    Default Hexagonal timber exhaust fan vent?

    Hi
    I want to get a decorative exhaust fan vent made out of timber,probably a hexagonal shape. Just wondering if anyone has ideas of who may make such things, or anyone on this site who may do such things?
    Cheers

    Yes but but I want a face on it but want to cut some rectangle holes in it. Thought there may be a super tool for it, otherwise I will just drill and use a jigsaw

    No a bit more artistic. A mate suggests a multi tool which looks like it might do the job

    If you want to make them yourself, I doubt a multi tool will cut the angle to the precision required. 1 degree out and the error will compound 12 times and look nasty. A multi tool will cut out the inserts just fine though. A good, accurate mitre saw would be ideal to make the frame.

    I suggest getting two band clamps as well.
