Hi..we saw a picture of a tree bench and my hubby made a small model and it looked good..his problem was when he made templates for the measurements given..The tree bench is 48" in dia. by 15" overall, and 24"wide and is hexagonal. So far nothing has come close..Tried 15" and beveled it to 24" across top of piece..no good. Has done 8" at bottom and did a 60 degree angle to 24" at top, but it doesn't meet..Are we reading the mesurements wrong? He would appreciate any hep he can get..Thank you. Donnamv

Hi,
Don"t know if this will help you, as I don't quite grasp what
your problem is. 6 x 60 Degrees equals 360, should come out right. See if this site will give you some help.
