what are the dimensions of that flag?
Great video! What is the sticky paper you use prior to lasering? Thanks
Paper masking
Look for a laser safe option in Amazon or there are options through JPPlus and JDS
As I put in one of your other videos. I am new to using a Laser - I have a 150W CO2 laser I got this week. I ordered a role of your masking tape through an affiliate code I saw you had on another persons comment. I saw you first paint the black field portion and then you laser out the stars and they appeared to be white. Did I see that correctly - can you laser of the paint to just show the stars underneath. How is that done if you don't mind sharing. Did a UA-cam search and can't find that answer yet.
Light coat of paint and quick speeds with just enough power to get some depth but still leave the stars a good color.
What paint are you using? And what were your settings to do the stars thru the paint
Do you have issues with the spray paint bleeding through beyond what’s masked?
Not with this process. I make sure to use a scraper card when I put the mask down and then use a light spray of paint and wipe it right off like a stain.
How would you incorporate an image within the flag?
Nice vid. What's the tape you're using? Seems to have a stronger tack than most.

What size are these flags?
These ones are 24” wide

This machine is the 100w
Great video! Thanks for sharing, how much do you sell your flags for?
Desicration of the American flag
Thanks for stopping by
These wooden flags are a facsimile, not an ACTUAL flag, therefore there isn't any type of "desecration". God Bless America from an ARMY VETERAN.
