Building frames
Occam:
This may not be one of those necessary things for us to do as beekeepers although it's certainly useful to know how to do. For whatever reason I was having trouble finding info on building your own frames and finally came across this series of videos and thought they were informative and interesting. Hopefully helpful to anyone else out there interested in the topic.

Occam:
I'm planning on making some this year myself. Mostly for the experience of it. I also have two friends that are very interested in getting into beekeeping that both enjoy woodworking and thought it may be a step into the beekeeping world.
Ben Framed:
I use a table saw, a sliding miter saw, and two router tables with two different router set ups for different cuts. I wound up making a template where I can cut 10 cuts with one pass. It?s dangerous but it works for me.
I have cut so many that I am sick of doing it lol. :shocked: :grin:
I found a manufacturer in China who could make and ship cheaper than I could do it by buying in bulk. I toyed with the idea of buying a large quantity and co-oping but I did not do it. Mine are made right here in the USA in my own garage. lol
