    Just starting into flags and was really concerned about using the plastic stencil with the dremel . You relieved my concern over that so, THANKS! Because I was worried about using the plastic stencil , I bought the metal set from Amazon, 3 sizes for $50. I also plan on making wavy flags too so the metal won’t work as well as the plastic I’m sure. I’ve been woodworking for many years but flags are going to be my new signature project I hope . Really liked your video.

    I did my first wavy flag and I put off doing the stars because I knew it was going to be a pain and I was right! I took my Dremel Stylo and put in a 105 bit and even with cheaters on I couldn't really see when the tiny tip was going to hit the wood, fortunately they came out great but it took me almost 2 hours to do a 1776 with the 13 stars. The flag came out amazing and already sold it but what a process! Too bad Dremel doesnt have a router attachment thats only about 3/4" round so it could follow the curves.

I usually use my Dremel Stylo with a 105 bit and free hand it just fine but always looking to speed things up if I can.

    I’ve been looking at ways of making the wavy flag and came accross your video about doing the stars. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and show us a way to do it. I have the same dremel with that base and the extension. I made asian character wall plaques and it was very tedious and time consuming. While watching your video I thought, if someone had the time or wanted to make many flags, why not make a jig to cut out most of the star with the dremel with regular cutter like a router template, THEN to get the corners of the stars sharp, use a chisel to get the corners on a line from one point to the other and so on. Thanks again for your video!

    Thanks for the great video Dan. I just received all the accessories so I thought I'd give this a shot. I set the ball of the bit just below the surface of the template and tested using the small template on both pine and ply. The bit does one of two things, either it hangs up on the wood and I can't move it or if I do get it to move it cuts beyond the star and into the plastic. I occasionally smell the wood burning. Any clue whatI could be doing wrong?

    • @danob653
      @danob653  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you sure you got the correct bit? If you are just below the surface of the plastic it should guide it fine. If it is too deep, it will hang because the bit cant travel farther than the shaft on the thin surface of the wood that's left. Make sure your speed is high on the dremel and don't use alot of force - let the dremel do the work. Hope this helps. Good luck! (in the video, I feel I was just a hair to deep, as you can see a bit of curling on the surface)

    • @danob653
      @danob653  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've thought about that. They have adhesive sheets that you can overlay on the union. You would have to cut through that and the wood using the Dremel and stencil. I've seen it done very cleanly on a CNC, never seen it by hand but it should be almost the same. If so, you have a clean way to paint/fill with resin and not bleed onto the blue in the union. That's all I can think of as a decent option.

    Can you give any detail on how you set up the depth of your bit to get the cut just below the template but also not cut the template itself? That's what I am concerned about.

    • @danob653
      @danob653  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Sorry it took so long to reply. I just eyeball it and then test on a scrap before I start. It's a little tricky to get it just right, as the Dremel doesn't have a real adjustment screw, you have to wiggle it to the point you need it.

      It rides on the smooth edge of the bit. You really don't apply much pressure, just let the tool work.

    Great idea! Can’t wait to try this.. when you burn the stripes and the stars is that after you apply stain or prior?

      Stripes and union prior to stain, small torch on the stars after carving.

    I wanna know what stain people are using that doesn’t bleed deep into the wood. Because that’s been my problem. Seems no matter how deep I dremel down into the wood some spots have a blue tint.

    • @danob653
      @danob653  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's Minwax water based semi-transparent stain. I cannot remember if it was Home Depot or Lowes that I got it at, but they do have to mix it for you.

    Great video, I was looking for a way of doing this uniformly. I didn't want to just put stickered stars on mine. Just a little nitpicking; but as you go along making more videos, try to catch yourself when you pause between thoughts/sentences with "um". I'm one of those (character flaw of mine, I'm sure) that starts to focus on that, as the video goes on. If you watch other Maker's Videos; they all start out a bit rough, but learn as they go. I'm sure you'll improve with time! Again; thanks for the great tips! I have a Dremel setup like yours, and I never thought of using it this way.

    • @enrk2006

      On a 106 bit, you position the cutter just below the stencil, so the shaft rides harmlessly along the edge of the stencil.

    • @danob653
      @danob653  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes...get a piece of scrap and try it. The tip is just below - too deep and it won't work, at least with that bit, and if it's that deep on another bit you'll be burning the wood. Good luck!

    Cool idea. Need to update my Dremel to a model that accommodates the cutting base. Do you run into any problems with the cord getting in your way? Seems like a cordless model would be more convenient but batteries don’t appear to last long based on some review.

    • @danob653
      @danob653  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No issues at all with the cord. I do have a cordless one (Dremel Micro) that I use for my dog's nails (got it because it was a bit quieter and didn't spook her as much), but I've noticed the cordless tends to bog easier and doesn't have the horsepower in my opinion. If it meets too much resistance, it dies and you have to turn it on again which can be a pain no matter what you're doing, and as the battery depletes, it happens more frequently. The model I have also will not accommodate the router base the corded one will. But if you have one that does, give it a shot and let us all know how it works.

    How do you prevent from routering your stencil and ruining it?

    • @danob653
      @danob653  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Set the ball of the bit just below the surface of the stencil so only the shaft rides on the stencil's edge. It's a little tricky to get it just right, but do it on some junk wood to try and go as shallow as you can without interfering with the stencil. If you go too deep, it will dig/carve under the edge of the stencil. Let me know if you have any issues...Good luck!

  • @XxLetsDewThisxX
    @XxLetsDewThisxX 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tried this. Not a lot of pressure at all, letting the tool do the work. The bit was under the template and it still melted the template and messed it up.

    • @danob653
      @danob653  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe your stencil was a little thinner than mine? They do make metal ones you can buy, this worked for me so I never bothered, but if you're having issues, it would probably make sense to step up to that one, I know it's frustrating to make a mistake when it's not your fault!
