Thanks Kamon. I dug out my old kelley jig that I hadn't used in decades. I was scratching my head as to how to use this and the video was a great help.

I just built one of these jigs. Wondering what spring it requires? I'm seeing 12" screen door springs but wondering if this is long enough or look for longer... Suggestions?

Thanks, Kamon. I have the same jig, and it works nice. I will add the last staple to my frame building routine. I know you are a fan of plastic foundation, but have you ever used fishing line to wire your frames? Can you cut queen cells out of plastic foundation?

Haha I am safe about alot of things but life is too short to do everything the safest way. Especially when you work with millions of bees that are packing the heat!

Hello Kamon, I'm in real need of some shop advise from you. I have purchased and put together my entire flow hive 2 and messed it up in a couple ways. For one, i stripped out a couple holes and am going to try adding a toothpick to help correct it. Yet I would like to ask help with another mistake I made. I did not use 90* angle corner clamps to make sure they set straight, and now the my base and two brood boxes don't line up with one another. So I have taken them all apart, order the brasses, yet don't know how to correct the screw holes that are already set? I feel like even with the brasses intact, the screws are going to go right back into the same hole pattern and the boxes will again be off centered. Someone told me I could try to slightly bend each screw. Or should I add toothpicks in all the holes then try to re-screw? What would you recommend? It would be so helpful to hear back from you. This is a project that is very important to me, as you well know. Thank you so much. Brad

Thanks for the video! What’s your take on wax vs plastic foundation?
@kamonreynolds4 жыл бұрын
The bees will draw the plastic just as quickly if it has a nice coat of beeswax on it. I literally can insert 20 plastic sheets in the time I can wire one deep wax foundation. The both work well if used correctly

what length staples do you use for the last staple? I typically use 1.5" staples or the tops and bottoms but I'm pretty sure that will be too long for that last angle shot you show at the end.

why did you do 1 staple here, but in another video, you used 2 staples next to eachother?
