VERY NICE Les! Someone put a lot of thought into this nice set up! Is this what you now use?

That is a neat piece of equipment, I wonder what the price tag is like.

It is a nice unit. No, I wouldn?t get one myself or even make my own frames any more. Frames are so cheep to buy these days. It would cost me more to buy the timber to make the frames than to buy them outright. When I got into beekeeping I made about 400 frames from recycled timber but that was purely to keep initial costs down and for a bit of fun. These days, time is at a premium. If I kept making my own frames, time would be drawn away from other tasks or other hobbies which is not really an option in my case. What they don?t show in the video clip is the prep of the material before this machine is actually used. Ripping timber down for top, bottom and side bars and then docking that material to length takes a fair amount of time as well and is not considered. In saying that, it is still a compact and well designed bit of kit.

Youtube is now useless for me. They run a 30 minute ad that I can't skip before every video.

What kind of device are you on? I get ads on my iPhone but I don't use it to search youtube much so I haven't done anything but I have an adblocker on my laptop and don't have that problem.

Maybe 29 minutes... but yes, pretty much 30 minutes. Only on my desktop at home. Not on the computer hooked up to my TV. It just doesn't like me anymore.

I'm running Brave browser with an ad blocker on it. I think it's in the settings. If I can make it happen, anyone can, I'm as lost on tech as it gets.
