Has anyone built any Rose Hives or familiar with "The Rose Hive Method"?

I haven't yet but I like the idea of thicker lumber for the insulation value and am planning to standard 2x lumber to make boxes next spring. The plan I have is to use the Langstroth inner dimensions so standard frames will work. That should make it easier to work with other people.
CDX plywood for the sides long enough to cover the end of a lift bar on each end. I don't have access to a shaper or a planer like the Rose Hive guy does.
I am trying to simplify the box building as much as possible with my limited equipment.
I think these boxes can be built fast and inexpensively.
I am also going to check with a saw mill about an hour away for rough cut.
Are you thinking of the Rose type hives also?
If it was easy, everyone would do it....
