What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[deemann1]

Banged together a few nucs Saturday. All waste from work

That is some serious "banging"!

 

[Newbeeneil]

That is some serious "banging"!

Indeed, in a serious workshop! I’m jealous.

 

[blackcloud]

And a serious amount of "waste"

 

[Ian123]

I made a few of Jenks floors but I’m feeling rather inadequate compared to the big pile of nucs.

How annoying is it that your 1 short to finish that stack off

Are they the UFE floors that Laurence from BMH borrowed the design?

And it can't even be fixed by making a different number of stacks

Yes I’ve still got to mesh them add a rim although that’s strictly not necessary. I’ve also got a couple of lengths of Arris Rail that I’ll run through the chop saw and glue and pin to the rear corners. I’ve already got a couple of lengths and it’ll take seconds to do…. Still about another 20 to do though, I got the mesh at STB and for £4 per sheet it’s ok.

I've been fiddling with variants on the design and wondered about making the floor (solid or mesh) removeable so it's already set as a CBPV floor if needed. Also means treating with OA on solid floors is easier. Will test when I get my work area tidy enough to use. Yours look nicer than mine.

Yeah 31 being a prime number ....... and that's a big stack!

 

[Sutty]

Well you can have 31 "stacks" all the same height, but 1 stack would be impressive

I’m going to sit mine on a couple of blocks so it’s closed, I’ll simply vape into the floor with a small hole drilled in rear.

Mine get a 5cm rim so that I can vape above the OMF

Made up a "warming' super. Tube heater and computer fan with thermostat.

I'm going in now, 5 supers that have been cold stored in shed. .
I'm starting off at 30⁰c to see how I go. There's a little bit of crystallised honey that's dripped to the bottom of one of the supers where it must have been stored warm. So that'll be a good indication of it all starts running across the floor .
I'm guessing it should be ok in far less time than a bucket takes to warm.

Be careful, I made a double one of these using a small fan heater that blew warm air up one stack of supers and sucked it down the other. It warmed too quick and I had a load of runny honey and wax in the bottom!

I saw some geezer in the states use a golf tea to block the whole. Thought it a great idea, gonna try it on mine over the next few days then it's perfect size for the instantVap

That’s a good idea for holes in a brood box. Mine will be below the mesh in my floors though so not required.
