The ONLY Hexagon HOW-TO You'll Ever Need / How to Draw a Hexagon With or Without a Compass

just the video i needed!

I think I’m going to have to use my cricut to create a hexagon 😂

<¥£§@% My brain

Great video, and a remider that anything we learn may be useful one day

Super cool!!

I could swear I have never seen the last rule method... I probably won't "need" it, but that is smooth!
Thanks for sharing information and educating people! Unlike a lot of tubers that "show" but don't really SHOW.

How would you construct a pentagon?

Some of the best kind of math for the real world. Thanks.

Great video~! Thanks for the geometry refresher. I remember doing this in high school, but I won't get into how long it's been since I was there. ;-) Thanks again~!

We learned about using a compass to make a hexagon in the 8th grade, but after a lot of years, a reminder is sure helpful! I don't remember learning the alternate methods you show. Often times, videos explain tings better that the boring textbooks did.

Wow! My mind is blown!

@Inspire Woodcraft I sent you an email about a collaboration this weekend, any thoughts?

Handy to know, thanks.

I'm not going to lie... THAT IS BRILLIANT! I never thought about that

cool, thanks

Keep putting out these geometry lessons, brother. I know most of us didn’t listen in school and always thought “what are we ever gonna use geometry for?”. Well I’m thankful for these now. Thanks and keep ‘em coming.

Loving your simple explainations of geometric relationships!

Love your channel. Always great info. Could you share a method to cut perfect hexagons for the use in game pieces which have to seat against each other at any angle?

I found it hard to see the drawing. It would be much more clear if you'd use a darker pencil and white paper.

Excellent. My math/geometry skills and comprehension are limited. This is very timely for me since I want to make something that includes hexagons. Thant you. Keep up the good work. T 🙂

Having worked with hexagrams before, I finally figured out that they are all composed of equilateral triangles. That means all the triangle sides are equal in length. It is not coincidental that the line across the center, from point to point, is twice the length of a side. It is composed of two sides, so it must be twice the length. It took me an embarrassing length of time to finally realize the geometry of hexagrams.

I’m an old man now, but I remember my geometry. I wonder if it’s even taught anymore. There is a lot of useless stuff passing as “school worthy” I hear.

Great content, thanks for sharing 👍

Not bad. You should be the next president of the United States. ;-)

As usual. Tough concepts made simple by your clear and direct explanations.

He got through the whole video without saying, "Hexagons are the bestagons."

11th grade (1972) mechanical drafting class revisited. You continue to provide useful information and I thank you.

Great stuff. But just to be clear, given a regular (equilateral) hexagon, the distance between two opposite vertices (the farthest apart points) is always equal to twice the length of any side. It's not coincidental; it's mathematical. And, as you know, math is a woodworker's best friend.

Brings me back to my drafting class !😅

Short and Sweet. Thanks!

Oh... Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks, dude! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

That's cool!! Thanks

I appreciate how many "short" videos you put out. Not that they all have to be short. I like your longer content too. But it seems like more and more of the content creators I watch are making longer and longer videos. I like that when you have a cool trick to show, you put a video up that is often less than 5 minutes, but packed with great info. As a result, I watch pretty much everything you release, whereas with others I follow I often end up skipping some of theirs. Of course, I also watch all of yours because I always get something out of them too. Thanks for what you do.

What do you do if you don’t have a compass? Go buy one, it’s way easier that way! 😂

The last time I used imperial measurements my curtains caught fire. Ever since I switched to metric all curtains and pets tails have been safe.

Once again, Jodi demonstrates what a math geek he is! Kudos.

Mr Medlock would be laughing his head off at me right now. Of everything I learned in HS, geometry is what I hated the most, paid the least amount of attention to, and use more than anything.

That was pretty handy, any chance you can do an octagon video? Same idea but different ratio?

Dude, were you reading my mind ?? I was just thinking about how to make some hexagon tea light holders for a simple gift.

Your videos are always short, to the point and you have some of the best tricks I've seen from a woodworker. Thank you for everything.

Don't suppose you can do this for an octagon.

Compass technique looks easier

Hi ! What compass do you use ? Could post a link where I can buy the same ?thank You !

I feel like I just finished Mr. Cash’s sophomore geometry class.

One of my favorite channels.👍
