- In this video John teaches us how to assemble hive frames quickly by using a frame-building jig!
This jig allows you to assemble 10 frames at once, saving you a lot of time. It holds the end bars up-right and at the proper distance so the top and bottom bars can be nailed rapidly while keeping frames square. Use this device with deep, medium, and shallow frames. Can be used to assemble both slotted-top and traditional wedge-top and grooved-top frames.
This frame-building jig is available at our online store:

I know I'm 3 years late to the party but I put this video on while I'm assembling bodies and frames. I bought a jig because I have seen your video before. It's a lifesaver. Thanks!
We appreciate your business!
Thank you
Thanks for the clear instruction. Recently acquired frame parts and a jig as bonuses when getting abandoned equipment. Wasn't sure how to assemble them. You have removed all my fears of going forward into the unknown. Our imaginations really can make us think it is harder than it really is. 😊
Excellent instruction video - thanks for taking time and sharing with us.
Thanks for watching, Bob!
You did that entire batch of frames faster than it took me to do one frame in the 60s and 70s. Plus we used wired wax foundation that was about a quarter inch short of the proper depth. I would have given my left arm for a jig like that with a stapler like that, 55-60 years ago.
I'm too old and beat up to do bees these days but I love watching your videos. They are so educational that I feel like grinning whether I'm agreeing with you or learning something new. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you for your comment.
Beekeeping and its equipment has truly came far. And I thank you for watching.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Thanks for all the great info. Got my boxes and gear, bees on order, and can’t wait to start this adventure.
That's great to hear, Jeff! We always love hearing about the beekeeping journeys of our viewers. Keep us in the loop, and let me know if you have any questions. We appreciate you!
I've been watching your videos. Going into my 3rd year of these bees keeping me I have a lot of questions about pretty much everything.
You're a great teacher. Thanks for the details. Sometimes seasoned beekeepers forget the little details.
Thanks

Susan we're extremely glad you're watching. To be honest, even after many many years of beekeeping, we still sometimes have questions too. That's why this community is so important. We're here for you! When you have questions, please feel free to ask!
I see you sliding that left hand down before pulling the trigger while pinning those ears... "misfire...learning" = "run-out" into the side of your finger. One learns real fast. haha
haha, I suppose all it takes is one time to learn a quick lesson.
Come on John, you can tell us how many frames you have built. I would guess I’m in the 10K range. Only one staple in the finger. That jig is a game changer. Really fast and square frame. If your frames are not square it will decrease/increase your bee space and cause problem in the future. Nice instruction video.
Too many to count, that's for sure! haha
That’s a great video thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Question...is there a reason you can't put the foundation in before adding the bottom bar? Seems it'd be quicker to slide them in instead of the extra step of snapping them in. I'm assuming there is a learned lesson I'm missing?
Hey Bart, you could absolutely do it that way if it works better for you. John snaps them in because it's a little easier than holding them in place while the bottom bar is attached. There's no right or wrong on that. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching!
Why would you remove the jig before placing the last staple?
Thank you John and may I ask you what is the difference between a black foundation and a light color one and what you recommend on the top part (The Super) foundation and the bottom part ?

#1 - The black foundation was created for one reason: so that the beekeeper can find the queens eggs easily. The contrast between the black foundation and the small egg will stand apart.
#2 - if you think that you may want to graft eggs from a hive it's easier to do from the black foundation. You can continue with black bottom to top but most beekeepers seem to run the black in the brood chamber only. Then going with a lighter color for honey production. Very good questions and I hope this has helped. Thanks! #RTBBF

I’m really happy and glad for your Reply John and I really appreciate your time to answer me!!
Thank you

When stapling the bottom rail, my staple is splitting the bottom rail. Any suggestions to prevent?
My first thought would be to check to see if my air pressure is set too high, driving the staple too deep.
