Hex Shelves
Hexagon Shelves - Yes please!
Ideas :
5 to 6 shelves
LED lights?
10-12 inch sides
6 inches wide
hard wood natural (maple or walnut)
Mix up wood types? stain?
Do I want to add resin with ferns or greenery to the back? It also could light up with the led.
Do I want to make a hexagon resin ball pendent light? If so, could use a remote LED as well. Foliage in it? Colored? personalized for the family ?
What is needed:
Miter Saw
wood glue
wood*
sander
LED lights*
hanging brakets
stain/wood treatment
Tape
nailer/ compressor
process thoughts:
measure 11' for 3 sections only - use Pine first to "test"
set Miter to 30 degres
Piece the 3 together and confirm Size - decide on 5 or 6 units
Cut 6 equal sides with 30 degree angels
Lay down tape in a line longer than the sum of the 6 pieces
lay the pieces on top on the tape long side down barely touching. Make sure to start at the vary end of the tape so the overlap is only on one side
add glue to all sides that will touch
roll up the boards to form the hex and overlap the tape to hold the wood while it dries
make sure to wipe off the excess wood glue before it dries
use finishing brads to hold
add lighting - we may have some lights but would prefer battery operated with remote in a line and color changing/ Dimming
Final Thoughts :
to go behind the eat in benches. Should it be on one wall or the corner two. Also - how cute would it be to use my cricut to make the letters in our names in mini Hex shelves that connect like scrabble pieces/crossword/hunnycomb.
