Frames and Frame Assembly
Mar 12th, 2009 by Robo
It seems like frames and frame assembly is something that the beginners on Beemaster forums often have questions about. So with the help of my son, I’m working on putting together a series of short videos. Here is the first session which is an overview of frame types, frame sizes, and frame styles. I will do additional segments on frame assembly and frame wiring.
Overview
Foundation & Wiring
Eyelets & Assembly
Jigs & Air Nailers

[..YouTube..] This series of videos is incredible useful – I’ve kept bees for almost 4 years and have only used already assembled equipment, but I’m ready to start trying out different approaches and building my own equipment, and it is SO useful to have someone with this kind of skill and knowledge share with newer beekeepers. Thank you.

[..YouTube..] I build my own frames. I sure wish I had a table saw like yours. Nice video.
Reply
[..YouTube..] It is a nice saw, but I had a 3rd hand 9″ Craftsman contractor that I used for many years while I saved up for this one

[..YouTube..] Great video but please wear eye protection with air staples. Pieces of stapes can fly in your eye.

[..YouTube..] Hi Rob.. While I just stumbled onto your video while surfing Youtube, I’ve absolutely no interest in ever keeping bees because I’m hideously allergic to them. I am commending you on a very interesting series of instructional videos as I’ve sat and watched them all, wanting more.. I walk away feeling like I’ve learned a lot from this.. Thanks mate..
