If you are feeling quite a bit innovative and crafty, you may choose to start your own project and make yourself a flag case instead of buying off from the market or internet. Choosing some layout design and instructions off the internet, you may already feel confident of making a good output. The steps are generally simple, but it takes better outcomes to remember some minor details and reminders to consider.
The very first thing you would have to remember is to provide a little allowance to the wood cuts as you create the base. Generally, the size is a quarter inch less of 17 from short to short point. In this manner, providing a little extra allowance for mistakes should peg you at around 20 by 20 inches.
Once you have the initial rough cut, you may already saw off the excess. In case of a perfect cut with the allowances, you would need to mark the 6” extra, and then have it turn around 180 degrees before cutting the short point once more. By this time you should be holding on to two pieces of 45 degree cuts.
The next tip in creating your own flag case is to make sure that the wood grain will be continuous when you attach them. This would provide a more presentable view to the eyes upon closer inspection. It is a rule of thumb to consider wood grain arrangement when working with wood so as to create a desired effect.
After following the instructions of how to make the flag case be short angle to short angle, you may see if there are excess wood sticking out of edges, in which case you may easily mark them off with a pencil and carefully saw them or finish them off with sandpaper.
