Our boards were pretty smooth to begin with and I wanted a rustic look, so I didn’t spend much time on this step. With the guide in stop, you can quickly slide the board you are cutting up again the guide to get consistent cuts without measuring. Since all of your pieces need to be the exact same length, clamp a board to your miter saw to act as a stop. Whatever size you choose, the key is to cut them to a consistent size at a 30-degree angle. Don’t get thrown off by all the numbers, all you need to look at is the long diagonal (this will be the width of your hexagon from the inside corners) and the sides, which is how long to cut your individual pieces. All you need to do is put in either the length of your sides or the long diagonal and it will auto-calculate what you need. If you want a custom size, check out this hexagon calculator. You can also adjust the length of your pieces if you would like your shelves to be wider across. The wood you use on your project will determine how deep your shelves are. We used a 1×4 for the bulk of the shelves and then made an additional hexagon using a 1×6. We cut each piece to be 5.5″ on the long side, making the total width of our finished hexagons 11″ from inside corner to inside corner.Įach board should be cut at a 30-degree angle on each end so that all of the pieces will fit together.
