I appreciate that you used real wood working techniques a jointery, good job.
Love seeing a woodworking video without a Festol or a $1500 jointer. Respect ✊
You can just tell you love woodworking. Thanks for this. 👍
Thank you for watching:)
Thanks for convincing me to buy my hive boxes
lol. Yes I made it because I wanted to do so, but it's definitely more logical to buy them if you are a beekeeper.
hahaha that is funny, lmao.
lol. why watching if you dont want yo put in the work.... you can do this from "scrap" wood. like pellets and stuff.... what will make it to practacly free.... money saved to buy the stuff you cant buildt easy
There's many ways to build a hive although personally I don't find with complicated for someone who knows basic carpentry I think alot would enjoy doing it themselves. Although it's definitely not for everyone.
same here
Excellent video. Felt like I was watching the whole day. I must have been picturing how long each step would take. 😂
Thank you. I am glad you've enjoyed it!
Good work, thank you for this
Thank you for watching and commenting my friend
Damn Son ! You do some fine work. Glad my Bees don't mind filling a few holes. lol
Thank you
While I would have approached this a bit differently, your ingenuity is outstanding. Thanks for posting, it's always great to see how to make things with what you have instead of what you can buy. I hope your bees are very happy in their new hive!
Thank you very much. I made this build for a friend beekeeper. It was really interesting process for me. I think the bee's are doing well at the moment. Perhaps I'll make a video someday after the hive stayed on the field for a few months!
This is just superb, I have been researching "make your own beehive box" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
Many thanks, I've been looking for "build beehive woodpile" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "step by step beehive construction" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.
hello friend, I want to have a beekeeping box like you have. because I'm also a beekeeper, but a traditional beekeeper from the province of Bengkulu, Indonesia. I'm glad to see your video, modern beekeeper
We're getting into luthier country here. Beautiful work.
There is always enough time in the day to flip to one of your videos and be instructed by an artisan thinker on how to make the near worthless valuable and worthwhile. Best regards and deepest thank you for all the time you spend doing this.
thank you very much man! :)
I never thought to use a circular saw and a jig to make the grab handle, a great idea and well made hive.
Taking me back to being a teen. we built 30 frames for 6 hives. love the resourcefulness!
+Wood By Wright awesome!
Thanks great music on this 👍👍
Wow.It's very good idea
Ωραίος όπως πάντα! Αψογη φουλειά.
+TheGxpana σε ευχαριστώ πολύ, να'σαι καλά
I think my uncle will like this . He is a backdoor man . He also raises chickens too .
Great work! I have all those tools and although I have just bought my first hive I shall be copying it for the other three I intend to make.
Awesome, good luck on your build
Haha! Nice i am only 12 years old and i am interesed in bees! i have 1 hive..
That's awesome, keep it up!
@@ScrapwoodCity 😊
When you trapped the wood between the saw blade and the fence at 6:22 in the video, it created a very dangerous situation. The wood can bind and shoot out the back at high speed. The scar on my belly is an indication I learned the hard way. Nice box, be careful. Great use of innovative solutions to achieve results.
thank you
Damn fine job making your hive bodies out of real wood. If you had a real good table saw you could make a sliding gizmo to cut those box joint cuts and a good dado set. But you have the right idea. I like the good old ways myself. Free lumber and boards can be had fairly easily. Glue and biscuits are cheap enough. Good tools are always an investment in a craftsman's shop. Better to buy tools than to pay for someone else's labor at a high price.
very good! thnks
Thx for sharing, ur work is Perfect.
thank you
I bought Cypress .
Pine won't cut it.
Hard work you did there.
enjoyed watching.
Thank you very much
Hand cut finger joints... you're a brave man.
Great project!!
+Awesome Wood Things thank you very much my friend
Pretty sweet! Every beekeeper has probably watched this.
Dear excellent demonstration. I loved it very much.
thank you
Really? I didnt learn anything.
احسنت لقد اتقن الصنعه شكراً لك على الإبداع والتصوير الجميل والجهد الكبير
Thank you very much
Wow a lot of work went into this! Great job!
+Into The Dirtshop thanks, it was more difficult than I imagined
@@ScrapwoodCity This happens to me too. 😂. Also picked up some timber for making a beehive. I think I will start with a jig for the finger joints. And do the frames with my scroll saw.
Artist 👍👍👍👍
Awesome project. Love the circular saw angle jig cut you did for the recessed handle holes.
+Nicholas Gomez thank you very much, glad you liked it
Using titles, or adding narration, or both would add a lot to your video for the viewer. A brief explanation of what part you're making, etc.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I have tried adding voice over, it was too much work for me and the reward was people's bad comments. So I stopped it. Nowadays I use titles if necessary. But I always have a link in the description leading to a blog article with more details on the build.
Super 🙏
Great job!
thank you
Fascinating to watch!
thank you
Ficou muito bom parabéns 🎊
Thank you
nicely done.. however you took a VERY SIMPLE process and made it incredibly complicated..
lol, I guess you could it much more easily! Thanks
Genius craftsman.....God bless you....aamin..
thank you very very much
Action Speaks Louder Than Words. 100% and more THANKS.
genius in the handles!
+john espin glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
The circular saw jig in action, great project Dimistris. Bees need us. :)
+Humus Workshop thank you very much my friend. Glad you liked it! Bees are awesome creatures!
Ωραία δουλειά φίλε Bravo! :)
+Make it Extreme σε ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου
Great job with fun background music!
thank you
Pretty cool. However, instead of all that long labor intensive dovetailing for the side, maybe make your own jig using Steve Ramsey's method to save yourself HOURS.
Nice job. How soon can you build me 10,000 just like it.
In about 10 years. Lol
Obviously a Union Worker - taking the longest and most inefficient route to make something that could have been done in 1/3 the time. Side-note biscuits don't make a stronger joint. But they do add material and cost, so another union move. :)
Obviously I did not followed the shortest path! I used biscuits for the glue up not for strength! I just have one question. What is a "Union Worker"! Sorry I am Greek and I am not familiar with the term!
He’s using the tools he has and he didn’t do a bad job, I learned a lot from watching this so I appreciate he took the time to make this for all of us, there’s always a judgmental nit pick that comes along, why don’t you tell him what he’s doing wrong and help the guy instead of labelling him a “union worker” whatever the fuck that means.
@@fluffyhead6377 Fluffy you may be illiterate you wrote "why don't you tell him what he's doing wrong and help the guy" um, that's exactly what I did. wow just wow lol
The Plain Truth You only pointed out what he is doing wrong you didn’t say what he should of done instead, nothing you said was actually helpful is the point I was trying to make.
kinda got the jist of it. got a perfect place in the woods. it's flourishing nicely will flowers, i'm attempting to craft some natural mead from pure honey, yeast, and maybe berries. recently got into glassblowing too, made some nice brown bottles with corks. wouldn't you like to bite off the top of a bottle and slam down a brew. you'd be a lot warmer and happier will a belly full of mead.
Rollerz leader no instructions etc and the crap music is boring..
Fantastic. I am now convinced. I will start saving up to buy a biscuit cutter, scroll saw, band saw, or planer, chisels glue, screws and ancillary equipment, probably a mortiser selection of clamps and workshop to house it all. Not forgetting to install electricity and a kettle so I can have a brew whilst waiting for the glue to dry. Or should I just buy a hive? Probably not as satisfying but ill go the second route. Great video though.
lol! This is a video mate, you don't have to reproduce it in real life. I just had the urge to make a hive just to study the way it's made. Every project is also a good excuse for me to share techniques through my videos! Of course buying one is a better solution, but making one is much more inspiring!
Why didn’t you use the saw table to cut your joints? Would have been much easier,great job by the way,love your use of the saw to cut the hand holds
you got yourself a subscriber .. good job there .
thank you
Bring on the honey !!
+The ShavingWood Workshop lol
Humans aren't evolved to consume honey nor is it healthy! quit being discourteous/impulsive! Me an my good friend build these for the sake of bees an the future for generations & so far we've made about 7 of them in about a few month time period.
Good idea for education
you are an artist brother.amazing.
thanks man
Amazing! You are very talented
thank you very much
Wow I'm thinking you've never heard of a router table. Could have saved a lot of time
true
great video--your wood skills are strong with the force
lol, thank you
👍отличный ролик!
Where there is a will there is a way.
I’d hate to do this with a hand saw though
Cool music! Nice to bee in the groove!
thank you
Interesting..
Thank you
like the music
Owning a circular table saw, you really tortured yourself doing those finger joints that way.
Nice build!
thank you
I am so jealous...wish I could build me a bee hive ... need need one asap....like to buy one pls
Nice project mate.
+Vasilis Papadopoulos (FS WoodWorking) thank you my friend
the handle jig was clever nice video i really enjoyed it
thank you
Very nice, you got the skills
thank you very much
5:22 thats so genius lol
yes, it's a smart jig. I also have a dedicated video on how to make it. The idea is not mine though, I borrowed it from beehive makers of you tube (links included to the video about the jig).
Thats awesome,got to check it out soon ,thanks for the fast reply.
Enjoyed watching, learned many tool gestures; thanks(now on to next video)...rr
thank you
Epic beehive! That handle jig is sweet!
+AdventuresInDIY thank you very much my friend
Magnificent to watch,.. but I wont be building that any time soon!
I used biscuits joints back in the day............ Today all you need is some good clamps and some good wood glue.
You too good for me can you please list the tools used please 👌👍
More info in the description of the video. There's a link that leads to a blog article with all the details!
боюсь даже представить сколько времени угрохает, чтобы хотя бы сделать десяток, к тому же многие вещи делает больно сложно можно проще и будет надежнее
very nice video,you are a professional 👍
thanks, but I am no way a pro. Still lot's of stuff to learn and skills to master!
Well done...but that looks like a lot of work...🐝🐝🐝
Well indeed it was! Thanks
The reason of bottom sliding plate ???
رؤؤعه
should I use treated or untreated wood?
Untreated.
Do you have a link, or know the name of the type of bottom board you made? One of my hives has that style of solid bottom with screen, but I apparently fail at teh googles and can't find plans, and didn't see any on your site. I've tried the other style and I don't like it. TIA.
I thought you were building a house. Thanks
I have a hammer and table saw and a jig saw
How to make a beehive...
Have fancy tools.. :(
wau amazing
actually saw your face a couple times! nice job
+Matt Diresta lol, thank you very much my friend
Hey anyone ever use insulation in beehives? Thinking about building one.
Very coool! also, nice to see that handle jig in use! :D
+Cactus! workshop thank you my friend, glad you liked it! It was more complicated than I thought! The jig does a good job!
Total number of tools needed to build this box is crazy.
You can simplify the build if you want, but still is quite complicated!
looks like a lot of work
and it is. It was an interesting build. I learned many things making it but I would not do it for more than two pieces.
How much were the materials? How many hours spent making one?
Lol time = money in the bee business. A lot of
Time for
Single box.
holy crap dude you are totally amazing! wanted to make beekeeping set up but after watching this... I may have to just buy one because I have absolutely no idea what most of the description means. ha 😝 one question though for if I do end up building a much simpler version... why did you do the interlocking sides instead of just nailing the flat edges of wood? hope the question makes sense.. I have no woodworking experience whatsoever
Thanks. It makes a much stronger joint. Since this things stays outside and you also might need to lift it up while being heavy (when the hive is full of honey).
what kind of plank do you use sir? I meat which tree.
I love your videos, but please change up the music from time to time.
lol, thank you
I love the loop....just get up and dance....you put a lot of time and effort into that box ....well done...
Scrap wood City Love the muzak !!
Do I have BO or something cause that loop was funky as anything, great watch keep it up, I hope you were wearing googles
I love music! What is the name
Proprio così..... Colla su colla che alle api piace
Would love to have made my own bee hive but I don’t have any fancy tools lol, I’m a girl, not what we usually save for 🙈😂 ..nice job!
lol, thanks
Good skill wood works. Thanks
I thank you
wow, I'm exhausted just watching! Bro, A for effort but seriously, do yourself and your bees a favor-find a standard Langstroth hive plan online and follow that next time you build a hive. Best of luck.
Thanks, I am not a beekeeper. I made this for the shake of building and gave to a friend beekeeper.
すさすや
Hey, biscuit-jointer, is that new? Don't remember seeing that before mate. As always nice work and really interesting vid - I really enjoy the 'rythm' at which you edit your vids. Looking forward to part B.
+Mark McCluney thank you very much my friend. I hope part B will come soon! Yeap the biscuit jointer is new and I really like it!
I enjoyed the build, but as a veteran beekeeper, I can tell you that your top has way too much space in it. Your bees will build burr comb all over it. If you want it for top ventilation, I'd suggest you cover the inside of it with #8 hardware cloth.
Thanks. I hope the beekeeper I gave it too, will let me see it after a year in the field. I think I will learn many things after that. Thanks for your suggestion I will do some research on it! :)
Look up "bee space". Usually it's about 3/8", any more than that and they will fill it with comb. I enjoyed your video though and really like your handhold jig. I need to build one of those.
I really should do a popsicle stick box.
