That’s awesome, thank you!
Do you have the plans for the cabinets on the sides?
Great cabinet I question to you is I’m a beginner. I would like to know if there’s any drawings for additional cabinet prints able to purchase information on building additional cabinet
Where can you get the plans for building this?
Curious what you charged or would charge for this? And where you’re at in the country.
I really don’t remember off the top of my head, but I think it was somewhere around $1,600. I’m in rural MS so the same work in most large cities and or other regions of the country could go for double or even more. It all depends on regional materials cost, regional cost of living and the ease or difficulty getting to and from the project site. You also have the supply and demand factor to equate into it as well. Hope this was more helpful than confusing.
Why don't you use just 1 piece of wood instead of tongue and groove?
You could do that with an exterior grade of plywood. That’s how my pallets are made. For single bottom boards, I like the smaller planks for a number of reasons. The narrow planks tend to have less noticeable deflection from cupping making them easier to work with. They also allow room for expansion and contraction within each expansion joint. It’s also a good way for me to use up materials that would otherwise be scraped.
How many hives do you have?
I’m somewhere around 50 at the moment.
What about wax moths getting in the comb before the bees?
I’ve never had an issue with them in the spring. The deeper into summer you get the more of an issue they become. I generally pull my traps down in early June.
How is guessing with a drill bit to find studs and putting 12 holes in the wall less guessing than with a stud finder?? Heck, you could even get some rare earth magnets and find other drywall screws in the wall to find your studs. Way less repair and a helluva lot less guess work than knocking on the wall and poking with a drill bit.
or at least find the studs before the vanity comes in and hid the holes behind the vanity itself...
Fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, do you somehow treat the wood ?
This is a great video. Well done and easy to follow instructions. Liked and subscribed.
Brilliant, particularly the methodical process and attention to detail.
Thank you!
What door slides do you use?
I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking. For doors I use a concealed Blum hinge with a 1/2” overlay. For drawers I typically use a full extension slides. I don’t see a lot of difference between the different brands on the market. I don’t recommend buying the soft close full extension slides that side mount as I’ve seen a high failure rate with them. If you want soft close I recommend you go with Blum bottom mounts.
Question for you. I am getting ready to build one myself. The plans use mostly 3/4" (0.75") plywood. Quality sanded plywood is sold in 23/32" (0.71875") Yes, this is a tiny difference. Did you need to adjust anything for that difference?
I do typically make minor adjustments to my cut ticket to compensate for the differences in material thickness.
That was impressive!
Thank you!
Quick question, I have an old house and want to stay true to the old style by having my doors & drawers flush to the box front. How does this change how they would be sized/mounted?
What type wood are you using?
I’m using Cypress in the video. I actually use Southern Yellow Pine for most of my hives though.
Good job
Thank you And thanks for watching!
The intro reminded me of Norm Abrams old show, "be sure to read, follow, and understand the safety rules of your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools safely will help reduce the risk of personal injury, and remember this, there is no greater safety rule than to wear these, safety glasses. Lol Nice job on your videos. Ive been watching them to learn to build hive boxes myself.
Glue, screw and staples? Isn't that overkill? 😊
I think A tracksaw would be A game changer for you in your shop. Not only would it save tons of time but you can also crosscut ply without it blowing out the edge like skill saws usually do.
I bought a track saw about a year ago, and I've hardly used my table saw since.
This is much easier than the plans on horizonal hives. Thank you!
You’re welcome Thanks for watching!
What kind of wood you used?
I’m using cypress in the video but I typically build out of Southern Yellow Pine for myself. Also, Eastern White Pine is a popular choice for many beekeepers. It has a lot to do with where you live and what’s most commonly available.
Do you have a video of building sloped bottom boards?
I don’t currently. I may try to draw one up and do a video in the Fall or early winter. That’s typically when I start building equipment.
If I have an 8 inch mattress will this accommodate it ? If not, how can I customize it to accommodate it ?
Yes, an 8” thick mattress will work perfectly fine. The mattress in this video was approximately 10-11” thick if I remember correctly.
Nice
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Do you find beehives to be a profitable venture from the woodworking side?
To be honest, not really. For me it’s a convenience rather than a savings. I typically build my lids and bottoms / pallets. I also run some 6 frame equipment and I build that as well. It’s really a time Vs savings thing.
I really don't know whether he's going to sell it or not, but I'd get Woody Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible before he decides. It has some good projects, others not so good, but it's something worth to go'ogle if you want some cool ideas.
Excelent video very calm explanation
Thank you
Well done videos and quality builds. You deserve more views! Subscribed. 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Could the kids be modified to clip down instead? I won’t want to have to have a drill when dealing with swarms.
Certainly. It would just take a little hardware from your local building supply.
A lot of information here. I would say the screws are unnecessary. The glue bond is stronger than the wood itself. The staples hold while the glue bonds. Screws are overkill without benefit.
I would agree with you if the wood wouldn't be stressed out. But this a box that will be receiving a lot of pressure from the hive tool when trying to get a frame out. Even with screws and glue you can sometimes separate the top part of the box.
سلام
Are you for real!!!!. talk about doing something the long way, guess those that have no skills at all will think this is great.Takes me less than 5 min to build a base, and I build 100's at a time. I found your video a little ridiculous. Guess you did your best.
Hey Michael, didn't your momma teach that when you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut? And since you are so fast and great at it, why don't you post yours? I bet you one thing though; they won't be as beautiful and exact as this one is!
Not trolling, but if you'd switch to Titebond III, it's waterproof. Thanks for the detailed video. Easy to understand and no fluff.
No worries! Your eyes did not deceive you. You did see me using Tightbond II early in the video. That was on the jigs I was building. Later on when I was assembling the hive boxes, I did switch over to Tightbond III. I apologize if I didn’t clarify making that switch in the video.
What is the reason for the large 1-3/8" box joint? I thought a box joint was typically the same as the stock thickness.
Most commercialy produced hives tend to use the larger box joints. The smaller 7/8” joints tend to be a little easier to set up and cut for most people who would like to build their own. I wanted to show several different options in this video so each individual could decide which construction method would suit them best. You are correct. In most woodworking projects, box joints are made to be the same as the material thickness. The reason for this is typically for the cosmetic appearance of the final product. Although common practice, this does not define what a box joint is. It can be either larger or smaller depending on the design aspects and or structural needs of the project. Thanks for the question. I hope this helps. Wes
A carpenter and a beekeeper! I knew I liked your channel. Nicely done.
Thank you! It gives the RUclips algorithm fits trying to figure out who to put each video in front of but it’s where we are. Glad you’re enjoying the channel and thanks for the comment.
Very informative! Good luck catching swarms this year!

Can I get the plans please ?

Sorry the last one was bottom boards. Try this www.southerncraftwood.com/post/building-beehive-boxes
Would 23/32 syp shealthing work with these plans? Frames should still fit im assuming, not sure would the wood in the weather though. from HD Model# 129323 StoreSKU# 166103
Yes, you should be fine. What you want to stay away from is interior grade plywood such as ply made for cabinets.
Love this short format summary of the project. Nice work! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video! Have you ever tried locking miter or lapped miter for hive construction?
I have never tried a miter of any kind on a hive box. Personally I like box joints because they equally distribute the lifting load across all four sides of the box. I would be interested in hearing feedback on boxes made with locking miters after a few years of use but I really don’t want to test that theory myself. I really believe that over the course of a year or two that they will fail.
Wonderful job. Lovely box.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I have two dado blades, a wobble and a stack, and both of then only go to 3/4". I really like the 7/8" box joints. is it possible to make the jig just as you show. and then make two cuts to equal 7/8 inch, and the move over and so on, or am I going to run into some trouble. Thanks really enjoyed the video.
Yes it is possible. It would be the same principle as the 1 3/8” box joint jig with a few different spacing adjustments. I haven’t done the math on it but you could do a 3/4” box joint and save the trouble of the extra pass at each finger. Also, I would recommend the stack dado over the wobble. The stack gives a flat cut all the way across the width of the cut where as the wobble will give a radius to the bottom of the cut. Hope this was helpful
I have done mine with rabbet joints but I am having the darndest time getting my boxes completely square and not have gaps on the horizontal edges.
A few things could be causing your troubles. If you rabbet joint is not cut square to the board or if the straight cut going into the rabbet is not cut square, this will directly affect how square your box is. This will cause your box to be racked somewhat sideways. The cut across the width of the board being cut slightly off square as well as boards having twist in them will generally make your box rock when sitting on a flat surface. I would suggest starting by checking the quality of your board. Then from there, I’d double check that your cuts are perfectly square. Best of luck Wes
Are you making the rabbets with a crosscut sled, or using the fence? If everything is off, maybe your blade isn’t parallel to the miter slots
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 yep the fence was off
@@brianw.520 glad it was just the fence. My job site saw is horrid like that, but I already have zero clearance plates for my dado stack so I have to triple check EVERY TIME I MOVE THE FENCE. I am talking measuring from the blade to the fence, then fence to miter slot across the blade to get the measurement. Then I have to check both ends of the fence and usually move one I have found one trick that sawstop owners use that actually works fairly well for some other fences is to half lock the fence then release, then lock. The half lock starts to engage the locking pawls and pulls the fence square with its rail. It doesn’t stop me from measuring repeatedly, but it has cut down the amount of adjustment to get the fence square
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 good advice! That's insane to have to check all that every time but I'm finding it's much easier to slowly check and get it right the first time vs. speedily perform something and have to correct a mistake
Very good to watch, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I'm curious, why not just use 8" boards on the bottom so that you have half as many seams on the bottom? Fewer coins, fewer dado's and a lot faster while still leaving room for expansion.
For me it’s a couple of reasons. The wider the board, the more cupped and twisted boards become an issue as far as getting them to slide into the dado. My other concern is the expansion and contraction of the boards themselves. These bottom boards are constantly experiencing changes in moisture content. Throughout the year they will grow and shrink multiple times. The smaller boards give me more opportunity to introduce more expansion joints to help allow for this movement.
