Hey, pennant guys

Awesome framing job, Rob! Now that's thinking creatively. How did you cut/tailor the frame and glass to adhere to the "fishtail" shape of the pennant?

You must have some amazing tools!

Thanks, Mark. I started with a very cheap frame - thin plexiglass and plastic edging. So, it just takes a “scoring knife” to cut the plexi. You just score it until it feels like you can snap it. For the fishtail, I had to cut all the way through. For the edging, I just use a utility knife and a little trial and error on the angles. I like that these frames really compress the pennant and those deteriorating tassels can’t move.

Rob, I think you need to start a YouTube channel that teaches us how to replicate such fine craftsmanship.

Looks great, love the cut-out windows on the reverse.

How about I do a guest spot on your Pennant Factory channel?

I do enjoy figuring out low-end display options. I had had a few cocktails Saturday night and it was all I could do to keep myself from starting this project. I’m glad I waited until Sunday. It wasn’t exactly rocket science but it did require a little bit of thought.

Mark could probably find a couple of those under his couch cushions.

I was thinking the same.

Very funny, although I would argue that you're equally likely to find one under Greg's Pool Table, or somewhere in Appleton, WI.
