Did you make your pole? I did this in about 10 minutes , from memory.
Had to put some weight in the tail piece to balance it.

Yeah, mine's made. I put a threaded joint at the top of the vertical piece,
and add about a foot horizontally at the base of the section holding the
flag (using another 45 degree piece). Eventually we'll put a name sign on
it. It works very well!
