Thank You so much for making and sharing this video! Very helpful and informative!
Tough crowd! Not everyone has planers, jointers and narrow kerf blades to get started in beekeeping! Use what you already have, I get it!
I appreciate you sharing this video!
Yup. Thanks. Your welcome.
You have been the best at explaining how side bars can be made. I watched many and found yours very outstanding. Great work for this sharing.
Thanks. I’m glad it’s helping a few.
Well done! Thank you for showing the side bar jig! I've seen several videos but none explain how they are done. Thank you!
That's a pretty clever jig for tapering the sides. Well done! Informative video. Thank you for posting it!
I used a 3/4 inch Mortising Bit on my router table and put a stopper at the right length and desired depth of the cut and it is working well too!
I got to agree though, his setup is more secure and looks a bit more efficient too!!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Subscribed :)
I enjoyed your video. This is a great way to make the side bars with just a table saw. If you had a thickness planer you could save a lot of time by planing your material to thickness before cutting your chunks on the miter saw. You would have to fine tune your jigs a bit but would save a couple of steps.
I love the use of the data blade jig to do the tapering at the end. Much faster than a router table!
I found that the jig for the grooves here has a problem with kick back and if it does it hurts. I found it’s actually quicker and easier to use a 3/4” dado stack and cut the groove in the whole stock piece before cutting them down to 3/8”.
Thanks for the tips!
This was definitely the hardest part for me. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome.
If you make an updated video, would you be switching to feather boards on the table saw? I was also curious as to whether solid wood was preferred over plywood or if it is just a price consideration? If plywood was an option, someone with a CNC could batch these out in massive numbers quickly, and you know they would stay straight and strong. I am not familiar enough with lasers to know if that would work or not, but I would imagine that would be even faster
Thank You for putting the great video together for making beehive components. As a fellow beekeeper (I'm a "New-Bee" beekeeper) - I appreciate it. Suggestion: Maybe put a melamine tall fence on your tablesaw's fence when cutting the dados ? (approx 6 min in video) Keep up the great work.
Thank you, your video was the only one I found that explained why there are those notches in the side bars. You have saved me from future headaches. :o) Well done, thanks!
Your welcome.
Damn , you make it look so easy , you sir are a wood wizard lol , awesome video
Loved the way you made it easy. Thanks.
Your welcome.
Amazing
Thank you 🙏
May Allah bless you more
Good rainy day chores.
You could speed up the process by running your 2x6 thru a planer so you make it the same width as the side bars.
Good idea. Also seems to me you could use a jointer (with a stop) to taper the sides before slicing them to 3/8" thickness. I would guess this to be much faster than using the jig in the video.
One day I’ll get a planer.
Thanks for this video. Just built a tapering jig modeled after yours. My fingers thank you.
Now I just tried out the new jig and it worked perfectly. Looks just like the ones they sell commercially. And fingers are safe. Thank you so much. One thing I’m going to do differently though is “plane” down my wood to width so I can just center the dados. I use 2x3 lumber so it’s easy to plane down my lengths by just dust cutting one side.
Fantastic! I’d love to see it in action.
@@BeeToZFL here is the jig. Somehow I have an accidental duplicity going on on UA-cam so it appears under my channel "I'll Show You" and this is the first video I've ever made or published. Thanks again!

Nice. I like it!
You make it look easy! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
Beautiful Job ! Congratulations... thank you for sharing.
Your welcome Thank you
Great video, keeping it simple with a table saw, some home-made jigs and a dado stack. A planer to get the thickness the same might help, might not. Great video.
Thank you.
Interesting. I started making my own frames and did the side bars the exact same way!
The only problem I had was lumber quality. You need the best / densest pine you can get... otherwise the ears have a tendency to break off during assembly of the frame.
I had the same issue, lumber quality is just so far down because it's all new growth. I just planned on making extras. If they break, they garbage. Guess you could try repurposing them for a medium frame, but it will probably just splinter and break again.
I made a bunch of medium frames because I had to add to my hive right away. The girls were crowded and I didn't want to take the chance of swarming before I could get some shipped in. All I had was a cheap Riobi 10inch table saw( no datto) and a chop saw! They are not pretty but the girls took to them!!
I'll make more. It will go quicker and look better with more experience!!
☝😁👍
Great video thanks for it and the guy VINO Farms recommended!
Awesome! Thank you!
You can save a load of time by first planning your board to the required thickness.
Then cut to lengths and and dado the grooves. Then i use the jointer to shape the sides before you saw the block in to individual pieces. Also if you use a thin kerf blade you end up less sawdust and more pieces at this stage.
Yes, do the sides before the split cuts :-))
Great tips. Hopefully one day I can get a planer.
Excellent job thanks
Thank You.
Great video. Looking forward to trying it.
Thanks.
I really like your set up for making the sides cut down to 1 inch! Going to make that jig. Thanks
Your welcome.
Great job men, very much inspiring. I'm not a carpenter but one day I'll try out one.
I’m not great ether….small steps in the right direction gets the job done though.
I know it's an old video, but I want to say thank you for actually showing good safety procedures. It's terrifying how many how-to videos on making beekeeping equipment show people doing incredibly dangerous things with table saws, like free-handing those dado cuts or ripping with no push sticks and a missing riving knife. 😬
Did the thought ever cross you mind, that table saws were around for many, many years without Riving knives, etc??
Some people don't need or want them. Me being one of them, and I have all 10 fingers and have been using table saws for 60+ years..
Daddo blades are outlawed in other Countries.. Can you imagine that?? Why?? People who want to restrict how other people work, because, they are scared to work with them themselves... It's really a crying shame!
AND,,, we didn't have videos showing us how to use them either.. Just plain ole common sense is what we learned with.
Wow,, how people have changed over the years... Do you see the Common Sense in this reply??
Try to Cut Aluminum with a SawStop, and see how much that mistake we have done for years costs you... Why?? Because, someone thinks you need to make me safe.. Ha..Ha..Ha.. Only in today's world..... No wonder so many people rolled up their sleeves to take the "DNA Editing" without even thinking how dangerous that "Untested Edit" was going to be.. Ha..Ha.. Shocking!!
Or,, wear a 90 micron mask to stop a virus that is 5 microns in size.. It is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence...
Some People!!!! You can't help them!!
Lets see how many likes our two comments get!! Mine vs yours!
Nothing wrong with your reply... Just the basis and thought process behind it..
You do know, if you design a pair of Steel Gloves, you can guarantee you can use a table saw and NEVER cut your fingers?? Probably won't be able to use or move your fingers, but, who cares right?? You are safe!!
You can sell your car and never drive again and guarantee, you will never get into a car accident, but, don't ride with anyone else either.. And, stop using knives and forks because, you might stick yourself in the face..
And, don't wear shoes with shoe strings, in case you forget to tie them.. And, the list goes on.. Maybe a a saw blade with zero teeth? When will you guys stop??
Pick a trade/hobby, where you don't fool with dangerous things.. Might want to remove the door thresholds under your doors. Might trip over that.. But, that means, don't go to anyone else's home either!! It's Absolute Lunacy.
@@MarkThomas123 I use a radial arm saw myself. I was also in the army. I definitely understand the concept of doing things that have inherent risk.
What I'll never get is why you had to go on a long, completely unhinged rant because I thanked a guy for using his common sense to not multiply the risk for absolutely no reason.
@@TheRealWeirdoC Yea.. I'm sure I couldn't find the same comment, on a UA-cam Safety Police negative note.. I don't need anyone to keep me safe.. Neither do 99% of the others who do woodworking and video..
Some people just bend the knee to the Safety Police.. Guess you can tell I don't/won't..
So, there you go.
thanks for the jig idea. took 20 min to build. work perfectly.
Your welcome.
I build my own beehives out of pallets.
It's alot of work but they're beautiful and the price is right.
I run all 8 frame mediums. It seems to suit useing pallets.
But I really want to make my own frames. Thanks for the video.
Nice. Your welcome.
Awesome video. Subbed!
Thank You.
Thanks for yor
in detail description of the cutting process and your equipement !!!
P.S.
I come across an interesting video today , at this guy chanal :
R. Ivkovic
Title:
Deeping of beehives components in hot wax
It might give you some very interesting assembly jig - IDEAS !!!
All the best !
Cool, thanks! I’ll check it out.
Very good and easiest way of making Side Bars. Thanks a lot.
Your welcome.
Best to do an undersized dado first, both thinner and a bit shallow. Setup is easy as you dont have to be exact. That way the final pass you dont have to push as hard, wont stall your saw and it doesn't burn.
Good tip. I’ll have to try that one day. Extra step though.
Best i've seen so far,maby the planner would help thanks
Thank you. I’ve always wanted a planer.
Did you mention how deep is the cut verticaly ?
Thank you for the video I got some tips From you. I like the people who doing something by their own hands.👍👍👍👍
Your welcome.
Have been doing this for the last 20 years, but use a router for the 'Hoffman' finish, might just consider a dado blade.
Interesting.
You have inspired me with this video. I am going to try this. Thank you for taking the time to record and post this video.
Your welcome.
❤✔
Ty.
sure like the beekeepers workshop and i like the jig's you've made
Good video if you only have a table saw.
I plane my long boards to 1 3/8" and then cut blocks 9 1/8". Cut your top and bottom bar notches, use a jointer to plane the lower 2/3 down to 1 1/8" and THEN rip. I use a bandsaw for ripping to save wood and cut freer. I also have a 4 hole drill for the wire holes.
Hopefully this channel can grow and support the purchase of more tools. For now, I’ll use what I have. Thanks for the tips.
Planning to do this with a scroll saw.
Nice. I’d love to see a video.
Hey thanks for the video, very good!!!!! Do you have one on how to make a top and bottom bars? Should come up with one 😊
Soon. Thank you.
Smart
Thank you.
I plane my 2X lumber to the correct thickness before anything else. Then I don't have to trim every individual side bar
One day I’ll have a planer. 😁
Pick yourself up a small thickness planer and then you can plane them down to the exact width. But it looks like you have a good setup going! How many side frames per 2X6X8? And then how many 2 by needed for the rest of the build? Thanks
Definitely jointer. Run before dido and rips.
One day I’ll get a planer.
You are very smart person. Thank you for sharing it.
Your welcome.
This video is pure gold
Thank you.
i like this
Thank you.
Best best way tô do it .
Great job Bro .
Thank you sir.
Holy smokin’ dado blade! 😉
Yeah, I probably need a new set.
A wood tenon jig is easy to make great video thanks!
Your welcome.
Very good 👌
Thank you.
Great job sir
Thank you.
If you had other tools you could do these even easier, but I like your jig system.
The only thing I might change if I was you would be. to use a thinner kerf blade for cutting the side bar off the piece of wood stock.
Something like a 7 1/4 skil saw blade.
Or if you don't mind spending money, Infinity tools has a ultra thin kerf blade that is even thinner.
But it's $200.
I mention this. Because your loosing alot of end bars per chunk of wood, that kerf cut can eat into your expense alot over 75 frames.
Thanks for the tip.
@@BeeToZFL 4 years later.
Better late than never
For sure. Thank you.
Well done. Brilliant
Thank you.
EXCELLENT video. Thanks!
Your welcome.
I'm gonna have to watch this video. My first thought was "when the cloning company messes up and makes a Mark Ruffalo/Dean Caine hybrid so they just give it a normal life with anti-social hobbies." LOL
No disrespect.
Thank You.
Hi good video. You need a new Dedo blades.
I do.
What is the best wood for bee hives?, which wood you are using sir?
I use what ever I can find. Even scrap wood I find in dumpsters. Bees don’t care.
Great video. Thank you. Would you mind sharing what type of table saw you are using? I’m in the market for a new one. Thanks again.
What is the purpose for tapered sidebars, i never used them ?
Good to hear, I couldn't figure out how to do it with the piece of stock so I just said they don't need to be tapered lol. If I figure out how to do it efficiently, I will lol.
Thanks I've been trying to figure this out
Your welcome.
👍🌹
You don't say what tools to buy like arbers tablesaw adjustable ect. Thank you,?
Which table saw do you use / because not all table saws will accept dado blade set/ ?
Dewalt DWE7491
Still, not quite economical way, unless you like to cut, a lot!!
1. Make stocks for length.
2. Make top & bottom grooves (tablesaw, dado blade, router).
3. Cut out that evt. extra material from one side (few pases on tablesaw, plane).
4. Cut out that bee space parts (router, miter tablesaw 'diagonal' pass, plane).
5. Slice the stock for the final pieces.
Less work, energy used = more time with bees :)
Mann Lake.com, complete frames 86 cents each, no saws, routers or 2x6's required. Lots more time with bees:)
Good tips.
I need you to link me up am from Jamaica i love how you deal with making
Watch more videos. Thank you.
Sidebars are the Most difficult Woodwork to do, even with this machines?
Has the most steps. Yes.
Good job. Great jigs.
Thank you.
My dude, you should have planed them down for exact frame spacing/ thickness before slicing them. Jointer or planer. or even cut them down for thickness before doing the grooving. run them through
One day I’ll be able to afford a planer. Thanks for the tips.
Why did you use a 3/4 dado in the jig to cut the 3/16 off the side bars? Since the bars are only 3/8 wouldn’t a 3/8 dado give a smoother cut since most of the cutting would be done by the outside blades? Am I missing something?
Good winter time project ! Now how about one for machining the top bar ?
Soon. Thank you.
I only have a table saw and can’t wait to try this
Go for it!
Good 👍
Thanks.
This was awesome and detailed thanks. New sub
Your welcome and thank you. More to come soon.
Hey I think you give awesome info thank you I’m from the Tampa area and trying bees for the first time this year well that is if I can catch a swarm any tips ?
Thank you. I use lemmongrass oil or swarm commander. I use a 5 frame or 10 frame box with foundation on bottom and a migratory top. I put ratchet strap around the whole setup and out in a tree 10-15 feet up. I’ll re add the lure once a week. Good luck.
I didn't know Mark Ruffalo love bees! :)
Lol
How wide is your blade knife? Where did you get it?
Standard blades.
Good video and description for making the jigs. Just curious what size is your dado blades?
It varies based on how it’s setup.
Could you inform Model of the Irwin Blade you use?
The details have rubbed off sorry. There are many sets available.
Does anyone know where you can purchase just the side bars for Langstroth deep frames?
Maybe try contacting one of the big frame manufacturers like Mann Lake.
Nice thinking
Thank you.
What table saw do you have? My saw is a saying a 13/16 is the largest it will use
Dewalt DWE7491
Always best to square the end of lumber for the first cut
Thanks for the tip.
Very good- thanks
Your welcome.
nice jigs sir!
Thanks!!!
Hi what's up bro,this is the first time I came across your video I like but I don't understand the blade u used to make the cut
Dado blade set.
How's your frame making process going? I've been getting pretty close to what I believe is optimal, video on my channel if you want to see.
Nice. I’ll check it out. Haven’t made any frames in awhile now.
Is a good idea if just make one nobody wants to see a long video of 100 pieces it can be a lot more useful if you just show one whole frame that you can make in one day
Thanks for the tip.
Ingenious
Thank you.
Do you have a method to make the top bar for these sidebars?
Good
Thank You.
Anyone else Clickon after just reading the title.? Ya I am looking at how to use sidebars on a webpage... big difference!
Sorry, only bee hive side bars on this video.
Great video, but you could have saved 90% of your time by using your dado blade to trim the sides of your 2x6 before slicing out the sidebars.
Can you buy the blade in a pk with different sizes
Thanks you.
Muito bom seu vídeo Maravilha Hermano
Thank you.
That wood shop in 7th grade payed off for me
Lol. Wish I took that class in high school.
Hello beautiful video May I know the name of the knives you use and where you get them from
Dado blades.
hola desde españa,no hablo inglés, me gustaria saber donde as comprado el disco de la maquina de corte,gracias🖒🖒
Este marca está disponible en Home Depot aquí en Los Estados Unidos, no se si tienen una tienda similar allá. Amazon tiene muchas opciones de juego dado de 8 pulgadas .
hardware store locally. Available on Amazon as well I’m sure.
