Hi,
Can any one advise me as to where I can buy these corner brackets for joining new boxes together as seen in this YouTube video please.

Look at the video title and do a search on the internet. It comes right up.
I had the same idea and, of course, someone had already done it. I decided they were too expensive.

I opted for Kreg Pocket holes/screws. I use two bar clamps to hold them for the screwing part. I use 5 screws for Deeps and 4 for honey supers.
I may try using glue also but thus far just the screws.
I tried to post a pic but my pic files were too big.

Thank you for the reply's guys much appreciated.

I think he also has the brackets in copper. You can make a very fancy looking garden hive with the cooper and a copper top. He has some other frame rest pieces etc. They are pretty expensive, but certainly strong and pretty...

Using the brackets, in the vid how big of a space do you get between boxes with one sitting on top of the other.
-
If you look closely you will see the boards are routed for the brackets. If the wood was replaced with plastic lumber the box could last a life time.

I use to make finger joints with the incra ibox.....then I started making most of my woddenware with the Kreg pocket hole jig....I use glue and screws and have now had a failure....the easiest way to go.

Re: the original post, I use roofers drip ledge for coners on some of my boxes. This is cheap in all ways but it is strong and works, they are screwed with 3/4" lath screws.
