24. Construct a circle concentric to circle 10, tangent to circle 23 at the lower side.

25. Copy circles 18, 20, 22, and 24, to the intersection of circle 13 and ray nr. 1.

26. Construct two concentric circles centered at the intersection of the upper side of hexagon 3 and ray nr. 1, tangent to circles 18 and 20, at the upper sides.

27. Copy circles 26 to the intersection of circle 16 and ray nr. 1.

28. Construct the "two-points" circle between the intersection of circle 14, and the lower intersection of the outer circle 27, both with ray nr. 1.

29. Construct a circle concentric to circle 28, tangent to the inner circle 27 at the lower side.

30. Construct three concentric circles centered at the intersection of circle 13 and ray nr. 3, tangent to the outer three circles 25 at the righthand sides.

31. Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of the innermost circle 30 and ray nr. 3, tangent to the next inner circle 30 at the near side.

32. Construct a circle concentric to circles 30, tangent to circle 31 at the lower side.

33. Copy circle 20 to the center of circle 1.

34. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 28.

35. Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate circles 10, 11, 18, 20, 25, 30, and 32, five times, with respect to the other angular points of hexagon 2.

36. Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate circles 27, 28, and 29, eleven times, with respect to all other odd-numbered rays 4 and 5.

37. Circles 10, 11, 18, 20, 25, 27, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, are used for the final reconstruction.

38. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
