Building a trailer hitch mount flag pole for under $30

- It's flag day! What better time to build a flag pole for the new truck? Here is how I did it and what I used. Total cost was under $30 for the pipe, square stock, eyelets, and cap. I used the clasps and flag from my old flag pole.

So what is it with Americans and their flag?? ua-cam.com/video/YaxGNQE5ZLA/v-deo.html
Being a proud American has no political affiliation. A true American realizes that ALL politicians are not to be trusted. Seriously READ THE CONSTITUTION!
Looking for a strong flag that will hold up to high winds? This one has been recommended www.united-states-flag.com/american-flag-3ftx5ft-valley-forge-koralex-ii-2-ply-sewn-polyester.html
agreed!
wow, the comments really went off the rails.
If u Run for an office i Will support u.
I know u know how to "fix" things.
Long may she wave!!! (Thank you for the link for the quality constructed version)
The Trump supporters and their BS and insanity over the past four years took its toll on patriotism. I think some of us need a break from all the bragging and pride over how "wonderful" we are as a country.

That Mustang cap on the pole mount will be PERFECT protection when backing over crowds leaving the local Coffee and Cars!
😂
How appropriate..
Building a flag pole ..on Flag day ..
Thanks ..👍👏👍
Thanks 🇺🇸
in canada we use hockey sticks and tuck tape
😂 👍🏻 🇨🇦
Handed it off to the painting gnome, we know he rattle canned that shit,lol
I don’t care as long as it is shiny!
Just a note to let you know how much I enjoy your posts... thanks for this tutorial and hope your Flag Day was great!
I have a feeling we'll be seeing this build again, he never played "whats in my console".
I am not sure what build you are talking about because we most certainly played "what's in my console" on the Dirtnali and I am still working on the new truck so of course you will see that.
@@vehcor The flagpole build.
Glorious old glory! Thanks Scott, Rich
Flag day!!!!! Im proud to be a American!!!
Me too! 🇺🇸
Hey Im from Argentina. Could u guys Just stop calling your self América.
América isnt Only usa u know?
@@BetterCallGatto No other country has "America" in it's name. Is Argentina ever referred to as "Argentina of America". Anyway...our government educational system only teaches people to hate each other. Few graduates have a clue about where Argentina actually is . :-)
@@BetterCallGatto
Pipe down, commie. Nobody cares what you think.
@@ronjclm8590 what?
I'm here to complain about a Monday video...... thanks Scott! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bought a special flag that can withstand high wind speed. Can drive down the highway without shredding like 99% of the other flags sold.
Do you have a link? Made in USA?
@@Sashazur let me find the box it came in. I'll post it up
When you find it let me know and I’ll pin a link! Thanks!
@@vehcor absolutely. Should be here shortly
@@vehcor its an Annin flag. They're about $35 for the 3'x5'. Extra heavy stitching all nylon material with extra bright no fade colors. I found them online. Everything from 2'x4' all the way up to 30'x50'! Lol
Thanks for showing us how to build flag pole I really like the nut idea no slack for it to move around i work in a machine shop have an excellent welder and we powder coat also Im good to go
I am not an American but in my mind you have one of the most beautiful flags in the world. Great to see the pride you have in it.
The 13 stripes represent the first colonies to declare independence from Britain.
Woo-hoo! Bonus content. Now, with even more sarcasm. 🤣🤣🤣
Always with sarcasm!
I'm still using my imperial drills, although I do have a metric set, which I haven't used yet. One problem I've encountered is that we can't get 1/8" pop rivets here in Australia now. They are 3.2mm instead. So if I drill a 1/8" hole, the pop rivet won't fit in the hole, so now I have to drill a 9/64" hole instead. This same issue applies to most pop rivet sizes. Looking forward to seeing the new truck finished.
All the best from Queensland Australia.
Scott, great video as usual. Great design & explanation. Best part is it’ll e ready for the 4th of July celebrations. Keep’m coming. Fran
Nice simple build! I'm gonna have to make one now😂
Thank you for putting this video out on Flag Day!
👍🏻🇺🇸
Looks good and perfectly timed for Flag Day.
Thanks!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Great build on the flagpole
Thanks for a great Flag day
@vehcor Great job. Hopefully there's a Friday video to look forward to.
Thanks, working on it!
Nice job! You could have left the hole on the top and enjoyed the whistle going down the road! Also you need Mr. Spotty stickers then you could put one on the end where it sticks out of the trailer hitch.
Great job, Scott! God Bless America!
Thanks! 🇺🇸
The entire continent Or Just Only usa territory?
Wow this couldn’t have been better, was just looking what I’d need for this
Glad I could help!
/engine hoist. Nice Flag day project. Thanks
Great lookin' flag pole.👍
Thanks!
I only have a step bumper on my 86 Ram. So just put a bolt in the center facing upward to center it and used the 2 outer bolts to bolt it down and keep it kinda square. Mine is 8 foot above the bumper because that's the length of pipe I had.
Pontiac bolts on a GMC, that truck never had it so good. Nice work Scott!!! That flagpole will be around a long time.
😂
Don’t forget the Ford part from the Mustang
Cool stuff Scott!!
Thanks!
Nice build!
Awesome craftsmanship 🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸
AMERICAN KNOW-HOW.
A flag pole video for Flag Day... Nice touch Scott!
Nice design,
I will make one!
👍🏻
Nice video sir and nice Flag 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
I have a flag 18'X35' don't know where it came from, after Dad died it was neatly folder in his bottom dresser draw .
Must have taken up all of the drawer!
That's a HUGE flag!
Was your Father in the Navy, or did he know someone in the Navy. Flags that large are usually flown on large capital ships like Carriers and Battleships. It would be an "at sea" flag that is flown on the main mast when the ship is underway. When in port the main flag is furled and a smaller flag is flown at the stern and the Union Jack is flow on the bow.
None of the aircraft carriers I served on flew a flag anywhere near 35 feet long. Maybe under ceremonial dress. The only place I've seen flags that huge fly are car dealerships... haha :-)
@@markb.1259 You'd be surprised how big the flags are that they fly on the main mast. They are at least 10 to 15 times as big as a standard flag. I don't know the exact dimensions, but I do know that it took around 35 guys from Deck Dept to furl and fold the flag.
As an aside note my younger brother had given our father a flag that flew over the Marine base in Kandahar. That flag is easily 20' - 25' long I'll have to ask him about it when we get together on Independence Day.
Another thing to note is that you can also submit a request to the government for a flag that has been flown over the US capital Those flags are pretty large as well.
Great video would have been nice to see those stars and stripes fly.
I would through that sawzall blade in the pile too: Its super dull!
What do you think I am made of money? 😂
Looks great!!!
Thanks!
Great project! 👍🇺🇸👍
Step bits are if you feel like making 16 cuts instead of 1.
The total time is about the same. 🤷🏼♂️
Except that a step bit will give you a round hole instead of the weird triangular holes you can get with a large diameter spiral drill bit.
Ours flies every day!
I bought one of the trailer hitch mounts. Bought 1" OD - Brushed Stainless Steel Tubing 316 Grade - 96" Long - 16 Gauge pipe. =bought a pair of alloy flag pole rings. I'm gonna fly my vintage (70's) flag thats 5'x9'5" flag. Going on my '78 Chevy C20.
Love it!
Thanks!
Nice Job!!
Thanks!
Good way of doing it right ✅
Excellent !
Great that you chose Flag Day to post this.
Scott having Grand Am parts? Wow Scott! You're surprising!!
LOL, yeah don't forget the rife rack in the rear window!
Don't let Mara Gay catch you flying that flag!
vary nice ty sir for the video
Cheap, easy for most with simple tools and a buddy with a welder. Great idea welding bolts inside for stability. Keep it rubber down and fly with pride.🇺🇸
Awesome job!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Any info on that license plate cover? Looks like a garage door?
I don't comment often but I just had to say... well done sir!
Thanks!
A welding table with a propane tank attached to it! The safety police got to love you. Great content Scott! 🇺🇲
He never talks about the safety gnomes.
1:25 the pipe or that blade😂
Will have to build one of these for my truck, already have a 15 foot high flag flying on my deuce, of course I can't go far without hitting wires. Need to make some smaller ones for that as well
Love our flag great job .
I am really happy for you 😎
👍🏻
Thank you Scott! God Bless the Red, White & Blue.
👍🏻🇺🇸
Taking a break from the Chemtool fire and seeing the American Flag makes me proud and motivates me to get back to work.
Nice!
can you make a video for how to do this with a tesla model?
This is America jack. I love this.
Thanks! 🇺🇸
I was starting to think this guy wasn’t human. But now I see, he even gets a clogged drain from time to time.
Add drill press to my Christmas list please 😎
Then you will find projects just to use it like I do. 😂
Looks real good Scott . You should get a patent on that , make them and sell them . Thumbs UP man !
Your videos are awesome! Thanks for doing them!
Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
No problem!
Love it
Lol
Dang son sick
make sure it's not as tall as a fast food drive through.
A Dirtnali exclusive!
For now...
You should make these, and sell them!
Hi Scott. I noticed the bench grinder. Do you have an opinion on what brand wheels to use? Mine are getting rough and I dont want to buy an off shore hand grenade model.
The pole always breaks in the wind while going moderate speeds. Gonna try a thick piece of wood
Imagine riding w that huge heavy iron rod hanging out the back like that lol
I think we are gonna need a bigger pole! Lol..
well ahead on prep as it should be!
not a citizen but wishing you a happy 4th of July to come
best wishes to all
I am a little late watching this video and commenting but nice job👍🇺🇸
Watched this to see if I could build a diy timber rack
Note To Self- Don't stick fingers through the chop saw's broken motor guard!!! :-/ LOVE the flag and flag pole! Very Nice Scott!!!
11 ft. tall? So much for hitting Mickey D's (or many other) drive thru's with it installed... haha
No drive thrus. It only comes out for special occasions, most of the time the trailer is connected to the truck. It is a work truck after all.
I built my own flag pole I still run a 10 foot stick of electrical emt 2 inch
👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Harvey danger.. flagpole sitta
Yea! For Freedom Units🇺🇸.
👍🏻🇺🇸 *’Murica*
At the time I viewed this there's 77 people going to hell. How could any American thumbs-down this video?
A metric bolt holding it to the hitch? What happened to Freedom Units?
I just pound a freedom socket onto it! *’Murica*
Great stuff. Just keep it the American flag vs the orange clown kind.
I could use a mean tweet and cheap gas right about now. Better than that dipshit who resides in there now. Oh well, enjoy your dipshit now, he and the worst VP on record will only be a one term anyways.
Folsom Biden flys the Chinese Flag
I love my country, not my government with whatever party is destroying my country at the time.
vehcor love your videos and could not agree more.
David Mackenzie hardly, and better than the love Putin flag. Grow up.
Amerikaaaa lol nice man nice
Can you fly the maple leaf on there
Where would the best place to get these materials?
Very nice 👍 where to buy
@ 11:40 No limit to the height ... Say hello to your local drive-through.
