  • 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.

    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

    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.

    You need to weigh your jointer down with sandbags or something, it shouldn't be moving around the floor as you're using it.

  • @LuisCasstle
    @LuisCasstle 3 роки тому

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

    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!

    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!

    Everyone always puts the boards down first and then puts the tape down on top. You get it tight that way.

    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

    • @MollyWollyWoodworking
      @MollyWollyWoodworking  4 роки тому +2

      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

      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

      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
