Method:

  1. Fasten your 2440mm planks together using your 1220mm piece using the 32mm screws.
  2. Draw your hexagon outline using a protractor. There should be 6 corners and the angle inbetween each corner needs to be 120 degrees. Each side should measure about 660mm.
  3. Once you are happy with the shape use your saw to cut the planks.
  4. Assemble your pipes to form the table legs using the iron fittings.
  5. Ensure the table top is upside down. For the lip, cut 6, 660mm pieces from the 1220mm pieces.
  6. Secure these pieces along the edge of the table with 32mm screws.
  7. Sand the entire table top to ensure it is smooth.
  8. If you wish to stain do so now. Painting about 3 coats – allowing to dry I between and then painting a gloss over to finish it off.
  9. Once dry you can screw the legs in to the table.
  10. If you want at this point you can screw the wheels are casters onto the table.
