Metric plans?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Sundog:
Hey Jim

My comment was based on the plan link I provided that shows 3/8 inch rails.  I have never purchased a bottom board. I too made mine with a 3/4 inch bottom rail.  Made my first one with a dado like the plans and the water got in and it failed along those edges first.  After that I stacked layers.



BeeMaster2:
Good photo Sundog.
When I started making the bottom boards, the inside looked like yours. I then found that the SHB and mites were landing on that edge instead of falling through. I try to make the ledge (which is for attaching the #8 wire) as small as possible.

Good point, Jim.

Tasssie,
Welcome to Beemaster.
That is a very nice set of bee equipment design drawings in metric.
Thanks for sharing it.
