Decide on which size of flag you will be building a flag display case (fdc) for.

3′x5′, 4′x6′, 5′x9′ (burial)

Measure the folded flag. For this example we will use the 5×9 burial flag.

You will need the bottom (horizontal) measurement,

along with the two diagonal measurements. Also get

the thickness of the folded flag.

* bottom msmt: 24″

* diagonal msmt: 16 3/4 “

* thickness: 2 3/4 “

Decide on the type of wood you will be using, for this example, we will use oak.

A 1×4 piece of oak in truth measures 3 1/2 in

width, which is fine. Buy an 8′ length. (for be-

ginners, in case there are mistakes)

Seeing that our flag is triangular in shape, we will

cut the angles on a 45 degree. You may do this with a

circular saw or a chop saw (mitre saw). Chop saws

give a much better cut.

The bottom measurement of our flag is 24″. So our

inside measurement of our 45 degree cuts ought to be

at least 24″. I commend cutting the length of board at 24 1/4″

(little play room for glass and flag)

You ought to have approx. 6′ of board left. As you know,

wood has a grain pattern. These next steps will give your case

a more professional appearance.

Measure off the longest percentage of the angled 6′ board

(that’s your long point of that peculiar angle, the

other is the short point of that queer angle.)

Your angled measurements are 16 3/4″.short point

to short point. However, you will be cutting it 3″

longer than that, (for mistakes). So let’s just cut

our side pieces 20″ long. short to short.

Measure off the 6′ board from long point 20″, using a

speed square or framing square, make a mark and cut

your piece. (set this piece aside)

The longer remaining piece ought to have a short point.

Your goal to be attained now is to turn that piece around 180

degrees, and cut the short point again in order to

make it a long point.

Once you do this, your two 45 degree angles at the top

of the display case will fit and the grain will match.

It will look continuous. (match up all the angled

pieces until you find that grain match)

When you place the bottom piece up to the angled side

pieces to form the triangle you will detect that the

side pieces are too long. Just pencil mark the bottom

where it hangs over the bottom piece. That now is going

to be cut at a 45 degree. Make sure you cut the 45

degree angle the rectify way. Your end product should

be a short to short angled piece.

When you are marking the piece to be cut, likewise mark

the side of the board so you know for sure, which way

the wood ought to be cut.

Tack the frame together or use a strap to hold it in

position.

Measure the size of glass you will need.

We may measure the glass in two ways:

(1) -The precise size, minus 1/8th inch. (if you are going

to place a wooden corner cover over the glass and

attach it to the frame.) OR

(2) – The glass may be measured 1/4″ larger if it is going to be inserted into the frame.

Buy an 8′ piece of wooden corner board.

(for outside corners of walls) It is 3/4″ long on each

side of the 45 degree angle. Cut this to fit the

outside (facing) of the triangular frame you just made.

You may insert the glass from the back side after the

outside wooden corner’s are nailed on. Then you may cut and place 3

pieces of 1/4 “x 1/4″ molding on the inside to hold

the glass in place.

Inset glass involves using a table saw.

Set your table saw guide to 1/4″ from the inside of the saw blade to the guide itself.

Set the depth of the blade to 1/8th inch.

– If you recognise at the beginning that you will be insetting the glass, then cut the entire 8′ length of board at one time. It’s very difficult to cut little pieces like this and have it turn out correctly.

– If you have never applied a table saw, ask someone with experience to carry out this next step.—

Take the piece or pieces and with the table saw in operation, tardily guide the piece along the guide, making sure not too strength the cut. Be gentle. It’s wise to use a forked stick to push the wood through the cutting process.

There are jigs that may be purchased for just this job. Call a do-it-yourself place. They may aid you

Once you have your cuts made, you are ready to nail it together.

Use little trim nails (1 1/4″) long and nail frame together. With glass inserted into the cut grooves you just made.(Set nails with punch and color putty when done)

This is much requiring little effort if you have a brad gun. also place the frame so the glass is face down so it doesn’t break if it falls out for the duration of this process.

Take the frame and place it on some 3/16th luon (lew-on or oak paneling)

and trace the outside of your frame. Cut this out for the backing of your display case. (Stain edges with the proper color. For oak, you may use Minwax-Colonial Maple or Early American.)

You may drill with regards to 8 pilot holes through the 3/16″ luon into the wood frame. (On the Back Side) for screws. Insert your burial flag. Insert your screws.

–That’s a rap folks–your project is done.

Tools & Supplies

* Tape

* Pencil

* Circular Saw

* Speed Square (or)Framing Square.

* Sand Paper.

* Stain,Putty andPolyurethane

* Chop Saw (Mitre Saw)

* Cut Glass

* 2′ x 2′ piece of Oak or Maple paneling 3/16 or 1/4″ thick.

* Sponge or Brush.

* 3/4″ screws (8-10ea)

* Small box of 1 1/4″ trim nails. Or 1 1/2″.

* 8′- 1×4 board. (For your fdc frame.)

* 8′ Wooden (Outside corner board). 3/4″

* Safety Glasses!

***WARNING***

* The 1st time you

disrespect a Power tool, IT WILL disrespect YOU!

* If you have children

around, for the duration of the

building and cutting

process be sure to

UNPLUG POWER to all your tools until you use them again. Then, unplug them

again!

TIPS:

Don’t be in a rush. You may do this.

When ever you take a measurement add 1/16″ to it. (20 1/16″ rather of 20″) That way, you cut ON the line and you will always have the true measurement that you need.
