One suggestion- glue up the hexagons before painting. White (or carpenters) glue works better on raw wood than a painted surface. The glue penetrates the wood fibers for a stronger joint.
Ah thanks for the tip. The only issue is that I wouldn't want to get any paint on the foam inserts after then are attached to the hexagons. I could just tape over the cut surface when painting or staining.
Yeah they were just styrofoam plates. I looked at different plastics first. But I saw videos of others using styrofoam plates and they looked the best and were the cheapest. Thanks!! 😎
Hey great job. just one question. wouldn't making the groove before you cut the pieces be easier? or maybe it would not work for some reason? Again great job.
Yeah I found it easier to cut the groove after. Thats because when you are cutting the angles on each piece you have to flip the would to cut the next angle. This would be messed up if the groove were on one side.
Amazing Work! I have just one question. Which groove cutter size for the router (where the LEDs go through) did you take. I build it based on your tutorial for my school project.
Great job I am working on the idea in my mind right now I think I am going to use the Govee RGBIC and possibly put a back on it with a reflective something ??? I am going to use a router for the groove. Been debating on 4 or 3.5 inch sides ?
I just drilled a hole through the wall and ran the wire through the ceiling. The adapter is behind one of the lights. I have an outlet in the drop ceiling so I just plugged it into that.
