Title: Iddee's not a carpenter!
Post by: Perry on December 10, 2013, 07:45:15 pm: So Iddee tells me he's having trouble putting some of his boxes together.
I tell him to send me a few pics and I'll look and see what he's doing wrong! :shock:

I told them to bring a ten frame deep box and five frames with foundation in it and we would install at my place. They showed up and chit chatted for a little bit then wanted to show off their hard work. He pulls out a new ten frame deep box with tele lid and new bottom board all painted up pretty.....looked really good I told him. Off comes the tele lid and he starts pulling out frames to show how he had installed the foundation. Poor fella had put all of the frames together and installed foundation, but failed to use ANY nails, they were just falling apart in his hands. He kept asking "how are these supposed to stay together"

We had to have a little schooling on frame building (including glue and staples), foundation install, cross wiring, and embedding. They were tickled pink!
