Not sure how long he been doing it, but he's heading for an accident one day ! Extra bit I didn't like, apart from previously mentioned ones, was clearing away at the back of the saw by reaching over, this is a good time for accidents, when you think the "cutting" is done. People, foolishly...

Thanks for that H, I thought that was to simple a solution, I nearly know where I'm going again. ! So if I fitted a honey valve to the pocket in the bottom of section C instead of the short stub that could be the storage tank. I could then use section A as the extractor, with a valve on the...

I have thought about a design and decided I don't know what I'm doing !! An extractor is normally 3 feet high, with storage space, I guess, so would be to high to place a tank under it ? My question is, what is the usual way to get honey transfered to the filtering storage tank, to allow...

Addition to last post, which shows outlet pocket for heating with gas, could fit a honey gate there nicely I think. This arrangement, cock up that is, really annoys me, especially at wash down time ! Two 3 kw immersion heater are fitted but these could be cut out as a square and grafted onto...

Thanks for the info Victor, know where I'm going now.........off to see my stainless supplier and then tig mate. :hurray: Below is a picture of the vessel I cut and shut into a stainless mash tun and 90 litre boiler for brewing. I have another vessel like this one,which I plan to cut and shut...

Like the tip about the staples. Wire must be available from somewhere at a sensible price. In my brewing life used to pay the local homebrew shop £32 for a 25 kilo bag of malt, found a supplier last week 20 miles away, exactly the same stuff for £19.50 formed a syndicate with a couple of...

Another first rate project. Is that one of Th**nes universal cages, that you have there? Wonder if you could post the dia of the rim and spokes material, which look the same to me ? I presume the diameter is 16 inches. I have to hand a 18 inch dia stainless vessel, which presumably would work...

Say Pete, where is this place, thought you meant big Ts, but theirs are £76 plus postage. Not worth making at £40 ? Anyone, Red, know what size stainless to use on the rim and spoke. Have got a roller and tig mate is up for it, so its down to materials costs. On a recent post I mentioned...

Just looked out the thread on this subject from a few months back, Have a look here and then noticed most here posted on that old thread, oh well might help someone. It the new toy a circular saw ? I worked out that the timber costs were 25% of the current frame price, but you do get a lot...

I " think " everyone on here is a trying to become a beekeeper, or is already 101% qualified !! :boxing_smiley: Its quite easy to make a decision when you have experience on a subject, but much harder when you have only read a lot of books or talked to a lot of people, "experienced beekeepers"...

I do my comb joints on a home brewed router table, milling and welding involved, with a Ryobi 3 HP unit under it, works for me, :) Can do pics if anyone is interested ? S

As others said, very nice job Red. The stainless work is especially good. Any chance of the drawings as HP mentioned or maybe a pic or two more especially the top drive / bearing arrangement ? There no point in me inventing the wheel again. bee-smillie I make my own home brewery equipment and...

Nice vernier Tony, and there's no "a" in that one . :) Good pic, at that size even I can read it. :cheers2:

"which happens to be the local word for Very near." Like it, but they certainly are near enough for woodworking. For measuring thickness and frame fits which need to be "varnier" they hit the spot. I think the" between jaws" measuring capability and instant reading, without squinting, to find...

Great post rae. Love the pics. I am a regular on a homebrew forum and on there they love a bit of "brew porn" Posters on here don't seem to go a lot on pics, will have to do some posts including "bee and DIY porn " to see if people can be encouraged. Someone once said a picture is worth a...

I use one of these when I want to measure to close limits. Have it in my pocket whenever in the workshop, much better than the traditional ones that need good eyesight. Quick flip from imperial to metric :hurray: Available for under a tenner bee-smillie S

Top post well worth five stars admin. Top video. I do like the look of that pic Gavin. I am building a few hives at the moment and that has really set me thinking. I build my floors to a similar design, but don't know why the porch is done the way it is, could be much simpler, as WBC ? Can...

Wouldn't buy it as fuel myself, find dry, rotten wood does it for me, plenty of it available for free, in lots of places. :hurray: I use workshop softwood shavings from under the planner get it going, though you can just light the wood if you want. bee-smillie Can't image that you could buy 2500...

My daughter is nothing like my bees, they are much better tempered, don't sting as much and cost far less to run. :)

All points fully appreciated HP, thanks for reply :) :cool: Yes, set up is the thing and one of those cheap digital verniers, (Aldi 8 quid) helps things out. Don't know how many a day you could make without set up time. :laughing-smiley-004 I have been making a few hives recently and have my...
