What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[Millet]

Put these supers together, all screwed through the top of the side wall down into the rails with Stainless Screws. Only another 10 to go!

That is a brilliant nice tidy and strong method of screwing boxes together, i may well copy you when i need to knock more up.

A lot of suppliers also make stainless screws with torque split heads not pozi or cross head - much securer grip on them as stainless burrs very easily. Been doing them like this for a few years now - much better and tidier method than screwing or nailing from the sides.
One screw in each corner (top and bottom) then one screw from the inside to the top and bottom rails.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I can't see any nails or screws in the side walls ?

You won't - screws go in from the top and through the tenons on the rails so you will only see them when you look straight down in 'plan view' then the ones holding the side panels to the rails are driven in from the sides - remind me one day and I'll chuck one in the back of the truck to show you.
Just remembered I have pictures -

I actually thought Redwood was taking the pish .. lol

I do them the same with screws through the joints top and bottom but I still put screws in the side boards that secures the front and rear panels which stops them bowing, also screws on the inside front and rear panels that secures them to the rails, perhaps it's me being a bit OTT

Something has also happened to the scottish forum as well.

I was talking to Gavin yesterday and he told me that the site had been taken offline for now as it had been compromised and was spewing out spam. Will be back as soon as its sorted.

Jammy!

Carried on with knocking a few more frames together in readiness for foundation which I'm collecting at the convention.
Found one bad top bar in a batch of 50 second quality frames. that will be about four now in the last couple of thousand!!

 

[madasafish]

Made up 8 lang super frames using my new Lidl nail gun.. Worked very well for £9.99. Super quick, no hammered fingers.

Ran out of the 100 brads included.. ordered 1000 extra last week. Only another 60 frames to go.

[Goran]

Made yesterday some shallow feeder rims for mnucs. I found out that ply rim would be OK ( and free, only couple screws and bit of glue..), and easy..

 

[deanrpwaacs]

Painted a poly super and made some more frames . Not much else i can do .

 

[8ace]

DNothing to do with bees finishing up new video cabinet just the drawer to make now fit doors and glass before the frame building season starts

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

after the convention yesterday, now got plenty of foundation so busily inserting it into the frames.

 

[madasafish]

Got more brads. Made 8 supers in 36 minutes...- a record for me.
