Wisconsin company creates American flags made out of wood, steel
Metal Art of Wisconsin founder Shane Henderson joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss how the flags are made this Fourth of July.
For one company and its employees, patriotism — along with a "Made in America" spirit and a strong sense of dedication to family — is a 24/7, 365-day-a-year endeavor.
Shane Henderson, president of Metal Art of Wisconsin, appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" recently to share some of the flag products that he and his team produce on a regular basis — and to reveal how families can personalize the items and make some with their own hands in their own homes.
The DIY projects the company offers are all focused on the American flag and "come with everything you need," said Henderson, in order to offer the family and the kids "an afternoon of fun" as they build and create, by hand, their own wooden flags for their home or school, or as gifts for others.

Henderson and team also say that while their products are "extremely popular," it's their own "hometown story" that captivates so many Americans and draws in people from near and far.

The father-son business first began as an Instagram page that went viral in 2013 — and it took off from there.
