How to build a custom case for a family heirloom
In short: Carpenter Nathan Gilbert demonstrates how to construct a protective display case for a meaningful American flag. This step-by-step guide shows how to transform simple materials into a dignified way to preserve a piece of military history.
The video follows Nathan Gilbert as he builds a display case to house a U.S. flag, a keepsake presented to him at his grandfather's funeral. The flag had previously been draped over his grandfather's casket.
To create the case, Gilbert uses 1x6-inch red oak boards and sheet glass, materials available at most home centers. The project serves as a finishing touch for a home office renovation completed during quarantine.
