- 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!!
Chip W thanks so much, I appreciate the comment!
@@MollyWollyWoodworking Loved the biscuit idea im now sold on making these myself.
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
Thanks so much, so happy that it could help you out!
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.
yeaaaa... this is amazing, but where can I just buy this?? lol :D 1:25
Hoang Hung Cuong Amazon for sure
Super cool design. I didn't realize how much effort goes into a honeycomb shelve, a lot... Good job!
Hey I'm interested in purchasing 5 of them. How much would it be?
Watch the end of the video dude
Excellent video, brother! Thanks man!
You need to weigh your jointer down with sandbags or something, it shouldn't be moving around the floor as you're using it.
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 was curious on how your plate jointer was set-up?
Quantos graus você inclinou o disco da serra?
NICE JOB. HOW MUCH EACH ONE COST ?
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!
Great video! Love your furry helper.
Awesome job with these! How much do you charge for each one?
Depending on the wood species, $50-$85
Beautiful
Looks great...... Jahman 👊😎
may I know what is the perfect angle f assembling a hexagon or honeycomb. Thanks
Try 30 degrees
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! 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
Thanks a lot!! Haha hard to argue your chant when they have a Canadian leading the team ;)
@@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
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.
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.
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
what sizes are the pieces!?
Cédric Nitunga they are 18” in diameter and 5.5” deep
Beautiful
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
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
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 kind of finish did you use?
Just a simple minwax wipe on poly
Love this video, you did an awesome job!
Thanks Andrew, appreciate it!
The splines look so great! Brilliant idea!
Melanie Skeen thanks Melanie!!
Beautiful work.
Thanks Emily!
Good work!! Looks good!
Thanks so much!
Why not just use brad nails? Seems easier..
