making side bars laystroth bee hive (works for any langstroth frames too)

Описание: This is just a quick video preview of the upcoming how-to video where I show you have to make langstroth style bee hive frames diy .... for a fraction of the cost of buying them pre-made.

I will have a longer tutorial style video when i get time to edit several hours of footage.

So, to buy 100 pre-made frames is about $180 for the frames you need to put together and about $160 for 100 plastic foundations.

I figured it up, to make 100 foundation-less frames my way, it will cost me about $46 by today's lumber prices (i have my own wax foundations) but even if you needed to buy wax starter strips, still way cheaper.

Its really a simple process but I have some efficiency tips to share cause "time is money"

If you wanted to make these and you wanted to use similar equipment as me because time is money .... you would need:

a mitre saw - although I have a 12" dewalt compound (from like 2003), the 10" will work for all bee hive equipmen - you can't freehand cut as straight as a mitre saw and handling long boards on a table saw is not fun - trust me, get one: https://amzn.to/3ozzbIh

A table saw of some sort, I use a delta contractor saw and although a cheap table top model might work, what is most important is that it has a great accurate fence that doesn't move when locked down (if you are gonna splurge and spend more on any item, make it this one): https://amzn.to/3MzYYYV

You will need an accurate dado blade set able to cut 3/8" dado: https://amzn.to/43uqWfy
I use a harbor freight 14" band saw but its overkill for bee hive equipment so I would recommend just going to a table top model: https://amzn.to/3qczRUr

A set of drill bits which is what I use to set almost every single cut: https://amzn.to/3IIQde0

The drill bit set doesn't have a 7/16 which you need: https://amzn.to/3IIERGQ
