I was expanding my beekeeping and bought a lot of new equipment so I decided to build a jig to assemble the boxes. Here are pictures.

First picture is the hive box jig without the follower boards. Second is the follower boards being put in. The third is ends being put in the jig. The fourth is the sides being put on. The fifth is the sides being hammered into place with a mallet. The sixth is the sides being nailed. The seventh is the jig being flipped to do the other side. The eighth is the jig being removed after nailing the other side. The ninth is the follower boards being removed from the middle of the boxes.
