Thank you so much!! I try to build things that are unique in a way. They're more fun to build. :)

Thanks!!

Thank you so much. It was a great idea, I can work later at nights now, and not have to worry of waking the kids up with the sound of a power saw. :)

Thank you!

:)

Thanks for the compliment.....I think :/

Thank you Dotti3, I'm very pleased on the way it turned out. :)

Haha, I'm one step ahead of you. I actually installed ceiling lights on the porch. If you look right above the right post, you will see the dusk to dawn eye sensor for the ceiling lights. :)

lol...Yeah, I also added a mini frig, and hung a small TV....haha

Roughly 14x18. Not very big, but it gets the job done. :)

Thanks! :)

No they don't have to be displayed. In some of my other projects, there are some in the picture. And no, I'm not mad for you asking. :)

I'm sorry, usually I get email notices of people commenting on my projects, so sorry for the delay response. I have recieved an email last Friday the 10th about my winnings. It takes little over a month until you start getting your tools...Oh, and Congrats to you! :)

Thank you!

It took me about 3 times to get it right. The hardest part was getting it to whenever you pull the trigger, it releases the star one click, before the hammer stops the star from spinning anymore. If that makes any sense?...haha... basically, one side releases while the other side catches. If that isn't perfect, the tension from the rubberbands will spin the star to quickly, then releasing all the rubberbands at once. If you decide to make one in the future, make the trigger and star out of scrap, until you get it right,(it'll take a couple tries) then use it as a pattern for the good piece. The star will take the most beating, so use a strong wood....I thank you for your compliments!! :)

Thank you

Thank you!... I had so many people fighting over this one, so I'm in the process of making another... stay tuned! :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the compliments. That is exactly what the woman who bought it off of me, is using it for.(covered patio) I lucked out finding the head and footboard for free. But I know Goodwill is a great place to start in finding one. Our local one has 6 to choose from. So I may have to make another here in the future. :)

Thanks! I used a black chalk paint, scuffed all the edging, then cleared with a matte finish.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks! Ever since I made this one, I have loads of people asking for one. I thought the cupboard underneath would give it a unique look.

Thank you! When I sanded it, I tried to make the seat look like it had a lot of butts sit on it over the years..haha.

Thank you! I figured since it was a bench made from a door, might as well add all the elements. I also didnt make the back as high as a tree hall bench. It gave it a different stance as well.

I don't really have any plans for it. Basically you need (2) 5 panel doors. Cut all the panels out, and then start piecing together. The pictures should help in how the pieces all come together. Everything I build, is basically a build as you go type of thing. No plans.. :)

You will need a 2x12 for the seat though

Thank you!...Yes, it only takes one 5 panel door to do so. I can't even begin to think, how many of theses I have made for people..lol

Julie, I don't have any instructions, but I did find a link that shows you how to cut the door out... One thing I will mention is you will have to build support for under the seat like i did, otherwise the seat may break. As long as you put support beams under it, you can have two people sit on it no problem... Here is a link, i hope this helps! :) http://lovegrowswild.com/2016/01/old-door-new-bench/

Thank you for the link. Love the job you did on your!

Monak, these projects are submitted by various RYOBI Nation members and therefore do not always have detailed instructions. However, the creator of this project gave a helpful link in the comments above. If you are looking for projects that give step-by-step directions, please check out the How-To tab above and the featured projects listed under there. Sorry for any confusion!

Thank you! I thought by having the seat in different tones, it would add some flavor to it. :)

Thank you

Thanks! I came to the conclusion, that a dremel tool works the best, it's a lot faster, and easier than a chisel.

Thank you! I really appreciate that. :)

Thank you! :)

Yeah, I have to admit, that man cave is pretty darn impressive. Quite a collection, you almost don't notice the flag...lol

Yeah, I'm pretty quick at building as i go with no plans. With it being just a prop for inside a haunted house, it didn't have to be too perfect.

You can make it basically any size you want. I cut a whole bunch of strip of wood, varying in length and width. Then I painted some red and white. I then used my nail gun, and nailed them to a piece of plywood, while staggering different lengths and widths to give the effect. I left the field one height/thickness, and then cut out some stars and nailed them on. I then took a torch and torched some of the grooves and corners, and lightly over whole piece to tone down the colors. And then slap on some type of frame.

Thanks! The bottom was built as if it were raised off of the floor, but it actually wasn't. It gave the illusion as if it were, which made the hidden compartment big enough to squeeze in. His legs are hidden under the base of the table, while the rest of his body is hidden inside of the side legs which is painted black. With the main lights off in the room, this looked as if it were a shadow from the table cloth. As for the scare, it was spot on. I wish I was able to upload a video of some of the people getting scared. :)

Thanks! It was a fantastic scare. No one knew where he came from.

Thanks! I also agree about the coffee table. I've been doing so many flags for people lately. I'm looking forward to going back, and doing some more furniture here soon.

I drew them onto a piece of wood, and then used my scroll saw to cut them out.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)

Thanks!..I Googled an image, and carbon papered it on. Since I made this flag, I've had so many requests. Being that it takes so long to hand wood burn them, I'm actually having a pattern plasma cut out of steel this week. That way I can just lay the steel pattern down, and hit it with the torch, to save tons of time instead of hand burning it.

Thanks man! :)

I had someone plasma cut the marine logo out of steel for me. I tried it out yesterday and it worked. All I have to do now, is lay the steel pattern down, and torch it on. This saved me tons and tons of time. I actually made 3 of these flags yesterday. When you torch the pattern on, you have to make sure the pattern lays flat on your piece. Otherwise the flame may go under the pattern, and wont be a crisp line. The first one ^ I just traced the logo on with carbon paper and used a regular wood burner, which took a lot more time to do. As for a video, I dont have much time these days to edit one. :/

Depending on size of flag, usually runs $150-$200...not including shipping.

About $175...not sure what shipping would cost.

Yes I could. It cost me $50 for the steel cut out, not sure what the cost to ship would be though?

The guy who use to plasma cut things for me, ended up selling his cutter.  :/  I only have connections to a laser cutter now, for leather, plastics, thin woods, foam etc.

I've been working a lot lately, not sure if I'd be able to get to it by the end of this month.  :/

Ok, no problem.  I would like to still order one for when you do get to it- I can give to him for the next big holiday or whenever, so no rush but I definitely would like to get one ordered.  Do you have an Etsy page or website or something easier to place an order on? How much did you say it was again? Just let me know when I can order and how to go about this.  I love your work. Thanks so much! 

Hi! How can order one of these from you? Do you have an Etsy page or a website or something where I can order one?

Unfortunately I'm booked up until the new year. The next size up would be a 3'x5', those run $295 not including shipping.

Thanks!..I've been making so many flags lately. It was nice doing something different for a change..haha

Pennsylvania....I also did a Punisher Skull as well... It should be posted here soon.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I make alot of these now for people. Not sure that my friend would sell his..lol..but I can always make more. :)

I googled "punisher skull" to find an image, blew it up, and traced it onto some ply. I then glued and nailed the field and stripes to the board, then I traced the pattern over it one more time. I cut the edges with my band saw. As for eyes and nostrils, I drilled a small hole, and then used my scroll saw for the inside cuts. Hope this helped some. :)

I'm currently doing a new shop, so I won't be able to make anymore until April or May. But I usually sell them $100, not including shipping.

Thanks! I cut all the stripes etc. out to fit the plywood pattern. I then used a propane torch, and torched the stripes, and where the stars go. I then used a dremel tool to carve the stars out. Then I glued and nailed each piece into place. And when it was put together, I torched the entire piece again in certain areas. It was all done by using a propane torch. And the name ribbons were hand burned with a woodburner.

Thanks!...Lately it's been nothing but flags..lol.. Hopefully I'll get a chance and do some more furniture sometime soon. I have to say though, this has to be one of my favorites. :)

Thanks!... It would be do'able. The Sheriff badge was 3'x3'. Which seemed to be a nice size for a wall hanging. I'd have to look into seeing how much something that size would be to ship.

I PM'd you on FB.

Thanks! I drew the ribbons up in photoshop (along with the type) so they would be clean, printed them out for a pattern, traced them onto the wood and cut them out.

Yes...actually have had so many requests after this one, that I'll be busy till first week of June.

Honestly, I had a hard time trying to find one myself...lol.. So I just drew one. Basically all you have to do is draw a triangle, and then draw another one upside down. It may take awhile to get the triangle shape right, but once you do, it's easy to make. If that doesn't work, you can always Google an image, and have Staples or a copy place, blow it up to the size you want. :)

Thanks!

I have no idea. I made it so long ago...lol.. Basically I messed around drawing a triangle that I could then flip upside down to make the star. It took me awhile to get it to look right. It may be easier to find one online and then have a copies place like Staples blow one up to size.

Thanks

Turned out great!! I love this project.

Turned out great!! I love this project.

I would definitely keep it for myself. Lol. I love that kind of stuff

I'm interested in buying one can you contact me J. Whitworth 417-350-3824 email whitty@leatherneckforlife.com would love to have one made or started ASAP if possible! Sincerely CPL Whitty USMC

Its okay if you don't want to, but would you be willing to share the plans for this project?

Thanks!...I thought about keeping it for myself...lol

The flag top was 2'x3', and it sat 17" high.

I make the flag first. I use furring strips that you can purchase at Lowes for about $2 a board. (You can make 2 stripes out of one board). I use a small propane torch to burn the stripes, carve the stars out with a dremel tool, then go back and burn the flag one more time for a rustic look. The frame/etc. is also made from furring strips, and legs were made from 4x4s. Then use black chalk paint, once painted, then scuff all of the edges with a mouse sander, clear with a matte or satin finish. Bottom shelf was made from pine tongue and groove, which is also fairly cheap from Lowes or Home Depot, also use torch to burn that as well...Then add the flag top! That's about it in a nut shell. You may get more pointers by looking at some of my other flag projects. Hope this helped some! :)

I use to use a chisel, but it takes to long. I found out that a dremel is way quicker and easier to use.

Sorry for late reply. I use to get email notifications when people would comment, but I'm no longer getting any??..The answer to your question is just a hair shy of 1 7/8".

If he doesn't reply to you, contact me and I can see what I can do for you. marinewoodworker@cox.net

Tables $210....Punishers $100

Yes, I used a separate piece for the field/stars.. This table ended up having a piece of glass set inside of the frame to protect the flag tabletop. Customer's request.

The frame has triangles, in each of the four corners. I also have an edge on the inside, on both ends of the table. You can sort of see them in the frame picture. I have holes drilled in them, so all I had to do is lay the flag ontop, and then run screws up through the holes, into the back of the flag.

I burnt the 'field' section first, and then used a dremel to carve the stars. Roughly 1/8" to 1/4" deep.

Thank you!

With prices of materials now, they sell for $275 not including shipping.

Do you know a general idea how much it would cost to ship to Iowa?
Thanks

4x4s....then routered a design

I just used wood glue and brads. I glued and nailed it into the edges of the flag, the whole way around and also the ends where the frame pieces meet. I have no measurements for the frame. It was sort of a build as you go type of thing.

They run $295 now, not including the shipping. I'm currently not making anymore until after the new year.

Thank you!

Thanks! I originally started to make the table without the "X". But I thought the X would add to the look and overall design. So I threw that in.

Yeah it was a very very quick flip. I wasn't looking for perfection. Just something that looked decent, and was comfortable to sit on.

Thanks!!..I just felt like sharing this method to anyone who thought on making a flag. It's cheap and fairly easy to do. The 3D wave really makes it come to life. Once I made this flag, I no longer plan to make the flat traditional wooden flags, that I've made in the past.

24"x40"

These usually sell for $190... Not including shipping....you can always contact me at fxexzxz@aol.com

Sorry I don't. It was a build as you go, type of project. Hopefully the pictures and description can help you out.  :)

Well I cut the stripes down to be 1 3/4" thick. Which will make your flag 22 3/4" tall overall, and I made them 40" long. So the flag is 22 3/4" x 40". As for the field/star area, it would end up being 12 1/4" high X however long you want to make it. I always based that measurement off of preference. Whatever you think it would look best for you. Then I would make a stencil for the stars, trace them on, then carve out with a dremel tool.

Thank you! I like taking on some projects that are a little unique in their own way.

I did mention that I used black chaulk paint, and a matte clear in materials used. If you had questions, I wouldn't have had a problem answering them. :/

Thanks!..Yes...prices vary depending on size, detail, etc. You can email me at fxexzxz@aol.com

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!..As of now, I haven't had much time to build any projects. I'm currently building a bigger shop. Come Spring, I'll be starting back up again. You can contact me at fxexzxz@aol.com. :)

Thanks! The overall size is 26"x42".

Thanks! Thought I would try something a little different.

Thank you!...That was the most time consuming part of the whole build. I used an exacto knife and cut my field pattern out of dark brown leather, and then I cut 50 stars out of light tan leather, then assembled it as if it were a puzzle. Once you have all your pieces for the flag cut out, it all goes together quite quickly.

You just have to watch, that while you're torching the leather to give it a more rustic look. To not heat it too much, or it will shrivel up some.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! and thank you for your service. :)

Yes, it was like a build as you go type of thing...lol

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks! :)

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Would love to see the burn process in a video!

The table was 24"wide X 40" long X 18" high. No wood stain was involved. I burnt the flag by using a torch. I then added 3 coats of a matte finish to it, to keep a rustic feel/look.

Thank you!

Thanks!... I always enjoy the torching/burning part of the project. 

You can get ahold of me at fxexzxz@aol.com

Currently not making anymore until the end of January. You can get ahold of me sometime at fxexzxz@aol.com

Thank you!  :)

Thank you!

Thanks!  ;)

The star was roughly 2' x 2' , and the stripes were about 1.75" wide.

I've been busy working these past couple of months, that I really haven't had much time to build anything. The stars sell for $95, not including shipping. I may start building more around Sept. if you're still interested then.

Thank you!

Thank you! I ended up just using 2 cans of fast drying spray finish (satin), that I picked up at Home Depot.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! :)
