I've made square coasters before, and thought it would be fun to try making
hexagon shaped coasters.

And yes, hexagons are the bestagons! 🐝

As referenced in the video, here are some other good videos of people making hexagons:
   • Hexagon Cutting Jig 2.0 | Cut a Hexag...   -- DIYMontreal
   • How to Make Hexagon Coasters   -- BuildersSA from South Africa

I recommend the DIYMontreal video if you want the ultimate hexagon-making Tablesaw sled. It looks very versatile and powerful.

I used a cutting board off-cut to make my hexagon coasters. While I don't have a video about that specific cutting board, here is a short playlist of various cutting boards that I've made, which illustrates how I like to mix up different species to make something visually stunning:
