How to Make Honeycomb Shelves

Join me as I bring dusty old Walnut wood back to life in the form of honeycomb shelves for a client. From cutting and planning to assembling and finishing, this woodworking project was pure joy to build. Be sure to stay until the end to see my clients reaction to the honeycomb shelf!

Aww, your client's reaction was so sweet. Those shelves will be a great way to show off their mug collection!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Jaysin is an amazing human and his mug collection is unlike any other 🙏

[@charlotte31415]

@@buildingwithbobby And we didn't even get to see any pictures of it! 😭

[@barriowoodworks]

Really enjoyed taking time to show the install process. Like the idea of jig to take to wall.👌🏽

[@buildingwithbobby]

That’s great! The jig for the wall saves so much time on the install day 🙌🏻

[@SleeperHoundDesign]

Ohhh sweet honey combo shelves. Those are some fun angles. Great job Bobby.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you so much and super happy with how these came out too! 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@davidnyeste7282]

Some really amazing work. This video popped up just in time as my brother is wanting a shelf system building around his door to display his collectables

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you and must be fate. 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@BlueRhino600]

I would love to see how that hexagon jig is made! I am currently building these honeycomb shelves as well.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Building it this weekend so video coming soon!

[@dawnlambe8601]

Yes. A build video on the jig would be nice

[@buildingwithbobby]

I plan on making that very soon 🙏

[@angelatheamazon]

Nicely done. Enjoyed your editing as well as the project.

Thank you 🙏🏻 🙌🏻

Liked and subscribed nice work. Recommending the cordless vacuum I have a different battery platform but the Dewalt version works pretty well I hear. I use mine at the drywall penetration to help keep the mess down.

[@buildingwithbobby]

I love the idea of cordless so thank you for the recommendation! 🙏🏻

[@RJvidmoto]

Great work and great video. Nice job, explaining the process and producing the video…Simple, to the point!

Amazing job it turned out so great

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you 🙌🙏

[@jewdd1989]

Random but looking at your shop you need to build yourself a nice mitre saw station and film it. I have a feeling it’d be unique

[@buildingwithbobby]

Funny you say that because Ill be moving into a new shop soon and was planning on doing just that 🙏🏻

[@bazzatron9482]

Such high quality content from a small channel - definitely one to watch. Great project, my astute skills of observation can tell your client really loved it 🤣

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you and yes, he and his wife are loving it! 🙌🙏

[@nathanswoodcrafts]

That turned out awesome! I'd be interested in the jig video. Well done man 👍🏼

[@glittalogik]

I've seen very mixed opinions on trusting angle gauges for consistent miters like this, especially cutting such a crazy number of pieces. Would it make sense to build a little 60° sled and just keep the blade square? Seems like it might be a safer bet, especially for those of us with budget garage shoptools... Might also make a nice companion to the hexagon jig :)

[@buildingwithbobby]

Good suggestion. I'll see if I can come up with a sled that just cuts 60° hexagon shapes!

[@jakeedmondson5288]

Definitely would be handy to know how to make that hexagon jig. I know myself I spent countless hours making a massive honeycomb structure for mead storage and went about it a completely different way and I am always looking for alternative methods. Thanks.

[@buildingwithbobby]

That's cool. I cant say I've ever seen honeycomb shaped storage for mead before. Will defiantly put the hexagon jig on my to build list!

[@jakeedmondson5288]

@@buildingwithbobbyIt was a pretty rad project. Looking forward to the video man.

[@charleylavin]

Have a feeling he will be a repeat customer once he runs out of spots as his collection grows.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Haha possibly!

[@simonr6793]

The build turned out pretty awesome to say the very least. I'm curious to know how much weight is on the wall not including the mugs/cups that are going to be sitting on the shelves. As for a video of making the jig, why the heck not as it's alway's good to know how it's done!!!. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@buildingwithbobby]

I should of weighed it because now I'm curious lol and jig video coming soon! 🙌

[@buildingwithbobby]

I’m not quite sure, I’d say over 75lbs but less than 130lbs. Each on of the wall anchors has a shear strength of about 150lbs and a Tensile of 80lbs. That being said, 8 cleats, 2 anchors per cleat, as well as hitting two studs, I have no concerns over the weight of this piece!

Thank you and it’s definitely on my build/film list 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Welcome! 🎉

[@Edd030427]

Seems easy enough to figure out, but I absolutely would like to see the hexagon jig.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Coming soon then! 👍

[@Average-Joe]

Very Nice! Instead of the individual boxes, have you thought about building it with only 1 board edge on each box instead of 2? That would look slick too!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you and that’s an idea! 🙏🏻

[@patbird9694]

New woodworking channel for me to watch. No one is uploading much these days. I enjoyed your video. Please don’t be complacent using the table saw that’s how accidents happen.

Welcome! Oh I've learned that lesson the hard way...

Quite literally if I am physically doing an activity like using tools to make something, I always make sound effects. I always thought it was weird when people don't

Yes!

[@DudeSawdust]

Nice Build! Well done sir

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you! 🙌

[@dietmarfinster3176]

Very good work. But when cutting flat parts on the table saw, I would turn the fence to the flat side. This means you don't have to reach from above and you have more space for your hands.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Reaching over the blade is a big no no for sure. I know I do this and it has cause me problems in the past. I don’t understand fence to the flat side though? What do you mean?

[@dietmarfinster3176]

@@buildingwithbobby Release the fence Spin it ninety degrees to the left, and turn into the surface position. My English is too bad to explain better. Sorry

[@buildingwithbobby]

I understand now thank you! Yes flipping it down would make for a shorter fence that you don’t have to go over. I never thought of that, I like it thank you for the advice!

How do you get free walnut? Is there a sign up sheet up somewhere?

Not exactly lol I have a build video coming out soon where I share the story

Out of interest how much did you charge for this? (If you’re happy to say) I would estimate 1500 based on my situation

Super close estimated guess, but its close in that range for sure!
