My Journey Began With a Simple Gift for Christmas

Please Excuse the Mess, it’s My Fault.
The Flags for my Wife, Looks Like our Dog (Opus) Approves! RIP
So, I was looking for a nice present to give to my wife for Christmas a few years back and, since she’s very patriotic and has always admired these outdoor American flags hanging on our neighbors’ cabins, I figured I’d try and make her a flag that’s unique and something special. Only one problem. I’d never made anything like it before so I set out and scoured YouTube and other places to teach myself how. What I found was a whole lot of guys breaking up pallet wood, spray-painting 13 strips and stapling all this crap together and having the temerity to charge an outrageous amount of money for something that should be stamped “Made in China!” It was cheaply made, fragile and looked like something you’d buy at a flea-market!

Just because it’s designed to look “distressed” doesn’t mean it’s gotta be a piece of junk & fragile & if I’m going to put my name on each flag

(Which I Do)

it’s going to be well built and sold at a fair price!

I wasn’t going to make a gift for my wife that was so cheaply assembled especially an American flag so, I taught myself what I thought I should do and when I did finally put it all together, my family was blown away with its quality in product and durability in design.

And, Based on My Family’s Response  They Encouraged me to Make More & Sell Them to Fund Another Venture I’m Working On. So I Did!

I Thought They Were Crazy!

So, After Christmas I Decided to make a few more and put the proceeds into the business I’m starting so I figured I’d give it a shot and Made This One

And, it Sold Almost Immediately!

So, I made Another, AND IT SOLD!

And Then, Quite by Accident, I made One That Looked Like This

And This One Sold Before it Was Even Completed!

I Was Totally Blown Away!

I thought, Hmmm, Maybe I’m Missing Something Here and, as if Someone Was Listening & Wanted to prove His Point, Covid-19 Became the Newest Headline & OUR National Disaster!

With All This Time on My Hands, Maybe I Should Just Make Flags as a “Covid-Career!”

So, If I can create something people liked which I can put my name on and be proud of the craftsmanship while offering a quality product to fellow Patriots and help fund my Start-Up & create jobs at the same time……why the hell NOT?

Here’s the Original, Which is Currently 7 Years Old (2025), Hanging on the Front of Our House, and Looks just Like it Did the Day I Finished it.

That’s When the Creative Juices Started to Flow & Things Really Started to Get Crazy!

Cliff Bar – On the Mesa, Santa Barbara, CA.

Someone Asked How large I Could Make One…….LOL

Now, It’s Time to Get Really Creative!

I Love Old Glory with Her 50 Stars But, Let’s See What Kind Of Unions I Can Come Up With That I would Hang in My House!

I’ve Got a Lot to Say & This Could be a Great Way to Do Just That!

 

So, please have a look around and feel free to ask any questions on how to build one yourself using my method or, if you’re interested and have the right tools, I’ll send you step by step plans for $20.00 and you can make something you’re proud of as well!

How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck if a Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood?

Since Then I’ve Branched out and Made a Few Shadow Boxes, SOME Patio Furniture, a Coffee Table and a few Lazy Susan’s

Have a look at my “Portfolio” 

And, Then Take a Look at My “Competition” (in the menu) & You Be the Judge! Whose Product Looks Better and Looks Well Worth The Expense?
                                               

My Lifetime! LOL
