- Welcome to our Channel. This is episode number 1. In this video, Paul makes hive frames from disused pallets. It's a great way to repurpose a product that would have ended up in a landfill.
HI Paul, as you say the time spent is more for keeping you active than saving, but I like your use of old pallets. I see so many thrown on skip bins or out the back of various businesses. One near me is a jet ski importer and they have a stack that provides plenty of different timber sizes, some in 2-3m lengths.
That’s great. Get into it. Thanks so much for watching.
Love your jig for making the holes in the sidebars. Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work!
Just found your channel and subscribed, looking forward to more footage, wanting to start bee keeping myself, thanks for the knowledge.
Thanks. More videos coming soon. We’ve been getting ready for spring. I could have videoed the preparation but it’s pointless without the story.
Thank you for sharing. I also make my own frames. At some point I'll get around to showing that on my channel. One thing you did, concerned me. At 14:00 you got your hands dangerously close to the blades. For small pieces please set up a couple feather boards - one pushing the piece against the fence and another pushing down. You can push the piece thru with the next piece. Also, never grab a piece on the back side of the blade until it is completely clear. If it binds it will pull your hand back into the blade before you know it happened.
Thanks Phil. The video angles make it look worse than it actually is. I had a severe accident on a table saw nearly 2 years ago now where the riving knife ripped out of the saw and imbedded in my chest very nearly puncturing my lung. Since then I went and did a safety course on table saws and I have watched every table saw safety video I could find. I have a few things I want to purchase. A grippy board and feather boards are on the list.
@@thankyouhoneybee6369 I tried to cut my thumb off on mine. Fortunately I had the blade set barely above the piece so I only needed a few stitches. Feather boards are very easy to make.
Nice 👍
You will find out soon enough that your tops will pull off of your sides when you pry up with a hive tool. The way to correct that is to use glue and to put a nail horizontal thru the side bar, angled up, into the top bar. Glue on the bottom rail generally holds ok.
First thing dad said to me after he watched it 😂 I pulled them apart, glued them and side nailed them also.
@@thankyouhoneybee6369 That's funny!
what kind of critters do you have over your head in the door frame. 44 second mark.
Mud wasps/ hornets. They make a mess. I just let them be until they hatch and then I clean them off. They can be a pain but corks tend to stop them from getting into the holes of my machinery. But then I forget to take the cork out and wonder why things won’t start.
Thanks bro i need box and frame sizes
One other thing, can you add some notes e.g. with drawings and/or dimensions?
Hi Dave. I will but I want to make sure wax fits before I do. I am in the Veroa red zone so I don’t want to keep any wax here or bring anything that has had bees on it here, so I left dads frame at his house. As soon as I do, I will make a PDF available.
@@thankyouhoneybee6369 OK, sorry to hear you're in the Red, same here. Could be a while before we can have bees again.
@@davewalmsley8883 I’d say a couple of years. I’m near Branxton so I’ve been looking at places that are about an hour and a half away. I want to put two hives about that far away. That way the hives can pay for the fuel to go look at them.
@@thankyouhoneybee6369 Thanks 🙏 Paul I was also wondering about the drawings and measurements of the bee hive and the frames. Great work and keep it up 👍
fram meciment plz
Hi Roshan, I haven't figured out how to post them on the page yet. When I do they will be for Australia though. So you will need to check if your country uses the same measurements. There are a lot of different sizes out there. Cheers Paul
