... yup i'm making a Settlers of Catan board using this. This is perfect.
Love the magnets and puzzle effect! I think there was no need to draw all the hexagons. You could have drawn the first one, cut two opposite sides like you did and then put a stop block on the miter sled fence go get perfectly equal sized cuts on all sides and pieces. Anyway, we could always make things differently, couldn't we? :) Great great stuff and thanks for making me think about things!!
The outtakes were golden. The main part of the video was fantastic, but the outtakes were a nice addition.
Boom boom! Out go the lights!
Slick project, Bob. I'll bet lots of folks wondered how to lay out a hexagon and didn't even know it yet.
Those are some attractive coasters ;)

Toolify Nice pun! XD
All I could think was Settlers of Catan! That and a miter saw. :) Great project - definitely going to do this (the Catan board) for a good friend of mine who is moving. Thanks!
I was reading the comments to see who else thought of this.
+n8guy Absolutely! maybe even use some sawdust to create the basic terrain on each block, mixed with some wood glue, then paint and add flock for plant growth.
+n8guy Magnetic Catan pieces... Genius!
+n8guy Totally thought the same thing! Next woodworking project for sure!
I love Catan! I'm really bad at it, but I love it!
Very clever Bob! A trivet that turns into coasters and also a puzzle toy for the toddlers. I knew there was a reason for buying all those magnets I just didn't know what it was. Thanks for sharing.
Those are really cool. I like how the overall shape can morph as you use them.
Neat idea! I loved the rustic appearance. Its so cool when "barnwood" gets a new life, and it makes for a great conversation piece! Rock on Bob!
The fact that it doubles up as a coaster AND a trivet makes this super cool. Really good idea
Brilliant, I especially love that you could put a hot pot on them as well, like you said. No issue leaving this on your table all day/every day. Even if they get scarred with little burn spots it would just add character and make them even cooler. Well done Bob!
Made this same project at home after watching. My solution to the problems you had..
1) Stacked, glued, and clamped the initial 5 in. sqaures
2) Marked the hexagon on top, cut with band saw. This ensured EXACTLY the same shape.
3) Flipped the stack on its side, made a stop block on the side of my band saw at ~0.5 in. This ensured exact thickness.
I love how you give everyone more ideas on how they can make the thing you just made differently. This was a very simple project, but has big possibilities. Thanks!
i really like how you use tools that everybody can commonly have not like a cnc and stuff like that , great video i love watching them every Thursday !
I loved the outtakes and the coasters
Bob, this was a great project. It is so cool. Very impressive. I don't think people realize there is a little trick to getting hexagons to match each other. Keep up the awesome videos, and projects.
I subscribed to your channel the other day after stumbling upon all these great videos! I don't build any of these things, of course, but I enjoy seeing them being built! Thanks for the entertainment, Bob. I look forward to more videos in the future!
Great job Bob. Simple yet versatile. I didn't know that Harbor Freight sold rare earth magnets, I thought those were more expensive, thanks for throwing that in. And the outtakes were awesome.
These came out really nice, Bob. Might have a go at these this weekend. And the bloopers cracked me up!
Even though I'm not a builder, I find your videos thoroughly enjoyable. Great video as always, Bob :)
love the way the intro works, very well put together
Man you just gave me an awesome idea for something I'm making!!! Thank you!!!
Those came out great Bob!
+Andrea Arzensek Thank you!!
+Campalai gayyyyy
One man can tell to another that he's looking good without being gay.
I know sir.. but this is youtube
Great idea Bob! They turned out really nice!
Sticking around to the end pays off. Nice project.
I used this technique on my catan tiles , it works great, only time i wished for a cnc for labeling them, nice job Bob
I’ve never seen them be done that way! That is so cool, Bob! I’m a math major and have found that when using the radius of a circle as the leg length in a hexagon, you get a value equal to 2pi•r, rather than 6r.
love the project and bloopers. I would like to recess a circular notching either side for a glass to sit inside. good job!
Ingenious, Bob! Amazing what can be built with some scrap lumber.
Some good ideas & techniques in this one Bob. Fun project (and fun outtakes). Thanks for the video.
If you drill a bit deeper and use a magnet that is smaller than the hole so that it can flip freely within the hole, and use a thin plug to plug the hole, then you don't need to worry about the polarity of the magnets as they'll flip to the right orientation when coming within the field of another magnet. It's something I've done with some 2"x2" Dwarven Forge game tiles. With this technique you will get rattling since the magnets are free to move around. As well, you do need to get the N52 neodymium (rare earth) magnets - the strongest rated ones - since distance does affect the strength (ie. the thickness of two plugs of wood).
Great idea - love the built-in character!
This is a really cool project. I can see these as a nice Christmas gift. It was nice to chat with you at the Rochester Mini Maker fair, thanks for taking the time out and making the long trip.
These are really neat, Bob. Now you've got me itching to go make my own.
great project! simple but very functional. i like the idea that you can join them to create a big "coaster" for pots and pans 👍💪✌
as soon as you went over to the bandsaw with the micro jigs I heard they're catch phrase,,, I have been watching too much woodworking for mere mortals
Great X-Mas X-Carve idea! I love that these can combine to form a trivet or be separated into coasters.
Also, I really dig the outtakes at the end. I know some people think it's cliché but I think it makes you more human.
Amazing mothers day gift and an amazing creation overall, love it
Great video shots! Very nice depth of view / focus effects. And a nice and useful product too. Thank you.
The bloopers won me over! You should have them at the end of every video! ;)
That is a great idea Bob, you have given me an idea so you have certainly done your job well! Thank you the idea!
Really fun project! I really like that you didn't use the CNC. I feel like that's all I see on RUclips these days. I like that you could use it as a trivet too.
Really nice coasters, Bob!
Great project for generating creative thinking! Loved the bloopers as well!
Love the channel and the ideas. I appreciate you just using basic tools in this video.
If I may, can I suggest you do a separate category of videos without the use of the CNC, 3D printer, and other specialty tools that most of us cant afford?
Making things with basic tools is inspiring
Yup definitely making Catan tiles. Thanks for this one Bob
Nice video, I like the addition of the bloopers at the end.
Cool project! Those would make some nice gifts
I love this project.
Simple, smart and useful. Great Job !
That is so AWESOME!!! I love the idea of putting magnets on the sides. Everyone is doing diy tile coasters but this is so much better!!! Keep on making stuff, you're the best! 👍
awesome idea Bob! I love your work and the Making it Pod cast is one of my "go to" listing pleasures..
the blooper outtakes at the end is a nice touch.
Great video. The opening was fantastic. I watched it 4 times before going on with the rest of the video. Nice work.
-Todd
I was thinking of making a coasters from another builder but this is way cooler! Great job!
Right after the intro I thought "Ha, I'd like to see the outakes for that!"
And sure enough, there they were :-)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Looks like a good substrate for settlers of catan. I wish our game board was as cohesive.
Awesome project and I thnk I might have to make these, but I think I'll start with something long that is 5x5, angle the tablesaw blade to rip the piece into a single long hexagon, cross cut off the individual coasters, then fine tune the shape as needed.
I love whatching tutorials that I'm never going to do
I love WATCHING them too. Isn’t WATCHING Them fun?
Such a cool idea I like the though of hiding the magnets with vanier that way it's like a "wow" factor. I just need all the tools. Literally don't have anything
"I called you over for coffee but really, it's for Catan!"
Awesome idea, Bob!
Cool idea! Well executed too.
Cool project! Nice work, Bob!
Fun project Bob!
Very cool Bob! Thanks for sharing this!!
Great weekend project Bob, I like how you added bloppers it just goes to show we're all human :)
Very smart coasters! I reckon that rough cutting a big batch of hexagons, and then finishing them all up against a master template with a flush trim bit in a router would go well. Keep up the good work. W
Cool idea. They would make a great gift.
Bob! This is fantastic!
These are great. Love the idea and the use of geometry!
Great project, very creative!
Please make more videos like this. The C&C machine is really cool but I and I'm sure a lot of your other subscribers never plan on owning one. The coasters look like there fun to make. I'm sure I'll be driving my wife crazy playing with them on the coffee table. 😂
When you connect them all to form one big coaster, it works for hot pots or bigger kitchen items.
Keep up the good work Bob.
Fun project! I wonder if custom made stop-block(s), that were shaped to accept workpiece as the sides of the hexagon were cut down, would help improve the precision. If this is possible, it wouldn't require each cut to follow a manually drawn line.
Either way, the project turned out great!
I like it! What about making a video on a few Christmas present ideas for woodworkers to make for family and friends? It's perfect for this time of year!
Great job on the hexagon coasters Bob! Love the out takes :)
Cool idea, Bob.
I sense an upcoming viewer using this process to make Coasters of Catan!
Hi Bob - I've just stumbled upon your channel. The stuff you're making is great - very inspiring. Makes me want to run down to the shop and start planning my next project. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ryan!! That's exactly what I want to hear! Now, get to the shop!!
so. this technique could be used for settlers of catan tiles.
Yes! Was just thinking the same!
+Esat Boucaud (Blazinfyah) Once I get my laser engraver.. then I could add the map details to the tiles ;)
+PKKShadow I was thinking the same thing as well.
+I Like To Make Stuff couldn't you use the CNC to put on the map details. why would you need the laser engraver?
ze'ev Katz Yeah, I could, but the laser would have smaller precision and gives a slight burning effect which would darken the engraved area slightly. Either would work though.
Hey bob, was there a reason you didn't make one and then trace it onto the other ones? Would have saved a lot of tedious drawing time.
Maybe because that method usually ends up being less precise
One of the best yet Bob! I love it. Keep them coming!
Have you ever played The Settlers of Catan? You could make awesome game pieces using this idea!
Wow these are fantastic!! Have you thought about making a customizable game board out of these (similar to Settlers of Catan)? Maybe instead of a magnet at every position, alternate a piece of steel so that magnet polarity wouldn't be an issue..? This is so cool, thanks for sharing!
Very cool. Going to bookmark this one for another time
Really like these! Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. You just gave me a great idea for homemade wedding favors! I'll be sure to get you pictures when I make them!
Very cool concept ! Great job buddy!
Be aware that Neodynium magnets have coating which protects them from rust. Neodynium magnets become very brittle and powdery once they oxidize, so I would be very careful with any sanding so as to protect that coating.
That intro was toally badass :D Now I definitely want to make these coasters!
And I am a big fan of both hidden magnets and outtakes ;)
The patterns and hexagons would look great for table tops
Hey Bob, I sent this video to my buddy and he made some for me using your method, But my buddy used a CNC so they came out a little better. Thanks though I love the videos keep up the good work!
great vid Bob...big thumbs up!!
I love the outtakes.
Love the Bloopers, hahaha. Once again two thumbs up, Awesome video!
Neat idea Bob! Will have to go get some magnets from HF...and a free LED flashlight or scissors. :)
+Steve Carmichael lol. Don't forget your 20% off coupon. :D
I always keep those coupons in my car. lol
+Steve Carmichael I never get the black 9 led flashlight, but the blue one with dual mode flashlight and the clip is actually really good lol
+RetroWeld LOL. I think I have a stack of those things if anyone needs some. ;-)
***** nah these flashlights are terrible that harbor freight makes lol
Love the interlocking feature! Think I would put together a template on the computer, then printed and stuck it on rather than marking them out but then I'm lazy! 😉
Fun project. I need some coasters so might make some of these. Laughed at the out takes. :)
Nice project, well done
