jdmidwest Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 It has been long winter and several boards have met their match to my saws, routers, and drill. I found a source for bandsawn red cedar cut to 3/4" by 10" for a buck a board foot. I have a cabinet shop supplying me oak and maple scrap for frames. About the only thing I have not found a way to make is the foundation itself. I had to break down and buy it. At present I have components for about 200 frames of various sizes and styles. 3 completed 5 frame hives for swarms. 2 completed cedar hives, one 8 frame with a gable roof and the 10 frame with a plastic roof. Hive stands and multiple spare boxes that just need to be screwed together and finished out with either spar urethane or bargain exterior latex. Here is some of the finished product "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Wayne SW/MO Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 So what's going to be for dinner for all those hives? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
