And there are many more uses for a compressor and stapler/nailgun than putting frames together.G Lawrencehttp://www.bigthicketbees.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-67327287202691055442012-02-01T16:24:11.992-05:002012-02-01T16:24:11.992-05:00Thank you for this!

I'm just getting started, and I've looked all over for directions on how to assemble the frames without a jig and withoutt an air-compressor-powered staple gun! I thought I was the only one who didn't just happen to have one laying around.Laughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851640040050149219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-3555328539914609902011-01-05T21:40:55.524-05:002011-01-05T21:40:55.524-05:00The Walter Kelley frame jig is definitely the way ...The Walter Kelley frame jig is definitely the way to go. But after nailing and gluing dozens of frames, even with the jig, and probably feeling my first hints of arthritis in my 40-something year old meat and potato hands, I think I will splurge next time and just order them pre-assembled the next time I need a batch of them. I have a feeling it is going to be worth the few extra cents per frame for me. I also tried the "paint some wax" on the guide in my foundationless frames. I got the kind that have the V-shaped bar at the top. It turns out that the V-shaped bar was all they needed and I really did not need to paint on any wax. If I was using the regular frames, I would definitely use the starter strips of wax foundation like you do or the popsicle stick method.Norm Simshttp://georgiabeekeeper.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-77559206812692613112009-01-12T19:11:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:11:00.000-05:00How many hives do u have?

I use a jig that puts together 10 at a time and they are much easier to nail. Walter Kelley sells them and they are worth their weight in gold for ease of use and time saving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
