What happens here

To form the hexagonal structure, you will need to cut 18 identical pieces of the milled pallet wood. Each piece should be marked at 6 inches in length. Using a miter saw, set the blade to a 30-degree bevel. Make two opposing 30-degree cuts on each end of the 6-inch marked pieces. These two 30-degree cuts will combine to form a 60-degree angle, which is necessary for joining the hexagonal sides. After cutting the first piece, use it as a template to mark and cut the remaining pieces, ensuring consistency in length and angle for all 18 segments. The precision in these cuts is vital for a tight and strong hexagonal glue-up.

Goal: Cut 18 identical wood pieces with 30-degree beveled ends to form hexagons.

accordingly so the big idea here is to create three individual hexagons and to do so we're gonna take our palo would mark it at six inches and create two both ended 30 degree cut - 30 degree cuts equals a 60-degree angle which is typical for your hexagon once you've gotten the first one down you can then use it as your measuring marker to kind of speed up your process to make sure all your pieces are consistent the same length now when we
