Shack. I’ve got 2 flags that I need to make flag cases for. I noticed that hte flags have different dimensions. Therefore the case cannot be mass produced but need to be custom made.

How did you cut the 22.5 Deg angles.

Is the glass embedded within the sides or did you use clips to hold it in. (and replace it if it gets broken?

Thanks

Karson I used a dado blade an cut a dado on the edge. The moulding holds the glass in. I made a jig to hold the wood and cut it on my bandsaw.

Something I wish I had of my fathers. He had numerous medals and lost 2 brother in WW2. He was 16 years old when he joined and was wounded at Remagen, they sent him home after that. He had also been through the Battle of the Bulge and the landing at Normandy. So I was pretty proud of him. Very nice tribute to your father. Todays generation does’nt know the sacrifice our parents made for us. jockmike

Mike, it’s men like you father and two uncles who’s sacrifice and willingness to defend others that makes me so proud to be an American. I had two great uncles who perished in WW2.

Shack, that’s a very nice flag box. I’m sure that your mother was very pleased.

Shack – very nice flag display box! When I left the Navy, I was given a display box with my medals below with a flag box above. It is a treasure that brings back fond memories.

Mike & Os – Not to get overly political, I agree with you both. Our fathers made many sacrifices.
