Flag & awards case

[Joe Scharle]

Yesterday my last remaining daughter at State sent me an email asking how much it cost to make this. No problem; I've got enough scrap walnut.
Here's mine:

Joe,

Yours came out really nice. The prices on the link seem really high.

Nice piece of work, much better than paying the online price.

Nice job Joe. I'm sure your daughter will appreciate it more since you made it instead of her buying it...
Take care,

So what did you charge her??? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

That looks great, and I bet it's better built than the store bought one :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

How did you attache the front of the flag case?

Thanks for the link! I have to build one for a friend that has the flag and medals in one case. Wasn't sure what it should look like, but now I do!!

Travis, I used pocket screws (and glue) in the edges of the stiles of the rectangluar part. The triangular part was glued up. Covered the front with glued face frame (1/4") as a glass stop. The back has 1/4" hardboard screwed in. The glass is held in with a thin bead of silicone adhevsive. The top part is just glued to the lower half.
