Introduction: Under the Pot
This instructable I was inspired by a recent instructables I've seen on this site a few days ago in this page: https://www.instructables.com/id/square-wood-trivet/
Mine is built with recycled materials and easy to find, easy construction, so much so that I made in a few hours of work: this is the typical "weekend project"

Step 1: The Cut
If I reproduce the geometrical figure of the Hexagon, I started first to draw on a spruce Strip (sourced from a package), you are exactly identical equilateral triangles, using the wood as much as possible.
For information my triangles have a 70 mm side.
After cutting all blunt edges have sandpaper increasingly end, until I got these pieces as you can see in the figure. cute right?

Step 2: The Holes
After doing this, I drilled each piece as you can see in the picture, so you have all the holes facing each other.
Each hole is exactly in the middle of the side wall and to maintain it correctly I made use of a drill press.
In order to maintain the correct position of each piece I helped upright vertically to the piece of scrap Board that, given its shape fit to keep the piece for a puncture that switched from side to side.

Step 3:
I then obtained from a barrel of small bamboo tubes are 20 mm in length each.
After they have been properly sanded, I switched to the next step: painting.
I colored and cherry-colored tubes that three triangles; the other three I left them to their natural colouring of Clearcoat.
After drying the paint I've got a rubber band and I slipped, helping me with a small probe consisting of a skewer set to end with a duct tape and locking it on the opposite side, tentatively with a stick sideways.
After completing all the steps in the holes, obviously alternating tubing to the triangle, I tied the two ends of elastic together keeping it pretty tight and I hid the knot in one of the tubes.

Step 4: Finish
And here is the result, already "at work".
Not bad right?
Even if it is done in a fairly simple and not too elaborate, he makes his discreet figure in the kitchen.
