Making your own Flag Cases is easier than you would think, especially to the handy craft hobbyist. Here are the steps in making them.
First, you would have to have the base material. Getting yourself an angle board which measures around 16.75 inches from short point to the other, make sure that cutting from a big piece of wood would have a couple of inches extra for allowances and possible mistakes. In this regard, you may opt to have a bit more allowance, thus cutting an initial 20 x 20 inch short point to short point.
Once you have your small piece, your next objective is to rotate it to 180 degrees, and cut the short point, thereby giving you now a long point. At this time, you will see that you have two 45 degree cut angles. Since you turned it 180 degrees, the grains will then be parallel.
When you create the bottom piece and match it to the angled cuts, you may see some extra wood sticking out from the edge. No worries there as you may just pencil mark the excess and saw it away and finish it with refined sand paper.
The technique in getting a good cut for your flag case is to anticipate the pattern of the grain of the wood. Since you would be meeting the top and bottom 45 degree angles, it may be good to tack the frame together or hold it before cutting in order to visualize how it would end up after cutting.Labels: custom flag, custom flag maker, custom flag. personalized flag, flag cases
