What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[JamezF]

If you're using it for insulating crown boards you might even get away with leaving the plasterboard on.

dont see this often by me so asked and got enough for about 5 hives and a few nucs..just got to take the plaster board of some of it ..

I would not bother taking the plasterboard off ... you will need to seal the cut edges with aluminium foil tape so buy the 100mm wide one from Toolstation and cover the plasterboard surface as well... it will waterproof it and hold it all together. Lot easier than trying to take it off ...

I give to you, the Honey wagon...

Wonderful, gives a whole new meaning to the old "honey wagons" of the the past. How much do those timbers weigh?

 

[JamezF]

I love the idea, but I don't think I'd want to be using it to get up some of the hills around here

Not as much as it looks. It's mostly cedar beams I was given from a friend's gardening project, which are lightweight. The rest is pallet timber. I'd say 60% of the weight is the wood, the rest is the wheels.
Riding with no load on the back, at normal speed, you barely notice the trailer is there.

My out apiary is on a hill. Thankfully, not too steep.

Very clever Have you got suspension ?

There's air in the tyres. Does that count?

Good to see another cycling beek, I do though use electric EAPC's for towing my trailer.

My two EAPC's used for towing .

Looking great. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
I'll need to get used the width of the trailer. I'll be blocking traffic on these roads. Though thankfully the out apiary is only 1 mile away.

I like the idea of a trike and trailer ... this one floats my boat !

Knocked together a jig to mill the taper in side bars. Volume warning. table saw and dust collector running sorry. The dado blade is whats making that whining sound.

A very good way of doing it providing you got the dado blade! I make all my frames and made a jig to scallop that part out on my router table.

I did that with a router at first but its so loud and messy where this is much nicer and the waste is contained.

Threw together a heap of 2seconds SN4s, and wired them up.

I know they're seconds, but the difference in quality/workmanship was huge between the two suppliers I'd used- really quite surprising.

Some are seconds because they have knots, others are poorly milled.
