Title: new equipment
Post by: jxbeeman on May 23, 2005, 08:13:33 am

just built 17 full depth boxes.  man does making the finger joints take a long time.  and then when i was done i was one side shy of making 18 boxes.  O'well i'll just have to make it when i make my honey supers later on in the year.

What kind of jig did you use?

Are all the end dadoes about 1 inch wide?

i have 6 hives and i plan to get more.  i have probably another 4 in houses people want me to take out and i should have some swarms comeing along soon as well.  the jig i used was just a home made one.  a flat board with a peg at the right spacing.  used the table saw.
