no worries. you can use dowels...or biscuits...or dominos, all of which help in alignment during glue up. i used a couple of cauls instead.

Thanks

I don’t recall what size the drill bit was…I closely matched the holes already in the frame. The idea wasn’t to make the holes larger in diameter but elongate them side to side. As for the screws, I reused the original screws. Hope that helps.

Edit: sorry I thought this question was on another video. I used the screws the client provided, which I think were the original screws from the sewing machine.

I use Glidden premium exterior paint + primer. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw your comment. The shelves are 5 1/2”, 7 1/4” and 9 1/4” deep (inside dimension).

Thanks!

Thank you.

All the material came out of 2- 4’x8’ sheets, including the vertical pieces. The overall size is 30”x72”. Hope that helps.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Thank you very much.

Obrigada.

I’m glad. That’s all one can hope for.

😊

Thank you.

nope, just straight up satin white base.

I use Glidden premium exterior paint + primer. Hope that helps.

Thanks. No i don't. I do sand them with #150 though, just to take some of the roughness off, but far from smooth...in fact i try to keep as much rustic charm (saw marks etc) on them as possible.

Good luck. Let me know which way you end up going.

Thank you.

any recommendations?

@@saschawerks Sennheiser at $129 would be top of the line. Then you have Rode at $71, then you can go all the way down to the generic Chinese brands at about $5 to $7. Yeah, they are that cheap. All of them work, but the cheaper you go, the thinner the wire is, so the strain relief points will eventually fail, plus the cord gets a lot shorter. And they don't sound as good, a little bit "cardboard boxy" if that makes any sense. So it depends if you want something that will last one year, or 20 years. I'd watch a bunch of TH-cam review videos and try a few cheap ones out. If you like them, keep them. If not, send them back and upgrade to the next higher level. That is the best thing about Amazon is the returns are super easy and you can try out dozens of things until you find exactly the right one.

@@jimthesoundman8641 great thanks. I might try a budget friendly one and see how it goes.

i sharpen with Norton waterstones up to 8000 grid.

Hello.

I took an image of the flag and scaled it to the size that I was making. This can be done a number of ways, depending on how tech savvy you are and what programs you have at your disposal. I don't recall which program I used, might have been sketchup or even just MSPaint. Just for reference, I sell a small, medium and large version of the flag and for the small size I make, which is 22" x 11", the maple leaf measures 8 11/16" tall. Hope that helps.

@@saschawerks that works for me - that is pretty close to the size of the flag I want to make. Appreciate the quick comeback

Glidden premium satin exterior latex in “red geranium” from HD seemed a close match. This size flag is 44” x 22”, I also make them in 28” x 14” and 22” x 11”. I made the stencil myself. Printed it out on paper (over 4 pages for that particular size) , taped the pages together and cut it out and then traced that onto the 1/4” hardboard and then proceeded to cut that out with a jig saw and refined it by sanding until I was happy with it. Hope that answers your questions.

@@saschawerks yes it did. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

The official ratio is 2 to 1 for overall size. So the flag should be twice as wide as it is tall and the breakdown for the coloured section is 25% red 50% white 25% red of the overall width. Hope that helps.

@@saschawerks thank you for the reply much appreciated when I make one Im going to put my name and regimental number on it and then attach a police insignia on top of the maple leaf

@@burtgraham3689 would love to see pictures of the finished product.

what part of canada do you call home

@@burtgraham3689 I’m in Mississauga

Thank You.

No, i just brush it on very lightly and spread it out very thinly. Also the fact that the wood is charred, makes it not absorb paint as readily...

Thanks 👍

Thanks for your question. With 6 screws from the back. You can see it @ 10:21. EDIT: here's a better view: i.etsystatic.com/26266692/r/il/4f20de/2996552945/il_1140xN.2996552945_amuw.jpg

Thank you. I don't see why not. The great thing about making anything rustic is that it doesn't have to be perfect. Might just have to adjust the size, depending on how wide the pallet slats are. The official ratio should be 1 to 2...i.e. the flag should be twice as wide as it is high and the red/white/red should be 25%/50%/25% of the width. Hope that helps.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks. I use Glidden premium exterior paint + primer. Hope that helps.

Thanks. As mentioned in this video's description above, I sell these flags at my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/saschawerks I make 2 different styles (painted as shown in the video and charred). I offer 2 sizes. A small one (11"x22") and a large one, which is the one shown in the video, 22" x 44". Yes the wood is kiln dried SPF 1x6. The leaf template I made myself. I simply took a Canadian flag, scaled it to the size i wanted and printed out just the leaf (over 4 pages). I then pasted the pages together and cut out the leaf, traced it onto ¼" hardboard and cut it out. Hope that answers all your questions.

Thanks!

Thanks 👍

Thank you very much.
