That wouldn't be any fun buying it already made.  :)  Of course you will need the tools to get-r-done.   8)

found this:

My Wifes friend (more like a sister) has her fathers veteran flag in a case but doesn't like the way it looks or likes the materials it was built with.
She wants me to build her another one with using better wood.
May pattern it off the one she has, just use the wood of her choice.

Here's another option:

It's from Woodworking for Mere Mortals with Steve Ramsey.  There's a video link with the article.
