I think this is the best looking wavy flag I have seen. The waves look very natural.

I'm late to the game, but I want to thank you for the video. I've watched multiple waving flag build videos, and this is by far the best way I've seen to do this. Great work.

Great idea cascading the curve at inch intervals for a repeatable design - much faster than flap sanding from the squared stock.

Made one, working on another. Only change I made was a light coat of white stain on the white areas (bare wood on yours). Painted the field white, added stars then sprayed the blue. Great video for instruction, wasn’t sure if above my paygrade (am no carpenter). And my bench top band saw didn’t like cutting the length 2x4 so clamped on one end and used jig saw, worked fine. Thanks again.

Good video, like the template for the waves. Your flag dimensions are off just a little though - the stripes should be 36 inches long not 40. Length of US flag is 1.9 x Height, height is 13 x stripe width, so using 2x4 for your stripes the actual stripe width is 1.5 inches, therefore Length = 1.5 in x 13 x 1.9 = 37.05. The waves in the flag would further shorten the length a little so cut length of stripes only need to be 36 inches long. The size of the Union Height = 7 x 1.5 in = 10.5, Union Length = 0.76 x Flag Height (19.5 in) = 14.8 in. Amazon has the Union stencil in a 10.5 in x 14.8 in size.

I made this as a belated Christmas present. It is beautiful! I did notice that even though I screwed the pieces together, there was some accordion style bending. I went ahead and used a couple thin pieces of wood to reinforce it from the back so there was no movement to the pieces. I will hang some heavy duty sawtooth hangers on those pieces of wood to finish up. Thanks so much for the idea and instructions.

I built a jig to help me keep it flat when I screwed it together. Jig = plywood 25” X 42” plus a 42” 2x2 on top side and 23” 2x2 on left side (make sure it is square) This allows me to butt each board next to each other

Other question would be could I technically make my flag bigger without cutting it down for example if I wanted it bigger than 37x19?

@diydallas 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Joey. Yea, you can absolutely make it 37x19. If you’re careful with the bandsaw cuts, you can use the off cuts and make a second flag.

Love this flag and the video. I printed the wave stencil but it only measures 40 in. Did I miss something because it looks like you are using a longer pattern piece to allow for the movement of the 1 inch increments. I have cut all of my 2x4 ‘s but I’m afraid to start cutting the waves until I’m sure I understand.

You can make the wave each there own shape. It takes a bit of experimenting.

Great video and project! Question on the template. When I printed it out it seems a little small. At the tallest point it was only 1-1/2" Am I supposed to print this out at a larger scale? What should that dimension be at the highest point of the curve? Yours looked just a little short of the 3-1/2" Any clarity here is appreciated. Thx!

@diydallas 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Donny. So I have experimented with the height of the template. To get a bit more height, I usually just use the one provided, but hold it about 1/2-3/4 inch higher on the 2 x 4 before I trace the line to compensate. Hope this makes sense.

Thank you. I ended up buying my vinyl stars off Etsy for now. The first flag, I applied directly to the wood. Not sure if I used too much pressure or what but small slivers of wood came up when I removed that I had to repair. Since then, I put down a coat of poly on the surface in the Union area and that solved the problem for me. Anyway, I think using the vinyl stars is definitely the way to go vs trying to hand rout them with a dremel. Looks so much nicer. Thanks again for putting this video out there
