What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[Swarm]

Made a nice little cedar seven frame nuc.

That's pretty good. Mine never comes that close

My counter top fridge (warming cabinet) with a 75 watt tube heater thernostatically controlled to 45 degrees took the better part of 48 hours to melt a 30 lb bucket .. in fairness it was quicker melting set jars but as I only jar up as I sell and having invested in the Lidl jam maker it went to the tip. The jam maker is smaller to store and does a better, quicker, job. No brainer for me.

I have a bucket warming in the urn at 35C. It went in yesterday in the evening, it was set, I've just given it a thorough stirring to mix in the top bit and will run it into the decanting bucket later.

I use an old fridge with 2 40w tube heaters in the bottom, it can take 3 30lb buckets, controlled by a plug in inkbird controller to 42C a couple of days is usually fine. A second smart monitor (govee) also checks the temperature which is a bit lower in reality.
Inkbird do a wifi linked version so I can remotely change it to 30C ready to jar once melted.
