Building A Flag Display Situation

Building A Flag Display Situation

Choose which size flag you'll be creating a flag display situation (fdc) for.
3'x5', 4'x6', 5'x9' (funeral)
Appraise the folded flag. Let's imagine we'll make use of the 5x9 funeral flag.

You'll need the underside (horizontal) measurement,
together with the 2 diagonal dimensions. Will also get
the thickness from the folded flag.

* bottom msmt: 24"

* diagonal msmt: 16 3/4 "

* thickness: 2 3/4 "

Choose the kind of wood you'll be using, let's imagine, we'll use oak.

A 1x4 bit of oak really measures 3 1/2 in
width, that is fine. Buy an 8' length. (for be-
ginners, just in case you will find mistakes)

Simply because our flag is pie, we'll
cut the angles on the 45 degree. This can be done having a
circular saw or perhaps a chop saw (mitre saw). Chop saws
give a far greater cut.

The underside measurement in our flag is 24". So our
inside measurement in our 45 degree cuts should be
a minimum of 24". I suggest cutting the size of board at 24 1/4"
(little play room for glass and flag)

You ought to have approximately. 6' of board left. You may already know,
wood includes a grain pattern. These next steps can give your situation
a far more professional appearance.

Measure from the longest area of the tilted 6' board
(that's your lengthy reason for that specific position, the
other may be the short reason for that specific position.)

Your tilted dimensions are 16 3/4".short point
to short point. However, you'll be performing 3"
more than that, (for mistakes). So let us just cut
our side pieces 20" lengthy. short to short.

Measure from the 6' board from lengthy point 20", utilizing a
speed square or framework square, create a mark and cut
your piece. (set this piece aside)

The more remaining piece must have a brief point.

Your objective now's to show that piece around 180
levels, and cut rapid point again to be able to
turn it into a lengthy point.

When you do that, your two 45 degree angles at the very top
from the display situation will fit and also the grain will match.
It'll look continuous. (complement all of the tilted
pieces before you discover that grain match)

Whenever you put the bottom piece as much as the tilted side
pieces to create the triangular you will see that the
side pieces are extremely lengthy. Just pencil mark the underside
where it dangles within the bottom piece. That now's going
to become cut in a 45 degree. Make certain you cut the 45
degree position the right way. Your finish product should
be considered a short to short tilted piece.

When you're marking the piece to become cut, also mark
along side it from the board which means you know without a doubt, which way
the wood ought to be cut.
Tack the frame together or make use of a strap to carry it in
position.

Measure how big glass you'll need.
We are able to appraise the glass in 2 ways:

(1) -The precise size, minus 1/eighth inch. (if you are planning
to position a wooden corner cover within the glass and
attach it towards the frame.) OR

(2) - The glass could be measured 1/4" bigger if it will be placed in to the frame.

Buy an 8' bit of wooden corner board.
(for outdoors corners of walls) It's 3/4" lengthy on each
side from the 45 degree position. Cut this to suit the
outdoors (facing) from the triangular frame you simply made.

You are able to place the glass in the back side following the
outdoors wooden corner's are nailed on. You'll be able to cut and put 3
bits of 1/4 "x 1/4" molding inside to carry
the glass in position.

Inset glass involves utilizing a saw.

Set your saw help guide to 1/4" from inside from the saw edge towards the guide itself.
Set the depth from the edge to at least oneOreighth inch.

-- Knowing at the start that you'll be insetting the glass, then cut the whole 8' period of board previously. It's tough to cut small pieces such as this and also have it come out properly.

-- For those who have not used at all a saw, request someone with experience to do the following step.---

Go ahead and take piece or pieces along with the saw functioning, gradually advice the piece across the guide, ensuring much less pressure the cut. Be gentle. It's smart to utilize a forked stay with push the wood with the cutting process.
You will find jigs that may be bought just for this task. Call a do-it-yourself place. They will help you
After you have your cuts made, you are prepared to nail it together.

Use small trim nails (1 1/4") lengthy and nail frame together. With glass placed in to the cut grooves you simply made.(Set nails with punch and color putty when done)

This really is much simpler for those who have a kaira gun. also put the frame therefore the glass is face lower therefore it does not break whether it is lost throughout this method.

Go ahead and take frame and put it on some 3/16th luon (lew-on or oak paneling)
and trace the outdoors of the frame. Cut this out for that backing of the display situation. (Stain edges using the proper color. For oak, you should use Minwax-Colonial Walnut or Early American.)

You are able to drill 8 pilot holes with the 3/16" luon in to the wood frame. (Around the Back Side) for screws. Place your funeral flag. Place your screws.

--This is a rap folks--any project is performed.

***Read everything, before you decide to try anything***

***WARNING***

* The first time you
disrespect a Saw, It'll disrespect YOU!

* For those who have children
around, throughout the
building and cutting
process make sure to
UNPLUG Energy to any or all your tools until they are being used again. Then, unplug them
again!

TIPS:

You shouldn't be inside a hurry. This can be done.

Whenever you are taking a measurement add 1/16" into it. (20 1/16" rather than 20") This way, you cut At risk and you'll also have the real measurement that you'll require.
