How to Make Side Bars 

Thanks. I’m glad it’s helping a few.

Thanks.

Your welcome.

Your welcome.

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’m not great ether….small steps in the right direction gets the job done though.

Definitely jointer. Run before dido and rips.

One day I’ll get a planer.

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.

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 RU-vid 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.

Thank You.

Soon. Thank you.

Good tip. I’ll have to try that one day. Extra step though.

Thank you.

Interesting.

Your welcome.

Has the most steps. Yes.

Thanks for the tip.

@@BeeToZFL 4 years later. Better late than never

For sure. Thank you.

Thank you.

Go for it!

Lol

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.

Thank you sir.

Mann Lake.com, complete frames 86 cents each, no saws, routers or 2x6's required. Lots more time with bees:)

Good tips.

Thank you.

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.

One day I’ll be able to afford a planer. Thanks for the tips.

Your welcome and thank you. More to come soon.

Thanks.

Thank You.

I’ve only used poplar or pine. Not sure.

Thank you.

Old message. I’m sure you don’t need them now. Happy island beekeeping.

​@beetoz5283 Hi, thank you for your reply. Believe it or not I do still need it. I do need it because I will use it as an example to make my own ones. Please note that I don't own any bees but would like to own some bee hives if learn how to build the boxes and the rest of the items that goes on them. So please help me out!!!!

Sorry, only bee hive side bars on this video.

Soon.

Thanks for watching.

Lol. I use what ever is handy at the moment.

Ok. Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

Yup. Thanks. Your welcome.

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.

Your welcome.

I do.

Thank you.

Ty.

One day I’ll have a planer. 😁

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!

Awesome! Thank you!

I use what ever I can find. Even scrap wood I find in dumpsters. Bees don’t care.

Took a little time to figure out the details making jigs along the way. I write notes on the jigs if necessary. Not it’s just a matter of slapping on the jug for each step.

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 RU-vid so it appears under my channel "I'll Show You" and this is the first video I've ever made or published. Thanks again! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RB8bqv_-Jmo.html

Nice. I like it!

Your welcome.

Nice. I’d love to see a video.

It can be. Therapeutic. 😁

Yeah, I probably need a new set.

Nice. Your welcome.

Thank You.

Can you buy the blade in a pk with different sizes

Thanks you.

Nice. I’ll check it out. Haven’t made any frames in awhile now.

Soon. TY.

Sorry to read that. Thanks.

Depends. If you have the word already, the next question would be is it worth your time.

Yes, do the sides before the split cuts :-))

Great tips. Hopefully one day I can get a planer.

I disagree with that. I was taught as an apprentice how to make everything and it was my main job in winter, running and cutting and assembling frame stock, but It depends on how many hives you are running, big commercial guys simply don't have time to produce all the frame or super stock they need in winter or on cold miserable days, and some hobbyist beekeepers are only running one or two hives, I don't think they're dabbling in anything if they choose to buy stock rather than make it themselves.

Watch more videos. Thank you.

Your welcome Thank you

Thanks for the tip.

The details have rubbed off sorry. There are many sets available.

Thanks.

Maybe try contacting one of the big frame manufacturers like Mann Lake.

Standard blades.

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.

Thank you.

I don’t understand.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks!!!

I used a table saw, and miter saw.

Dado blade set.

Thank you. I’ve always wanted a planer.

Hopefully this channel can grow and support the purchase of more tools. For now, I’ll use what I have. Thanks for the tips.
