Assembling frames from Mann Lake for a Langstroth deep honeybee hive 

Thanks so much, David! I just assembled 70 frames yesterday at about the same speed you did in your very helpful video. This should keep me from getting carpel tunnel whenever I have a lot of frames to assemble and takes assembling frames from being drudgery to almost being fun.

That's a nice tip about putting the glue on before you place them in the jig. I have always done each individual one after i place them in the jig. That will definitely save me some time. Thanks !!!!!

I just finished 100 one at a time. I wish I had seen your video before I took that on. Greetings from the Blue Mountains outside Sydney Australia

+David Jastram, love it, I learned a new technique from you. My jig is a tad different in that I left one end loose, and use wingnuts and lag bolts to attach it so I can actually clamp the end boards snugly to the top and bottoms as I glue and staple. Also, you might want to staple UNDER the ears on the top boards, parallel to the top board. This will prevent staples from pulling out as you lift the ear and the frame is propolized to the hive body. Might not happen, but a horizontal staple thru the end board into the top board is a lot stronger than what you show here (which I used to do). Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! My frames are arriving today... I am making your jig!! Thank you for your advise!

Thank you for sharing this video, it will certainly will help me a lot, just starting to build my first frames.Greetings from San Diego, California. Best Regards.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try the paint brush idea for sure.

hello friend, I am very impressed with the technique you cultivate bees, all modern, from the cultivation box making tool to the equipment you use. greetings from me a traditional beekeeper from the province of Bengkulu, Indonesia. I'm very impressed with your technique for making bee boxes

Thank you from the bottom of my baby beekeeping heart.

Nice work !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

Jig looks like it works good. I prefer a one and a quarter inch staple in the bottom. That way you get 3/4" into the frame. A 5/8" would only be going in an eighth of an inch. Would not hold much. You do use glue though. That would hold more.

Great content great video I to use inch and a quarter and apply two of them

Thank you for Video! Best greetings to American beekeepers from Ukraine! Good luck and best wishes!

Nice, great way to keep them squared up.

merci pour la technique de montage de cadre. bonne continuation dans l'apiculture et merci du partage de connaissance Monsieur.

I love defiant frame builders.

That jig is pretty darn swift. Love it. Having a very small woodshop n limited wood working know until a year ago I quickly found out the advantages of many different man-hour saving jigs. Guess I'll scan the comments to see if you left a plan lead for the cool jig. Thankz !

I think it works also without glue. Great Idea!!

Looks great, awesome ideas!

very nice. I love that jig!

Homes when you get the all the top bars on you have the stapler pointed in the same direction staple the right side and just move across the side and stable the left side you don't even have to change the direction of the stapler don't quite understand the comment when you're stifling the ones on the right side of your jig your Staples pointed in the same direction and then we just move it over to the left side you still point in the same direction

Nicely done. Thank you

wow that seems like a lot of work. I buy my glue in a large container and pour some out onto a plastic dish. then I take a small paint brush and brush my glue on. I use a staple on top then in the side. then one in the bottom. The side staple keeps the top secure a bit more.

nice job..looking at you makes it soo easy..hope to have your dimensions for that work.

looks good

If you dont glue them you can remove one side and replace it when it cracks this also keeps any dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde in the glue contamination your bees

Love the compressor hammer. You dah man!

The bottom of the frame is a whole different issue because there's no lip to push your safety up when you're stapling the left side for spinning the Box might be necessary recommend putting up in your safety so it doesn't have to be pushed up I would never recommend such a

Rápido y prácticao. pero cuando esos marcos tengan propóleos y cera ; es muy probable que se desensamblen al levantarlos, yo.evito eso.clavandolos por el costado. Saludos y buena suerte.

Fastener should be Twice the length of the part you are holding, just so you know.

Bro in this box which bee will you keep?

100% good tip thanks a lot

I need adjackly next step video to follow it. May I get it in my inbox plz?

Has Bob Bennie says if the glue's not oozing out you did not use enough sometimes I go to get my frames in the glue to each other and I say damn

Круто. Спасибо за видео.

I thank you very much!

Waoo l like that

Dave- what type of frames are those? (Open wedge/split top/etc) thanks and great vid!

u got it mate :) i like your sistem, and i give u two thumbs up brother

+David Jastram Thanks for the video, just what I have been looking for. Quick question, on the plans that you link to, he states to use 1x4, which is only 3-1/2" tall. That seems too short to me and yours look more like 1x6 (5-1/2" tall). Am I correct? Thanks in advance

Good job with easy method bro

Not sure why I can't reply to anthony jarboe's comment, but... since you don't have $10,000 to buy an air stapler, why not do like I did and but the $15.99 one from Harbor Freight?

Hi. Your video was very good, more too the point how you put the frame together so quick. I'm starting off my own bee hobby this year and was looking for a cheaper way to build a national Irish hive. If you have any more video's please could you send me the link. Thank allot.

Thank you sir

I don't glue frames...makes it impossible to fix if there is a problem...

Thanks you very much

the best way to do a perfect job :) 100 likes

Que ótima idéia. Sou seu fã.

Thanks. I'm not sure how many frames per bottle.

yes.

Good Job!

Nice work, do you have any other bee hive jigs kicking about in your workshop that we can see please, very helpful. Cheers Curt

We’re do you get your frames?and what style are they?and will the same jig work for med. frames..

Nice-I got one from Mann Bees.Sorry Anthony we use a air gun to.

Молодец, мне понравилось. Палец вверх.

Nice Beehive assembly Fixture! Is there an easy way to insert the foundations into the already assembled frame? I am using the plastic pre-waxed foundations... and having a bugger of a time getting them into the frames after the frame is fully assembled.

I am left to assume the staples are crown and 1/4 ?

Do you use a side nail to hold the top bar and sides ?

Great,,,, where do you get your frame material from?

Like. Qual a medida dessa caixa ?

vgood

your video answered my question.....thanks

What type of wood do you use to construct the frames?

+anthony jarboe I'm sorry my stapler troubles you.

cool looking jig starting to gather up equip. for me to start keeping this spring i hope .subd ya like to learn what i can before hand might not make as many mistakes ya know

Doesn't the glue contain formaldehyde?

What size staples are you using???

Gostei👍👍👍🛠🛠🛠

What are the dimensions of your jig?

What kind of wood you use?

what size staples do you use

bem pratico ! ok

Do you selling the frames?

nice I can't afford nice things=lol Don

I was so impressed by your video I put a link to it on www.beekeepingforum.co.uk so that other British people can see how good they are.

What is gum?

what's name this machine? I want to buy this

muito inteligente eu gostaria de saber como faz quadrinhos.

I enjoyed your video. I was wondering do these get painted or water sealed? I'm starting into bee keeping hobby next year and this is the preparation planning year. Unlike the chickens I have my wife is 100% behind the bees. :) Do you know of any concerns on what goes on the boxes? I'm planning my boxes to go in my corner lot near my chicken coop. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fxZfx-ZDw-U.html and I want them to last forever, hot sun and wind so wood protection I think is needed.

What is machine name?

cool hive but in the videos I hate it like when you used your Staple gun. ex. "for the next step we will be using a $10,000 piece of equipment that most people don't have." that what I didn't like about this video
