If you’re planning to make your own
flag cases, you should start by getting an angle board measuring 16.75 inches from one short point to the other. You have to provide an extra 3 inches to make room for wrong cuts. The side pieces should be around 20 inches long from short point to short point. Measure the 6-foot board from the long point of 20 inches and then use a framing square or speed square. Create the mark then cut the corresponding piece. The remaining piece which is longer should also have a short point.
The next step involves turning the piece around by 180 degrees. Cut the short point to turn it into a long point. As soon as this is done, the 45-degree angles above the display case will properly match the grain and size. You will see how consistent the pattern will be. Try to put the pieces together until you come up with the consistent pattern.
Position the bottom piece to the angled side pieces to create the triangle. You might discover that the side pieces are longer. Simply mark the base where it has the extra length. You have to cut it at a 45-degree angle. The 45-degree angle has to be cut properly. The final
flag case must be an angled piece from short to short.
When marking the piece that needs to be cut, the side of the board also needs to be marked. This will guide you on how to properly cut the wood and strap it together.
