Learne all the details of cutting a mitered edge dovetail joint here: https://youtu.be/9ZzpnH3rn5I
Great to see you do a complete piece of work. Ash is a favourite timber and I agree with you about a simple wax finish. However I was disappointed with your use of plated cross head screws surely slotted brass screws would be more appropriate? 😃
Nicely done! I might have missed it but what wood is that?
Great project, making one for my father’s flag
Great job. I would have used the ebony veneer on the main dovetail corner as well.
Ross from Australia
Thanks
Luv those cauls. Thank you.
Beautiful work as usual Rob. Why does your 5 1/2 plane have 3 holes on its side?
Beautiful work Rob! I have my grandfather’s flag and have been wanting to build a box for it. I have to continue to thank you for everything you do. In April of 2021, you called me to wish me a happy birthday (you had already sent me a card!) and to encourage me to finally start cutting dovetails. Fast forward to today…I just finished creating your small box design with the wooden hinge and beautifully hand cut dovetails. It was built to hold a small comfort bird that I carved for a friend fighting cancer. I will be giving it to him tomorrow. The things you do touch so many Rob.
You really do fine work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and giving us all something to aspire to!
A beautiful piece of work Rob. I think this is outstanding, a Canadian honoring US servicemen. As you were doing this display case for an American flag I began to wonder how other countries flags are displayed. Are any other flags displayed triangularly as is the US flag?
Great video. I’m a Canadian vet that did this for one of my CO’s that retired. However, I went a bit further, and built it into a shadow box. This made for a great way to display a flag as well as my CO’s medals.
Good man,great craftsman,honors vets.
What more can you ask?
This is timely for me. My 90 year old father, who was a Korean war veteran (bronze star and purple heart recipient) passed away last August, and had a military ceremony at his grave side service. I received the flag that covered his casket, but it was put into a plastic wrapper to protect it.
Your demonstration here gave me several ideas to build a case, although the dimensions will be a bit larger due to the size of the flag.
Thank you for the great demonstration and helpful ideas!!
An absolutely beautiful outcome, and informative video. I have made 5 of these flag boxes over the years for friends, though mine look like some kid in high school shop class did the work. As I am sure you know, there is no greater joy in woodworking than to see the appreciation from the vet’s family. The scary part was making sure I did not get the flag dirty, or have it unfold. As there is something close to sacred about the way the military does the grave site folding. Thanks for sharing…… and could you share what brand name wax you used.
Rob and crew,
The small things that you do make a big diffrence.
This project is one that I have had a hard time getting my brain to “work it out” and you make it look easy. Thank you.
AMAZING WORK as Always!!!
By the way, what is up with new hair style???…..lol……been a while since I’ve had time to watch videos lately.
Keep Up the GREAT Work!!!
Hi Bob. My first video. Wow, what skill with the details. I really appreciate your work. Very nice. I do love hoe you use the hand planner. Very sweet.
Beautiful work!
I absolutely love this project..the ash and ebony looks great. Thanks Rob for another great video!
