August 19, 201510 yr Need a plan for a burial flag box. Late father-in-law's flag needs a box. Angles? Glass? Back? Joints? BTW: I just got MY military ID today! Good til I turn 65..... Supplies for the flag box?
August 19, 201510 yr Steve, IM me here on site. I'll send you a copy of my plan. If I get the time I'll redraw it and publish it here in the plans section.
August 19, 201510 yr Author i MIGHT have enough of that White oak to use for this. Flag was upstairs in a closet, in the room that had a fire.....that was close! Boss wants a case for it, since it is her dad's burial flag.

August 28, 20169 yr Here's one I made, thinking you guys would appreciate it. The flag case is pretty standard fare, the base and pedestal are nothing special. Picked up the coins online at a fair price...all in all it turned out pretty nice and was warmy recieved.
August 28, 20169 yr Very, very nice. Love the raised trim detail on the perimeter of the frame front.

I love the dark tone of the finish and the the place for the photo is especially a nice touch. I can tell you put your heart into it, great job sir, and I am sure the family loved it.
August 29, 20169 yr thank you gentlemen... actually this was a project that my grandson and I took on for his great grandfather....in many regards a worth while project.

The boys great-grandfather was a fine fellow and took great pride in his service to country. This display case sits proudly on a mantel at one of his daughters home.

My appologies John, I just seen you had posted. Regarding the picture, that was a "surprise" when my grandson presented the case w/flag to the 2 daughters. I wasn't there when he gave it to them but from what I was told, wasn't a dry eye in the house...sometimes things just kinda work out ya know...
