Thank you for this video. I am a 72 year old lady and I just started making wood projects . I made the Hexagon shelves but I have to admit they didn’t turn out the greatest. Now after watching you I see where I made my mistakes. My husband passed a year ago and he had a shop filled with every kind of tool you might want. I feel close to my husband when I’m in his shop so now I can use his tools to make really enjoy working with wood. I think he probably would get a kick out of me and the mistakes I make😊😊. Thank you again and my God bless you.
My dad left a toolbox for car repairs and every time I use it to do something on the car, every tool I need is in there. It makes me feel close to him and like he's still watching out for me. Your story reminded me of that. Many best wishes to you 😊
Tip 1 : use a piece of plywood under and in front of the board you are cutting. That prevents ripouts. 2: Always pull the saw backwards just in the surface of the material.- The 1-2 millimeter rip on top leaves zero ripouts when finally cutting.-this takes some practice but you get a much better result.3: Always use fiberglass tape. This has zero stretch and thightens the joint much better. 4: Use masking tape across the bord at the line of the cut on the inside.- This prevents glue from blending out on the surface. If you «wipe it off» it will still seal the surface and ruin your staining. Glue has one job,-to stay in the joint. 5: Sand the whole board on both sides BEFORE cutting it. This saves you a lot of time in the end. 6: Dial in your angle 100% at 30 degrees. -This, combined with the tips above leaves you with no need for wood filler. Your welcome👍🏻
Thank you so much for the insightful tips, just one question I don't have a mitre saw I only have a jigsaw that can cut at 30 degrees, the cuts seem clean, will the Hex shelves come out ok without need for wood filler, or should I just not try without a Mitre saw...
Very nicely demonstrated compared to many other video presentations I have seen. Congratulations. Keep up with the new ideas and the video presentation.
wow you're using your own strategy that is making it very very very simple to make because by watching this without any knowledge you will take many days to figure it out thank you for showing us how is done we appreciate your strategy and knowledge
The only thing I do differently on my tape mitres, I use reinforced packing tape. After about thirty minutes I knurl the mitres gently to get the wood fibres meshed with the glue. Hat tip to Spencer Lewis. Insider Carpentry. The GOAT of trim carpentry.
R u a magician sir???💯💯💯💯 You just blew my mind 💯💯💯💯💯 I was getting irritated by failing to join it.... And u made it really easyyyy 💯💯 thank you for your help
Thanks for sharing your techniques to me.i am also a wood worker from Sri Lanka . congratulations for anything good that you wish to have in life☺️☺️☺️
Wawoo super. Very easy way of teaching how to make it. I love your way of teaching sir. First time watching your vedio. I became a big fan of you. Much love, much respect sir. God bless you
If you want to finish it with something other than paint do not wipe the glue off then it is wet or the glue will get inside the grain and you won't be able to get it out. Use a chisel when it it dry or the finish will apply differently to the wood and glue.
Hello BuildersSA. Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I just have a practical question for decorational purposes... Since the making of the hexagon floating shelves does not involve any kinds of screws, how much weigh can the shelf carry on the bottom, with the use of "just" wood glue? Let's say you put more than just one vase on the shelf? Hope to hear from you, thanks! :-)
That's a lot of trust in a mitre saw's (especially if you have a slider) angle and the blade sharpness. At the minimum make a sacrificial backer for your cuts and really test on scraps to make sure you are getting the intended angles. This method will only get you homeowner-quality decorations. You'd really want to use a table saw sled and reinforce with splines to get a better quality item. Before you write that off, yes, you can tell the difference. Yes, most will also see quality differences upon any sort of inspection.
In America it's called a stop block. A Stopper is what prevents liquids from coming out of a bottle. Sorry, I'm always fascinated by the differences in European and American English.

The tape was a brilliant idea!
out of all the videos I watched no one has mentioned a stopper! that's a complete game changer for me! thanks!
Omg, you've been measuring every single piece before?!?
Yes! My two tester shelves came out all wonky because of my measuring! But the rest when I used the stopper came out 1000x better!
Excellent Tutorial! Straight to the point. That tape trick is pretty awesome.

Those cuts were way faster then I expected. Professional
Method for calculating shear angles for square, pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal shapes We divide 360 by double the sides
Thanks so much for this... Easy way to calculate the angles to be cut for different shapes...
Really nice project and good explanation! Thanks
This is just perfect step-by-step demo. Sweet and simple!
Thank you for clearly and concisely showing how to do this on this saw with measurements!
this is a great tutorial! thank you!
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to make some this weekend
Absolutely great and easy to implement idea. Thank you!
Original and very beautiful work! Good luck to the master!
that was awesome. great stuff!

Excelente trabalho! Parabéns 👏👏.
wow you're using your own strategy that is making it very very very simple to make because by watching this without any knowledge you will take many days to figure it out thank you for showing us how is done we appreciate your strategy and knowledge
2 hacks I never thought to do. The stopper, ad the tape method of gluing it into shape
Very very nice. THANKS
Excellent presentation,great job thanks,subscribed 👍👍👍
Very well done ! Simple & easy instructions that you hardly find nowadays .
Love this, you are so talented. Making this too xoxo Sandy DIY
That’s great 👏🏼😉🇧🇷

This is perfect for holding my hexagons!
Beautiful 👏👏👏
Thank you for this
Super 🤘👌💕 good technique
Love from Hindustan
💕💕💕💕🙏💐
cool video - cheers mate
VERY good job sir
I've seen these and love them. This is great. How do you put them on the wall 😢😢😢
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are awesome.. 👍👍👍
Awesome video
Thanks for sharing your techniques to me.i am also a wood worker from Sri Lanka . congratulations for anything good that you wish to have in life☺️☺️☺️
Спасибо за идею!!!
Nice from holland👍
Wawoo super. Very easy way of teaching how to make it. I love your way of teaching sir. First time watching your vedio. I became a big fan of you. Much love, much respect sir. God bless you
And using a respirator when painting
But you got show how its mounted on the wall, it was a such nice working
thank you so much
Do you have issues with staining or painting over the wood filler?? Nice work!
I would also recommend using ear protection when working with the belt sander and mitre saw. Eye protection always very important too.
SUPER IDEA
amazing
Nice video, is there a reason why you wouldnt sand the plank at the start then just touch up the sanding along the edges?
You are the best man...
Was there a wedding?
If you want to finish it with something other than paint do not wipe the glue off then it is wet or the glue will get inside the grain and you won't be able to get it out. Use a chisel when it it dry or the finish will apply differently to the wood and glue.
Perfect
Lindo o trabalho Deus abençoe 🙏🙌👍
Amazing job how cost each one ??
At the oblique cut point on both sides of the cheese, we measure and cut sharply to get the oblique angle.
thanks 👍
Everybody shows how to do it but forget to go up to the last step - showing what they use to mount it in the wall...that'd be nice...
Picture frame hangers work,
I'm using some 3 inch floating shelf brackets from amazon. But my hexagons are attached to each other so I have a nice thick piece to drill into.
Those 3m double sided frame strips work good
That's another video
Nice work thanks. Why didn’t you use a primer before chalk paint.
Thanks 🙏🏾
Keep it up sir
Good day sir😀 how to hang this give my idea thank you sir
just wow
That chalk spray you using, can you send link/Brand please.

Muito bom.
well done
Thanks
Hello BuildersSA.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing.
I just have a practical question for decorational purposes...
Since the making of the hexagon floating shelves does not involve any kinds of screws,
how much weigh can the shelf carry on the bottom, with the use of "just" wood glue?
Let's say you put more than just one vase on the shelf?
Hope to hear from you, thanks! :-)
Do you seal the wood aswell or is it already treated?
How did you mount them on the wall
That's a lot of trust in a mitre saw's (especially if you have a slider) angle and the blade sharpness. At the minimum make a sacrificial backer for your cuts and really test on scraps to make sure you are getting the intended angles. This method will only get you homeowner-quality decorations.

Gracias x el video muy bueno. Cómo los colegas?
does builders sell the spray can trigger?
Keren banget cara mu kawan aku suka kali sukses terus canelmu mu kawan.
Genius ideia.
*idea
Genius.
How much if you sell those display
What do you use to hang them/ how
Exactly. Sad he missed that crucial bit
First line up on the wall with level. And then nail on it and hang it.
very good
How did you get the 30 degree angle?
I NEED this in my room! Literally so cute!!! 4:32
I just cannot find hexagon shaped items to display on them
Can you show how to make a vertical plant frame
Thanks v nice
Nice but how do I attach them to the wall neatly?
How ???
try searching online or at local hardware store for "Floating shelf brackets"
You could use figure 8 connectors.
Wow! Thank you. Wondering what type of wood you are using and the width and thickness?
Yellow pine 1x4s
@@horacegandy thank you!
