Built a frame jig today, which made assembly of 20 deep frames a breeze.  Took longer to build the jig than to glue and nail the frames!  LOL

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

Yes they do make it much easier. I have a 10 frame jig. I would like to update to a 20 framer also. Did you make this from scratch or did you find the plans somewhere?
Thanks,

That will definitely help in the future, Father.
I have just use an empty medium box with a piece of plywood under the inside of it to raise the frames up. Now I just use a short box. I also add 2 3/8 wood strips on the 2 short sides to force the frames to stay straight. It only does 10 frames at a time.
I bet I have made 3 to 4000 frames with them maybe more.

Made it from scratch, using a 1x6.
