Building the Stand
Turns out the internal angles of a Hexagon are 120 degrees. This leads to a 60 degree cut for each piece.
Both my table saw and miter box can cut at a 30 degree angle. Basically keep in mind that every cut at 30 degrees leaves a 60 degree cut on one of the pieces.
After a ton of planning my brother and I started cutting.
I used 2x8's that I had in stock.
- First cut two 8' board into 3 pieces - 6 @ 32" for the legs
- Then ripped them down the middle - 12 @ 32"
- Set the table saw at 30 degrees, ripped each leg, kept the 60 degree side
