This is Part 1 of the Wedding Arch Build Series: In this video, I show you how I built a hexagon wedding arch using basic power tools to cut the joinery (double rabbet joints and cross half lap joints), and a pocket hole jig to secure the lumber together. With the right skills and time, you could cut the joinery with hand tools.
Since it is secured with pocket hole screws (zinc coated (indoor use) 2-1/2” Kreg pocket hole screws for soft wood), it's easy to assemble and disassemble, and stores EASILY.
No brackets or metal supports are needed for the DIY. You would think this arch would be flimsy, but it is a very solid and strong. And in the video, I prove it.
I show you how to calculate the angles to make a very strong double rabbet joint. You will also learn how to make a support base that blends well with the lines and shape of the wedding arch.
Part 2 is some tips on using a router to ease the edges, how I made the stain, and how I was able to produce a smooth satin finish.

Hi Bobby. I followed your video and made my wedding arch, and my wife loved it. We're thinking of using the arch again for another event, but the pocket hole screws stripped the wood (douglas fir, 4x6 - some parts are soft). Do you have suggestions to modify so the arch can be re-assembled multiple times?

Glad your wife loves it Alex! Sorry about the stripped holes. I would repair it by over drilling the holes for oak dowels. Glue in the dowels, and flush cut when dried. Pre drill some pilot holes for the pocket screws and that should do it. I've used the arch for at least five events (weddings, gender reveals, etc.) so far, with no issues with stripped holes. I used kiln dried pine which is soft. I used pocket screws for soft wood, and when I used my driver, I made sure it was set to low torque, and if needed, I tightened it the rest of the way by hand. Good luck Alex!

@doitstepbystep3376
@doitstepbystep3376 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comments Lyndon. A Heptagon has seven sides. Hmmm. This would require some prototyping and trial and error to get the cuts just right. To save yourself $$, I would prototype a smaller version using an 8' 1x4 and cut seven 1' pieces. If you use the same calculation method as the hexagon, then it would be 360 divided by 7 which equals 51.42. Divide that by 2 and that equals 25.71. Not a very easy angle to measure, so I would start there, and adjust the cut as needed. Once you know that the angles work, you can scale it up to the 2x6s. I hope this helps!

Question, should you cut the 30 degree angle for every piece first before making the rabbit joint? Wouldn't that shorten the overall length? Or should you just use the template to maximize the length of each piece of wood?
@doitstepbystep3376
@doitstepbystep3376 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, and thanks for the question. I maximized the lumber by cutting 30 degrees in the center of the 8' 2x6. Then like in the video, I measured the 30 degree at the very tip of the other end. A template helps tremendously, just make sure you know your cutlines so the dimensions are equal and that the ends are mirror images of each other, not flipped. Good luck!

Hi Ashley! Sorry to hear about the issue you are facing. Let's see if we can get this sorted out and fixed for you. First check to make sure the ends are alternating; each side piece should have one end grain exposed, and the other end grain covering the next piece. See 6:55 minutes into the video for the example. If the orientation of the sides are correct and you still have a gap issue, mark the piece(s) where the gaps are, and then stack ALL the pieces side by side to line up the double rabbet joints. By doing this, you can compare the cut dimensions, and the lengths. Hopefully this will reveal some cuts that can be fine tuned with some sanding. Give this a try and let me know if this helps you!

@doitstepbystep3376 2 жыл бұрын
Hi sugaslate. Most dimension issues point back to cutting the lumber: either on the line or on the wrong side of the line. Where to cut with respect to the line you draw is important and can get confusing. Remember to "cut away" the not needed wood and "cut to save" the wood that is needed. I recommend making a template. I made two so I could see how the double rabbet joint fits together. Remember the template represents the lumber. Lines drawn with use of the template should be cut up the line's edge on the "save" lumber. Here is a link to a template video that may help you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpp6Y7d6sZqxk5c.html

A helpful tip is to drill a hole in the corners of the half lap joints so you can insert the jigsaw blade to cut the 1.5" line. Also, I used the circular saw to cut the slopes of the base supports.

Hi Erica, You can make a template using the measuring directions in the video. I used a piece of MDF that is the same width (5.5") as the lumber and 12" long. MDF is very easy to cut, and strong enough use as a template. If you are careful with your cuts, four 8' 2x6s will be enough for the hexagon, and base supports. Three 8' 2x6s will be used for the hexagon sides And one 8' 2x6 will be used for the base supports. You should end up with one 2' section of lumber not used.

Hi Katrynah. Have you seen this video? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpp6Y7d6sZqxk5c.html First, verify the width of your lumber. If it is 5.5", then the distance from each side to the middle should be 2.75" If that is correct, then measure from each side to the center of the double rabbet joint. Each side for each piece should be 2.75". If it is not, then the saw blade cut on the wrong side of the drawn centerline. If each piece of lumber measures 2.75" from side to center, then that is good. Now measure the three rabbet joint cut lines. They should be equal to each other. For a 5.5" width, it should be 3 3/16". At least by my tape measure it was. Let me know how the measurement checks out. I used a circular saw to cut most of the line, and then finished with a jigsaw.

Can you please provide a printable template or instructions re how to make the template. I watched the other video you did on making a template but it was a template for 2X4 and not for 2X6. Thanks!

Hi. Sorry about not seeing your comment earlier. I haven't thought about a printable template before and it might be helpful. I've check into it, and from what I understand, printers vary on how accurate they print and you might be better off measuring directly on the lumber.

Did you ever make a printable template? In watching the video, the center of the wood is found and two 30 degree angled cuts are made. I will try to make one today, I would appreciate it if you checked it.

Lumber was less expensive when I designed and built the arch in 2020. I spent approximately $65 USD for lumber.

Each piece is 47.75". When assembled, a "side" is almost 51". This is because when one piece is fastened together to another piece, a side is "extended" 3 3/16". I hope that makes sense.
