Love seeing a woodworking video without a Festol or a $1500 jointer. Respect ✊

I appreciate that you used real wood working techniques a jointery, good job.

lol. Yes I made it because I wanted to do so, but it's definitely more logical to buy them if you are a beekeeper.

@Lucas_Terry 5 лет назад

There's many ways to build a hive although personally I don't find with complicated for someone who knows basic carpentry I think alot would enjoy doing it themselves. Although it's definitely not for everyone.

@robertshorthill6836 2 года назад

Damn fine job making your hive bodies out of real wood. If you had a real good table saw you could make a sliding gizmo to cut those box joint cuts and a good dado set. But you have the right idea. I like the good old ways myself. Free lumber and boards can be had fairly easily. Glue and biscuits are cheap enough. Good tools are always an investment in a craftsman's shop. Better to buy tools than to pay for someone else's labor at a high price.

@JasonMichaelKotarski 7 лет назад

While I would have approached this a bit differently, your ingenuity is outstanding. Thanks for posting, it's always great to see how to make things with what you have instead of what you can buy. I hope your bees are very happy in their new hive!

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

Thank you very much. I made this build for a friend beekeeper. It was really interesting process for me. I think the bee's are doing well at the moment. Perhaps I'll make a video someday after the hive stayed on the field for a few months!

@@ScrapwoodCity This happens to me too. 😂. Also picked up some timber for making a beehive. I think I will start with a jig for the finger joints. And do the frames with my scroll saw.

@ascerbic2u 5 лет назад

Fantastic. I am now convinced. I will start saving up to buy a biscuit cutter, scroll saw, band saw, or planer, chisels glue, screws and ancillary equipment, probably a mortiser selection of clamps and workshop to house it all. Not forgetting to install electricity and a kettle so I can have a brew whilst waiting for the glue to dry. Or should I just buy a hive? Probably not as satisfying but ill go the second route. Great video though.

@ScrapwoodCity 5 лет назад

lol! This is a video mate, you don't have to reproduce it in real life. I just had the urge to make a hive just to study the way it's made. Every project is also a good excuse for me to share techniques through my videos! Of course buying one is a better solution, but making one is much more inspiring!

When you trapped the wood between the saw blade and the fence at 6:22 in the video, it created a very dangerous situation. The wood can bind and shoot out the back at high speed. The scar on my belly is an indication I learned the hard way. Nice box, be careful. Great use of innovative solutions to achieve results.

kinda got the jist of it. got a perfect place in the woods. it's flourishing nicely will flowers, i'm attempting to craft some natural mead from pure honey, yeast, and maybe berries. recently got into glassblowing too, made some nice brown bottles with corks. wouldn't you like to bite off the top of a bottle and slam down a brew. you'd be a lot warmer and happier will a belly full of mead.

@nickmoretti4568 7 лет назад

holy crap dude you are totally amazing! wanted to make beekeeping set up but after watching this... I may have to just buy one because I have absolutely no idea what most of the description means. ha 😝 one question though for if I do end up building a much simpler version... why did you do the interlocking sides instead of just nailing the flat edges of wood? hope the question makes sense.. I have no woodworking experience whatsoever

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

Thanks. It makes a much stronger joint. Since this things stays outside and you also might need to lift it up while being heavy (when the hive is full of honey).

@theplaintruth4794 5 лет назад

Obviously a Union Worker - taking the longest and most inefficient route to make something that could have been done in 1/3 the time. Side-note biscuits don't make a stronger joint. But they do add material and cost, so another union move. :)

@ScrapwoodCity 5 лет назад

@julial7019 8 лет назад

Priced 1 x 12 lumber - ouch! Your approach is definitely more cost effective. Only concern would be if the seams were to gap when the wood expands/contracts from the weather. Wondering if tongue and groove or lap joints might be better because of that. Your handle jig is genius!

@FloryJohann 7 лет назад

Today was the second time I bought a 1x12 by 8 foot long board from lowes hardware for $13 and some change to make a deep body. For that price there is no need to do all that work with joining the small boards. One board like this will make a deep body and you have some left over. With 2 board you have enough for 2 deep bodies and from the leftovers to make the roof. That handle jig was copied from other websites, with a possibility from you-tube.

@marktwainabl 7 лет назад

Shane Bennett No, the bees don't heat the hive. They only heat the brood in the summer and the beeball (idk the english term) with the queen in the middle in the winter. So within the hive is the same temperature as outside in the winter.
