  • It's Patterned Plywood time again! This time I'm working on a bunch of patterns based on the Hexagon. They may look complicated, but I guarantee they are easier to make than you think. Also, it's a great way to use up the scrap plywood you don't know what to do with.

    Michael I’m really digging the plywood patterns so many possibilities.

    I see so many woodworking videos where people try to hide the edge of plywood, but instead you’ve really worked with the material and shown that it can be beautiful just the way it is, that rocks!

    I've had a hexagon wood project in my mind for nearly a month now and this video of yours really amplified my ideas and gave me lots of great suggestions. Thank you very much for sharing this!!!

    @Tim_Ung 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow this is amazing! I love seeing the process of how you cut each piece of plywood down, adhered them together, and cut out the hexagons. I had a completely different idea of how it was going to be made in the beginning, but this made a lot more sense! Thanks for sharing your process. Keep up the great work 😀

    Inspiring video, I just made a batch of hexagons for a wall hanging project. I cleaned up my hexagon logs using my disc sander instead of table saw and cross-cut using a band saw, less waste as sawdust. Thanks for the idea and excellent video.

    Grand Job Michael, those patterns look fantastic and the finish looks geat with the voids filled. I'm subscribed now!
    I can think of one pattern that you didn't try though, maybe a suggestion for a different video? If you make cuts at 15 degrees or 75 degrees instead of 30/60 then you can get diagonal lines that go through eithe the short or long diagonals of the rhombus that way when you glue them up then you either get a triangle inside a hexagon or you get 3 radial lines (and parralel ones) going out from centre. Would love to see how they turn out in a pattern.

    What a rather excellent idea using scrap timber, nicely presented with great sounds too. The idea of seeing a whole floor covering with different tones of varnish is quite appealing. I saw several coin floors which when resined into position looked visually brilliant. On British building sites in the past there was so much multypli thrown away, nowadays UK builders use a lot of MDF, whose dust when cutting is quite toxic. I was told that it's banned in the US but the UK government lets the house builders use tons of the stuff.

  • @TheJLMDT
    @TheJLMDT 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This us such a cool idea! One suggestion I have is to flip some of the pieces upside down which (for some patterns) gives you the opposite direction of the flow. That opens the options up so much more than were already possible!

    I'm kind of surprised at how well this project turned out. When you consider the effects of cumulative error it's remarkable how well the individual pieces fit together without horrible gaps appearing. That's a tribute to the accuracy of pieces cut on the table saw.
    Also impressive was the intelligent use of the plywood to create the many different patterns within an individual hexagon.
    I was surprised too how it is OK to glue large groups of the hexagons without clamps [ which if used I can appreciate would have caused chaotic sliding between the hexagons ]. I noticed there was no particular problem occurring as a result of voids in the original plywood sheet which could not be dealt with using wood filler.
    Lastly I was reminded of a puzzle set I bought several decades ago [ in the 70's as I recall ]. This consisted of what were referred to as " hexominoes " . An individual hexomino is a contiguous group of 5 hexagons. Each hexomino has a different assembly pattern from all other members of the set. I can't remember how many different combinations are possible, but this can easily be worked out after some experiment. These separate shapes can now be fit together to configure larger agglomerations [ there are a huge number of possible larger patterns ], and the challenge is to find how to construct any given shape. [ As an example of one set of problems - construct a larger scale shape of one the hexomino shapes ]. If this appeals, a simple variation is to colour each hexomino differently, which makes the subsequent assemblages a bit mire striking.
