DIY Hexagon (or Honeycomb) Shelves

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I'll show you how I made these 5 hexagon shelves. They are made from Ash with Walnut splines. I really like the idea of having shelving that can be configured in many different ways, this project is perfect for someone who wants to rearrange furniture often ;)
Huge shout out to Jesse from Penalty Box Woodshop, he watched my first video, was super supportive and offered some good insights. Definitely go check out his channel: / @penaltyboxwoodshop
Thanks everyone for watching and please give me a follow on instagram @Mollywollywoodworking to take a look at some of my other projects.

    2:30 End grain gluing hack -- spread a thin layer of glue on all the end grain surfaces and let it dry completely, then proceed with the glue-up. The first application of glue seals the end grains and the second sticks everything together. That said I really like the look of the spline joints 👍

    I was just going to share this same tip! Definitely makes for a much stronger end-end glue joint.

    Andrew-I just finished watching 7 other videos on building a hexagon shelf. Your process was similar to the others; however, your use of using a biscuit joiner to strengthen the joint was unique and an "out of the box" thinking. Great job!!

    Thanks for the video. They turned out great. Be careful with the freehand table saw work. A sled or even using a board as a runner below the splines and between the work and the fence would stabilize the project helping to ensure that you can keep woodworking!

    Hi there, first thank u i loved Ur work, I’ve been trying and trying and I don’t get the perfect joint, why my angles are not perfect? Even though i find the way to put them together with gaps in the angles, then when i try to put them together on the wall the unions with each other are wrong, thanks again

    Gerardo Schtremel if you’re using a table saw I would highly recommend getting a digital angle finder on amazon. If you’re using a mitre saw, use a stop block to ensure your pieces are all the exact same length. If one is slightly longer it throws the rest of the joints off

    If you used a miter gauge or a sled you could've cut the splines even closer. Less sanding.
