- This was a fun project I did for a family member who was getting married. The hexagonal shape brings a simple and elegant beauty to any venue! I broke down the math in this video hopefully to help any of you who are wanting to make one at different sizes. Good luck on your projects. You will enjoy this one!
Also, just in case you are looking for a good book series I thought I'd recommend my favorite! The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson is an incredible fantasy series spanning 15 books. It's a hum dinger of a read, but it was so much fun to discover! I feel like this book makes you have to go and tell other people about it, so, here's an innocent little link to the first three books of the series in case you want to read them!

Any suggestions on how to make feet of this arch so that people can walk through it?
You could probably just make the back web the same as the front web. If it gets too wiggly you could run some 1/8” thick flat metal bar along the bottom to connect across.
Did you consider putting the metal plates on the back so they aren't seen or was that for the design you wanted. What about pocket screws as well to have seamless joints.
Did you have a jig for cutting all the boards the same length and angle? I am starting a project like this so any insight is welcome.
My original plan was to only have the plates on the back but the ones I got were too weak by themselves, so I had to put plates on the front as well. Pocket screws could work as well.
I didn't use a jig for this one. I probably had them all cut in the time it would have taken me to figure out a jig! You can though. There's some simple ones (even just tracing the opposite end of the first one you cut right after it's cut on your miter wings).
What is the measurment for the bottom board
It was about 2’6” if I remember right
