"Great job! Your work definitely stands out."

By far the best stars I’ve seen on a wood flag

I really like how you used the chisel to carve out the union. Great work.

That's incredible. Holy cow! I "have carve" stars with a dremel free hand, but this is a whole new level. Looks great!! Thanks for doing this video

Those are the best carved stars I’ve EVER seen! Thanks for showing me how. Now, I’ll go sharpen my two chisels (3/4" & 1/4”). Thanks!!

Man... I can see this being very time consuming, but the small detail are what makes woodwork stand out. I'm very serious when I say that these are the best start I've seen. Just using a palm router or Dremel doesn't look nearly as good. This is amazing. Thank you for giving me something new to learn

I have to agree with a lot of the comments that these are the best stars I have ever seen. Most are wanting to make them fast for quantity not quality. I’m teaching myself how to chip cut the stars which I have a long way to go and learning other methods besides CNCs, Dremel’s. Thank you so much for sharing how you accomplish your stars!

Wow! Amazing detail and that sets you apart from the rest. Beautiful work.

Great job!!!!

Wow, your technique is honestly the best I've seen on carving the union! And I've watched a lot lol. Definitely subscribing to the channel! Very precise stars bud, looks amazing!

Thank you for sharing this video. I've been painting my stars on some of my flags and bought wood stars for others. THIS is absolutely beautiful and more professional looking. Thanks again.

This may be the most impressive star set I’ve seen. I’ll have to try this when I want to roll out the red carpet for someone. Thanks for sharing!

You make it look so easy! I was so enthralled that I was literally trying to blow the wood chips off of my phone. Great video!

Beautiful, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my stars look that good. Great job. Thank you

I have to say, even though these are time consuming they are some of the best-looking stars that I have seen that aren't done by a CNC. I love it and I am defiantly going to give them a try.

Wow, I will say, the stars look really good. A lot of time in doing that.

I love the way your stars look. Great work.

This puts wooden flags on the next level. Nicely done.

Well done! Being in Texas has the advantage of only one star 😜. I am going to try your technique on the US flag. Thank you for a well done video 👍

They're so perfect. I'm getting emotional watching it.

Thanks for the video. Great instructions on carving. I’m subscribing. I can’t wait to mess up my fist couple dozens stars.

The recipient of a flag you made is getting patients, skill, and the love of perfection. Real works of art. If I were to get a flag of this quality I would want to see a few photos of the carving process to keep with my flag. People would want to see the work.

Bravo sir, bravo! I’ve been making these flags for a while now, and I have always used a Dremel to do the stars in the union. While I do make the union look really good, your method will just bring old glory to an entire different playing field! I thank you for showing us your technique and I will be using it here in about five minutes, but I will definitely be giving your channel the credit it deserves!

Amazing craftsmanship :)

Thanks for your video and tips. Those stars look great.

I been making flags for a while now been doing the stars manny different ways using a Dremel, a utility knife. I came across your post on KZfaq and you got me all fired up! So I started to hand sharpen my 1/4 & 3/4 chisels besides that the chisels weren’t sharpened to perfection my technique wasn’t there yet, so I went and bought diamond plated, sharpening plates, and a honing jig and kept watching you video over and over again and also watched videos on how to sharpen my chisels. Well my chisels are scary sharp now WHAT A DIFFERENCE it made. I’m on my way now the stars are starting to look like STARS. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us Thanks again.

Excellent DIY video, my friend. Your method looks so much easier than others I have watched. Thanks for sharing. Felix.

Beautiful work!!!! Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸👍

good work brother!

I have made over a dozen flags with this techniuqe. Thank you for this. My first union was GARBAGE lol. But now people love them when they get them! I owe my awsome flags partially to you and how to carve stars! THANK YOU!

Amazing!! Awesome job!!

That’s amazing!!! Love it

Very impressive. Hell of a skill you have.

Nice work! Really like how it looks.

Those lines are so crisp ! Job well done sir

Outstanding work.

Best stars I've seen! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Thanks!

Wow! Very nice work!

Nice job. They look great

very cool

Those are the best looking stars I've ever seen love them

Awesome! Best I’ve seen!

Beautiful work. That is craftsmanship

your skill is 2nd to none! Very impressive!

Great work and video. I really appreciate the time you put into your flags. Thanks!

That is beautiful, truly sets it apart!

Well done Sir. Love the depth each ridge adds to the star. Sets the union apart from others I've seen.

Awesome work buddy, cheers

Thank you for sharing.

Really slick, thank you

I just finished my first flag. I was all proud of it before I watched this. I'm throwing it right in the trash.

Great job!

Thank You for the tips/technique/Help ! !

wow, very delicate and detailed work😍

Great art. Skilled

We have made a lot of flags, however these hand carved stars are amazing! Great video great job

I like this

Thanks for the great vid!

Thank you for the video. I tried using my dremel tool and that is not easy. I'm going to try this for sure !!

MAHRONI, EXCELLENT VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR CARING SO MUCH ABOUT "OLD GLORY." MEN AND WOMEN HAVE GIVEN THE FULL MEASURE FOR THOSE STARS AND STRIPES AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT. THANK YOU ALSO FOR THE CLEAR, CONCISE, AND CARING INSTRUCTION..... KISS: Keep It Simple, SMART! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

That is awesome! I’ve always wanted to figure out how to do my stars like that. The best I’ve been able to do is with a Dremel. I am going to try this method. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Nice work, nice to see work done by hand and not CNBC machine.👏🏼🇺🇸👏🏼

That is amazing. I get stressed out using the star template and using spray paint trying to get clean lines. I don't think I've got the patients for carved or dremal. But the final product of your details are amazing!

Great video. Just practiced my first one after watching this...unfortunately, mine does not look as nice and it wasn't as easy as you made it seem. 🤣🤣🤣 more practice is in my future.

Thanks for the tutorial. My next flag I want to try this

Nice work thanks for sharing

Making it look easy!

Your quality of star carving is great! I can't bare to spray paint stars onto my flags. I use the dremel technique and yes it worked, but it was super dusty (even with the mini dremel fan attached to the drill tip), and it just does not have the upscale classy look that your chizel carved stars have. Also the dremel method still took me an hour and a half to complete 50 stars. So even if your chizel method takes me 2 hours for a 50 star union, I feel the carved stars upscale the flag look by 10 fold! My next flag project will be the "wavey" flag type, with your upscale chizel stars! Hmmm i think i better practice first on a flat union flag first though. TY for your skilled tutor tips for us newbies!

So awesome!!! I have watched your video more times that can count. I am new to carving and have been trying for days to mimic your technique. I am using pine and mine keep crumbling and splitting. You sure make it look a lot easier than it is! Thank you so much for making this video!!!

Beautiful, 😊

Wow very nice

Forget a CNC when can I hire this guy !!

I agree with most everyone who has seen your video. Your star making is enjoyable to watch and the results are amazing. I do have a question. How to you keep from getting paint bleed outside of your lines. Thank you for sharing your skills and answering my question, in advance

What's really sad is, you make it look easy enough to make people think they ca do it themselves...but I know it's entirely MORE difficult to get your kind of good and consistent results! Hope to know practice this to see how I do attempting this. Thanks for sharing!!

Best Stars thank you

Stunning work..WOW 🌟🇺🇸🌟 I was wondering about how many stars you can do before the chisels require honing or re-sharpening?

Those have to be the best looking stars Ive seen! I just started making wavy wooden flags and the stars are the biggest pain and being on curves some are very challenging. I use a Dremel with a 105 bit and magnifying glasses but between the glasses giving me vertigo and my shaky hand it's quite a process lol. Have you ever done this on curves?

Liked it

Nice

my wife is going to be so upset with you, now I need to buy chisels, very nice work man

Extremely labor intensive compared to using a Dremel. MUCH better results. You sir are an artisan!

Great job. I noticed your union has rounded edges, rather than square or pointed. I'd like to see a video of how you build a complete flag. Thanks man.

Thanks for sharing, your union is a beauty. On the subject of sharpening chisels…I see that sharp tools are key to your methods. How far do you take it? From the videos I have watched, there are folks out there putting insanely sharp edges on their tools. Can you tell us, in general, your basic approach? How far up the grit scale you go?

Wow, beautiful work. You do need chisel control to do that.

Think this would work on plywood? Ps. The birds in the background are relaxing. I love listening to birds while I’m outside lol P.s.s. I am glad there are still some people out there doing wood work by hand. None of that CNC bull crap.

wow

Great video, do you have to sharpen your chisel often

Great video! What wood species would you recommend for practicing carving? I’ve been carving a few stars on pine and have had limited success.

You know you a wood carver if you blew on the screen to get the wood chips out the way

Looks very good. Two days just to carve the 50?

Very nice work Sir, patience of Job doing a whole flag. How long start to finish? Who's was the 3rd hand that kept popping into camera view?

which type of wood are you using? I do slot in Doug fir but I seem to get splintering on some stars. your work is beautiful and there are still slot of people who appreciate work done with hand tools. Keep it up

Excellent video and instruction. Do you typically make your unions as one piece?

Nice work! Do you mind sharing the color and brand of stain you use. Thanks

Mahonri, I make flags and many of them I give them a "rustic" look. I have never made my stars like that, just painted, but I'm going to practice and start making a few like yours, I hope! Now, do you put paint in your starts and if you do, what paint do you use?

How long to do the entire union? Nice job!

What chisels do you use brand and type? Thanks

What type of wood are you using for the union? I’m using pine and it doesn’t come out that clean

Where have you been man?!
