Cheap Stainless Steel Uncapping Tank

I have been looking for a stainless steel uncapping tank for a while. They were always out of my price range. I found this stainless steel free standing sink from Amazon that will work perfect as an uncapping tank. Please share this video if you find it useful.
Thanks, Vince

RIGHT ON Vincent! Love to see the Gerry rigging that performs professional! I'm impressed.

Take a 2 x 6 board, on each side, and sit the legs on them, mark the leg locations, and drill holes the diamater of the legs. Then raise the 2 x 6 boards up about 6 to 12 inches, and screw wood blocks from the botton to the floor, to hold them up. Next connect the 2 x 6's from one to the other with another board. This will take the wobble out of the legs, when uncapping,it made mine twice as strong. The entire project can be done with 20 minutes and one $4, 2 x 6 and 12 screws. This made a huge difference for me.

Thanks! Great Idea! More expensive now but I shopped around and found the same one $100 cheaper than Amazon

Sweet. The luck of the Irish was with you!

[@jmkubli]

Thank you thank you thank you! I was looking at that on Amazon wondering if it would work. The mann lake plastic bin is crap, the metal one is expensive and was looking at alternatives. I thought though that I would have to rig a support for the frames, but you just demonstrated it holds the frames perfectly!

[@vendter]

I hope it works out for you!

Nice!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!

Too cool! Thanks for sharing.

Would be easier to put a stainless steel grate in the bottom of the sink to catch most of the wax? And cloth over bucket to catch smaller pieces

[@dornkrull22]

great job--i wud like that with a flattened
v wire false bottom

[@jamesritchie8540]

Excellent...almost as good as a Maxant uncapping tank at 1/3 the price.....; )

[@gregoryscott5063]

great info thanks. 🐝😎

[@clemencecheeky1]

wow I want one but I'm in Canada!

[@vendter]

They won't ship to Canada?

[@jamesritchie8540]

The one you have....is it the 23.5" wide unit? thanks Jim

[@vendter]

Yes. I don't know how long Amazon will be selling it, but here is the link: tinyurl.com/yykpr6ax

[@sdichampion]

Of course no longer available

[@vendter]

That sucks. You'll have to look for a different model.

[@markmadison146]

How much was this sink and who did you order it from. Thanks.

[@vendter]

I believe it was about $150 and I found it on Amazon.

[@markmadison146]

Thanks so much for the reply. I will look into this. It looks perfect for my needs. Happy bee keeping and god bless!

[@brothyr]

Would it have been significantly cheaper to weld a box w/ drain and legs?

[@vendter]

Not for me.

[@ScreamingpigFT]

how many frames does it hold?

[@vendter]

8 the way I have it set up. Without the uncapping bracket I put in there you could probably fit in three more.

[@fayncscott]

I don't see the link

[@vendter]

Click the show more button.

[@zebra61]

Nice find! How about a link to the actual item on Amazon?

[@vendter]

I usually don't supply links because they change in about 6 months, then people get mad that the link doesn't work. A 5 second search on amazon will turn up the item, even if the link changes. If 5 seconds is too much to ask, here is the link for now: tinyurl.com/y9dngwhh
