Just got to do some trimming on the end bars and top bar
-
Grooved or slotted bottom bars?
-
just ran a Grove with the table saw blade
-
If you had a jointer the end bars would be easy to trim.
-
Plastic foundation?
-
yes plastic
-
iv got a router table but iv not got the right bit to do that perry
-
yet! :) :D
-
Yes yet then I will be cranking them out
-
Cool deal! And yes, step the end bars down or the bees will have a BIG party gluing the entire length together! ;D
-
The ends on your top bars? All the commercially produced frames have the ends cut down to 3/8 inch thick with the top of the end bar only dado-ed 3/8" deep to take the top bar. Or do you cut the rabbet on the super ends 3/8 deeper to accommodate the end width of the top bars.
-
In going to cut the end off the top bar down I just put the frame to gethere to see the fit😎
-
Different country ..... different system.
I am using very basic brood frames. The side/end bars are plain and the same width as the top bars. No trimming of side bars or top bar lugs/ears. The frames are spaced horizontally and vertically by using fixed castellations/hive spacers. Seems to work.

Hi barbarian I was from Manchester before moving to Canada😎 trying to get set up for making frames in bulk
-

Gotta tell ya Apis, I love the look of that set-up.
I was talking to the new owner of Country Fields Beekeeping Supplies yesterday. He just purchased it, goodwill and all, and has moved it from New Brunswick to just outside Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is really the only supply store in the entire maritime provinces. What is absurd is that we bring in all the woodenware and supplies from Quebec, Ontario or even Manitoba. Last time I looked around here in NS we have plenty of pine, so why is no one doing it here? Tim the new owner, was saying that with the low currency exchange with the US it is driving costs up so high it doesn't make sense not to do something up here. All it would take is the will and investment. I can build most everything I need at a quarter of the price it is to buy, except frames and foundation, they are my 2 biggest expenses.

Hi APIs we will have to talk about that I'm working on it perry as you no😎
