      Paw Paw’s WorkShop some of the best tips you can find about anything are the ones you don’t need to pay for... I’ve bought absolutely NOTHING and have build dozens of projects. This video right here is the best advice I’ve ever found for assembling these flags... thank you Sir!

    Thank you so much for sharing. I will be making one as soon as I can. Question for you: are you not using any glue? Is it true that if you use glue the flag will wrap after some time?

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It all depends on the wood you use. Many people use to lowest grade of wood possible. High moisture and splits and knots all cause problems.

  • @mikeledee8786
    @mikeledee8786 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Information. When I cut my wood slats for a wood flag I end up with a few slats that are curved in the center (don't know why), causing me to not use that wood or if the curve is not too bad to clamp the slats together tight that results in uneven surface, any suggestion on this issue? Thanks.

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually this is because of wet wood. It will warp, bow, and cup quickly after cutting as the result of the wood drying unevenly.

    • @mikeledee8786
      @mikeledee8786 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So those boards are unused for the flag, correct?

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes, if they warp too much then they are not used.

    I see you did screw your bars to the jig. Was it easier than having them loose? I have a small shop. Would there be any down fall of assembling this upright (15 degree) lean compared to laying flat? Thanks for the jig design.

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I glue the flag and no glue does not get on the jig. If that is a concern, put wax paper down first.

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually I just glue and staple the keeper to the slats. I have done it both ways and gluing the slats does not seem to make a difference. Thank you for watching

    The quarter inch strips on your jig.. Are they on all 6 clamps.. or just the 3 top ones??

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You only need them on the top clamps. It is necessary to provide extra clamping power to the jig.

    hey paw paw what actual size are your 1x2's are they 1.5?....where do you but them..? like i said at lowes they were only 1.4375 wide but i used furring strips 1x2...maybe if i look at the premium 1x2 it will be 1.5 wide but cost a lot more??....the furring strips are rounded on edges and not square

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually don't use the 1x2. I purchase my wood from Home Depot. I find that it is of better quality than Lowes. I don't like the 1x2 because of the rounded edges and the size. I used the 1x4 furring strips and cut the edge off first on one side, then cut to the 1.5 that I need. The edges are sharp. However, after that flag, I use the 2x4 and resaw, then cut to size. It's more labor intense, but it is a lot cheaper and I get a better quality flag than using the furring strips. Being on a fixed income, every penny counts. I pick through the 2x4s carefully to get the best ones.

      hi paw apw..i dont have a workshop like you so i have to buy my stuff with least amount of after purchase work...i dont have the tools or the table saw skills to be cutting down etc etc..for now .i dont mind the rounded edges it gives the flag some dimension depth to it ...i think if i make another one i will just reduce my union to 10 1/8 and use the 1x2 furring strips that are smaller width but real cheap and easy..takes a while to find straight ones lol..but worth it...either way its done the final product looks good... thank you....@@PawPawsWorkShop

    Have you ever used cedar to make a flag. Is it hard to carve stars in it?

    • @PawPawsWorkShop
      @PawPawsWorkShop  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cedar is a very soft wood and will work just fine. It will require sanding of the stars to clean up the edges. This wood will have a lot of fuzzies.

    Hi paw paw... Ive been reviewing all the youtube millionaires and it seems if you can grab a guitar and play a van halen or led zeppelin or jimmy hendrix song you can become a millionaire within 1-2 yrs... If you are a young kid .. So why dont you team up with one of your grandkids and grab a geetar and get to work on a video... It seems many parents and grandparents are doing this and using their kids to become millionaires... :) youtube is making it just too easy to become a millionaire .. The days of working hard and going to,school and learning are slowly becoming extinct and you can thank the internet and sites like youtube and facebook for this disturbing trend....
