How to cut handles in bee hives

[@josephvogel7234]

This is the best solution I have seen! I almost feel like making more supers. Thanks for sharing.

[@jorgedenton]

Thank you for the two videos! I've been jotting down last minute instructions and am now headed out to see what kind of damage this rookie woodworker can do! Utah Beekeeper.

Nice work, one thing i like about the table saw it has a bigger blade than the circular saw and makes a little bit wider handle

[@chickenpow122]

This is the simplest set up I've seen so far.

[@XxBloggs]

Working in inches is archaic.

Love instructional video where the beer bottles are still on the saw.

[@TheGunarBenson]

I thought the same thing! This was obviously a two beer project ;)

[@TomaszKarczmarski]

hi can you confirm what sort of blade you used? was that dado? can you provide specs of blade? thanks in advance

[@randyvalley854]

+Rysio Wesolowski I used a standard 60 tooth blade. Hope that helps. Good Luck

Takes too long. I prefer hand holds versus finger holds

So do it yourself , go to woodprix page and learn how .

My husband uses these plans from Woodprix and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!

I've found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for everyone I think.

great great video. how far from the left edge of the "BEE BOARD" should one afix the left rail? In your next video you say to position the STOP ~12 inches from the blade, " to give 1 1/2" from the end". Did you mean to say 1 3/4" from the top of the handhold?

[@brucejordan8444]

Hands down the best solution I've seen. Great job!

[@michaelbrooks6095]

Thanks for posting such a helpful video. I have watched both of your videos on cutting handles and I found them very helpful toward making the jig. It now takes me about 30 seconds per handle and they look infinitely more professional. Keep up the good work and God bless.

[@greenbeehiveswarner3755]

There is no under cut at all that I can see. If you tilt the blade to 30 degrees, you will get an under cut of 15 degrees which is slip proof.

[@romaineathey6512]

Love your project. I made similar with Woodprix instructions.

[@brianlaferriere8622]

Still the best video and explanation online. Thanks

[@schroederb2007]

mmmm beer haha my two favorite things:beer and woodworking

[@allrightyallmighty]

Wow! so far the best method I've seen! Thank you

[@cotteeskid]

I much prefer this jig for moving the workpiece against the saw rather than alternatives I've seen using a Circular saw moving the saw against the workpiece. Just got to make sure you have the depth right - don't want the blade piercing the other side just as you had your hand over the cutting area.

[@valleysrawhoney8686]

FYI. U only cut a little bit at a time. Once my handles are 4.5" wide I quit.

[@sporkintheeye]

Thank you for this! I'm a relatively new wood worker and just starting with bees as well. This video was exactly what I needed to sort out the hand holds. I obviously had to change little things here and there to fit my old saw, but the basic design is yours.

[@randyvalley854]

Glad this was valuable to you. Good luck with your bees. It's the best hobby ever.

[@walterhicks9109]

great idea can I have a copy of the plans thanks Earl

[@randyvalley854]

Walter Hicks Walter, I have a hard time figuring out how to reply to people on youtube. You asked for my plans and I do not have any plans. I watched a couple of videos and then started from scratch and built it. I actually have a new one that now that is easier to setup. I leave on vacation tomorrow so I don't have time to take pictures and get you measurements. The thing is, your table saw would have to be the same size for the measurements to work. I will be back the end of January and will try to get something done then.

[@randyvalley854]

Walter. My email address is [e-mail]. I am never sure if I reply this way if it gets to the person. I do not have plans for this. From a youtube video I watched I found out that the front board in the jig is 3 1/2" with a 15 degree angle cut in it and the side boards are 14" long. The rest I made to fit the sides of my hive boxes. I have a new jig made now that I need to make a new video of. I am going to be out of town for the next 3 weeks so won't be able to do it until I get back. I will try to give more measurements this time.

[@randyvalley854]

Walter, let me know if you get this. My email address is: [e-mail]. I made another video named, "measurements of how to make jig to cut handles in bee hive boxes. See if that helps.

[@WILSON.1]

Fantastic!
