Hey Max, I am truly enjoying your videos and am learning quite a bit. I do have a question. Maybe it is my OCD but do you have any people complaining to you about the stripes not running the correct direction? Meaning, if I am seeing this correctly, the union is in the top right corner of the flag, instead of the top left like it should be. Maybe I am overthinking this, but I was curious if I am the only one that sees it this way. Either way, great idea and nicely done.
@MaxF01
@MaxF01 Жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot Michael!! So I believe when you hang a flag vertically the union would still go in the top left corner, if i were to turn it horizontal then it would definitely be wrong but with it vertical i think this is correct but i could be wrong. But anyways thank you for the feedback I appreciate it!! 😁🙏🏼

Max, I have really been enjoying your how-to videos, very informative, please keep them coming. I feel I have to mention shop safety though. I am not the safety police, and God knows I have made my fair share of bone-head moves in the shop. I would highly recommend checking out some videos on how to make safe cuts on your table saw, I know Stumpy Nubs has some good videos on this. Watching you make those free handed cuts on your table saw made me very nervous as I have had a board kick back on me before on a table saw. The table saw used to always scare me a little until I watched some good safe practices videos from some experts. Now I am much more careful and confident that I am not putting my body parts in harms way. Keep up the great work, and please keep all your digits safe!

@MaxF01
@MaxF01 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Hmm that one almost might work with a 1x2 or 1x3. For this one i pretty much just did what the size of the normal flag would be (37" by 19.5") so you could probably do the same for the small one and then it would just be a matter of how wide the board would have to be in proportion to the hight and width of the cross. And for the location of the horizontal piece on the cross, its just wherever the bottom of the stencil would be so in the case of the small one it would be 7 inches. If you would like i could try make one with the small union and see how it goes.
