Thank you so much for the valuable information, as a young beekeeper and woodworker it's amazing to be able to learn from the creativity of experienced and innovative individuals such as yourself! Please keep the videos coming, I watch them all. I'll definitely be giving this technique a try during our upcoming Eucalyptus flow. Handshakes in thought and greetings from sunny South Africa!
Hi, I'm just wondering if you would make these for others, I'm in South Australia. I like the idea of less plastic packaging, seems more natural, and sustainable. It presents well too. I'm a senior female beekeeper with minimal woodworking skills. 😊
It would be too time consuming for me to make these frames for someone else. I make a few for my own use and for a small number sales at the markets but I don’t really want to get into larger scale production.
G'day Les, I like your design. Have built myself a frame with 8 sections. For me it was a problem cutting the sections to 4mm thickness. I was wondering if you have tried Balsa or have any thoughts about its suitability? I was thinking it is sized to the thickness, 2.5 or 3mm and would be easy to bend to shape without cutting or stapling!
Hi Swell. I went down that path about 3 years ago but was not happy with the results. Give it a go, you may develop a better technique than what I used. The pine works well for me and the squares are quick to make. I also get off cuts for free which is an added bonus. I’m always open to improvements and will change when they come along.
I use Radiata Pine which is the same timber that is often used in boxes and frames in Australia. Many of the softwoods or hardwoods would be suitable. Just check that they don’t have toxins in them or a strong aroma of pine that may impact on the honey. Ensure that the timber is untreated.
YOU have a lot of ingenuity, thanks for sharing it with us.
My pleasure. I hope it is of some use to you.
amazing work . 100% great design . no design is better than square shape
Thankyou. I am quite happy with the design of this frame.
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing, hope you are well :D

Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with the next flow. I hope this technique works well for you.
I like the jigs. I can see alot of labour invested in each.
The jigs take a bit of time to sort out but are the only way to ensure speed and accuracy.
Very interesting, thank you 👍
Wow sooo clever
Great job!
Thanks Suzanne. The comb tastes amazing on a cracker biscuit with a piece of cheese.
I love this!
👍
Best i have seen yet.
Thanks Peter. Give it a go.
@@lesgold2132 I definitely will, so simple, Gonna give it a go Monday and set up a full super I think. Save so much time on extraction. Genius.
Great video...same hoby sir from Borneo

Good luck. It will work well for you in a strong nectar flow.

They made the square into a thin 3 comb without being curved facing down

@@lesgold2132 Thanks for the quick response Les.
I may have missed it, but what type of wood is o.k. to use. My hardware/big box store dosent seem to have anything like it?
