Free-handing that 3/8s line along the edge was brutally impressive. I say brutally because It was a reminder of just how much better of a woodworker this guy is than myself! Wow! I subscribed. Great video!

[CAW]

Awesome video. You scared the hell out of me when you placed your hand above the dado blade and pushed the board down onto the handle jig! If you ever miscalculate the depth of your blade it will be a very bad day. Thanks again for the video!

Thank you. This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen. You clearly explained the tools, the measurements, the jigs. I am just learning woodworking and bee keeping. Thanks again

[JohnKnight-vj]

Thank you for this well thought out and produced instructional video. It was clear and concise. In addition, I was very please to see that your PDF's included measurements for 5, 8, and 10 frame hives. Fantastic. This will be my winter woodworking project in anticipation of my bees arriving in the spring. THANKS AGAIN for an excellent video.

[TruFrag]

Thank you for the very good instructional video.
Glue = money. Every Drop matters. If you are brushing it on, you can get complete coverage without wasting half of what you put on. -.-

Just came across your videos, great job putting them together. I am a wood worker and have a friend wanting more traps and hive boxes. I know how to make sawdust but not honey. Your downloads will be a great help and keeps me from reverse engineering what she already has. Thank you for sharing. I have subscribed and look forward to anything you post.
