What happens here

After the hexagonal tiers and panels have fully dried, remove all clamps and tape. Place two of the hexagonal tiers on a flat surface. Apply wood glue generously to the top edges of the bottom tier. Carefully stack the second hexagonal tier on top, aligning the edges as perfectly as possible. Repeat this process for the third tier, creating a stack of three hexagons. Apply wood glue to the top edge of the assembled hexagonal stack. Take the pre-glued panel intended for the top and place it over the opening. Trace the inner and outer hexagonal shape onto the panel using a pencil to ensure a perfect fit later. Repeat for the bottom panel, placing the assembled hexagonal structure onto it and tracing. Use F-clamps to apply light pressure to the stacked tiers, allowing the glue to set without deforming the structure. Remember to be gentle, as the structure is still somewhat fragile at this stage.

Goal: Assemble the tiered hexagonal body and prepare for cutting the top and bottom panels.

What they say

Hide

without squeezing out too much glue so the next day I came down and I removed all of our clamping mechanism that would be the ratchet straps and the duct tape I ensured both top and bottom edges of every hexagon was as even as possible it doesn't have to be perfect but as even as possible go over with a sander if you need to level it out then I apply the wood glue both on the tops and the bottoms of every tear stack them together and line them up as perfectly as I could keep in mind there will be some uneven unperfect edges but that's okay this is pallet wood and then use my F clamps to kind of sandwich and stack it and clamp it together at this point I'm using very light pressure because at this point this piece is pretty fragile it's not too bad but it's also not indestructible so just be gentle well
