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 👍
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!!
Man I was struggling to figure out how to clamp a hexagon then I come across your video! The tape + strap is exactly what i needed to see, thanks! Great video btw, you deserve a lot more subs then what you have
Biscuit joiner was a great idea...but my ocd is kicking in with a square spline in a rounded cut out lol. But for this application it totally works! Look great dude! GO PENS! 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
@@MollyWollyWoodworking haha I have nothing but love for Canada! I have relatives there and I’m told I’m “of Canadian decent”. Fleury is one of my faves and he’s from Quebec :) Barrasso will always be my #1 Btw, I’m from NY lol
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
Victor Serrano each piece was 6.25” if I remember correctly. This was a while ago. There are calculators on google you can use that you input the dimension you want and it tells you the length to make each piece
MollyWollyWoodworking Cool. I’ve been trying to find a video that shows that part of the process. I found one video where the maker used hanger bolts. So I’m going to try that method since i dont have a router table, only a palm router. Greetings from BC btw!

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

Chip W thanks so much, I appreciate the comment!
@@MollyWollyWoodworking Loved the biscuit idea im now sold on making these myself.
Super cool design. I didn't realize how much effort goes into a honeycomb shelve, a lot... Good job!
Great video! Love your furry helper.

Thanks so much, so happy that it could help you out!
The splines look so great! Brilliant idea!
Melanie Skeen thanks Melanie!!
Beautiful work.
Thanks Emily!
Excellent video, brother! Thanks man!

Thanks a lot!! Haha hard to argue your chant when they have a Canadian leading the team ;)

I was curious on how your plate jointer was set-up?
Good work!! Looks good!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful
Love this video, you did an awesome job!
Thanks Andrew, appreciate it!
NICE JOB. HOW MUCH EACH ONE COST ?
Quantos graus você inclinou o disco da serra?
If you used a miter gauge or a sled you could've cut the splines even closer. Less sanding.
What did you use for the finish?
Chaim Salamon a simple minwax tung oil
I love this video. Can you tell me what machine did you use to make the lines at 2:35? Thank you
Thanks so much! That machine is called a biscuit joiner.
How long was each piece
yeaaaa... this is amazing, but where can I just buy this?? lol :D 1:25
Hoang Hung Cuong Amazon for sure

Awesome job with these! How much do you charge for each one?
Depending on the wood species, $50-$85
Hey I'm interested in purchasing 5 of them. How much would it be?
Watch the end of the video dude
What is the length of each pieces to make that hexagon? Thanks!
Victor Serrano each piece was 6.25” if I remember correctly. This was a while ago. There are calculators on google you can use that you input the dimension you want and it tells you the length to make each piece
may I know what is the perfect angle f assembling a hexagon or honeycomb. Thanks
Try 30 degrees
What kind of finish did you use?
Just a simple minwax wipe on poly
Everyone always puts the boards down first and then puts the tape down on top. You get it tight that way.
Not everyone ;)
@@MollyWollyWoodworking ok 99.9999% then.
How did you attach them to the wall?
Hey Ryan, there are keyhole slots routed in the back.
MollyWollyWoodworking Cool. I’ve been trying to find a video that shows that part of the process. I found one video where the maker used hanger bolts. So I’m going to try that method since i dont have a router table, only a palm router. Greetings from BC btw!
what sizes are the pieces!?
Cédric Nitunga they are 18” in diameter and 5.5” deep
I've never heard anyone say 4x 1/4" as a way of saying 1 inch. Is this a thing?
Hey Jared, yeah when you’re dealing with rough lumber suppliers will use fractional dimensions. So 4/4 for 1”, 6/4 for 1.5” etc
@@MollyWollyWoodworkingOh thanks! I had no idea! thank you for taking the time to answer me. +1 subscriber
You need to weigh your jointer down with sandbags or something, it shouldn't be moving around the floor as you're using it.
Why not just use brad nails? Seems easier..
Beautiful
