The intro reminded me of Norm Abrams old show, "be sure to read, follow, and understand the safety rules of your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools safely will help reduce the risk of personal injury, and remember this, there is no greater safety rule than to wear these, safety glasses. Lol Nice job on your videos. Ive been watching them to learn to build hive boxes myself.

Do you have a video of building sloped bottom boards?

@thesoutherncraftwoodshop4134 Ай бұрын

I don’t currently. I may try to draw one up and do a video in the Fall or early winter. That’s typically when I start building equipment.

@josephsastre464 Жыл бұрын

Great video. Also watched the hive body/super and migratory lid videos. Thank you. Will you do one where you make standard hive tops or one where you make frames?

@thesoutherncraftwoodshop4134 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I’ll do a Migratory Lid video in the fall when I slow down a little bit. As far as frames, I made them once but would highly recommend buying them. The time, effort and the wear and tear on your tooling just isn’t practical in my opinion. Thanks for watching Wes

I'm curious, why not just use 8" boards on the bottom so that you have half as many seams on the bottom? Fewer coins, fewer dado's and a lot faster while still leaving room for expansion.

@thesoutherncraftwoodshop4134 5 ай бұрын

For me it’s a couple of reasons. The wider the board, the more cupped and twisted boards become an issue as far as getting them to slide into the dado. My other concern is the expansion and contraction of the boards themselves. These bottom boards are constantly experiencing changes in moisture content. Throughout the year they will grow and shrink multiple times. The smaller boards give me more opportunity to introduce more expansion joints to help allow for this movement.

What grade is the cypress you are using?

@thesoutherncraftwoodshop4134 Жыл бұрын

If I remember correctly, the cypress I used in this and two other videos was purchased as select several years ago for other projects. For my production hives I use #2 southern yellow pine pine or eastern white pine for most everything.

Are you for real!!!!. talk about doing something the long way, guess those that have no skills at all will think this is great.Takes me less than 5 min to build a base, and I build 100's at a time. I found your video a little ridiculous. Guess you did your best.
