I have already scavenged the Timber windows and extra wide door ( just in case I go over to Langstroths!)... and I have the roof slates... came off Dartmoor Prison from a beekeepering contact in Princetown!

I think you need to get some sugar syrup down your neck to get you building a bit quicker..

Do use push sticks..

Do use push sticks..

Don't worry i will do just that, i used to work with a old fellow many moons ago that cut his full thumb and finger of in a bad accident using one, he got them reattached but he had limited use out of them and they looked like crabs claws, i'm not a fan of such accidents and to top it of i don't like hospitals..

Finally got round to fitting the metal frame runners in the 14x12 brood boxes I have made (Thornes metal runners are so much better the other I used), also made up 10 frames but didn't fit the wax, all ready to move some hive from National Brood boxes. Just got to get frame building now - only another 60 to go! lol

Well, not exactly in my workshop, but I took a run over to Chester to buy a new fruit press at a really good price - intending to use it for our apples and for getting out all that residue honey hiding in cappings etc.

When I got back home and unpacked it, I found out that it didn't contain a 'crank rod' for the screw, despite the fact I'd been told it was inside.
The guy offered to refund a bit when I rang him up, but I couldn't be arsed.

It's not the end of the world - but I do hate being taken for a ride. Hurts my pride!

You'll probably end up using one longer than the one provided.....that's what I did but then I'm not very strong!

I'm sure you'll find a redundant crosier around somewhere

They'll never give me the purple!
The face never really fitted in the establishment.
Didn't go to the right school or theological college.
Upset too many people.

Still it gives me ideas about what to do with the fruit press!

Fits with what I discovered in the commercial world ...

If you can't do it, teach it, if you can't teach it manage it, if you can't manage it - become a consultant !

One must practice what one teaches
