I like his board for making the angled cuts on the bars, too. I can see something like that making a very helpful jig for cutting follower boards, too (with a different angle set on it, of course).Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965401314478095790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-58822855341957999422016-02-01T13:21:02.824-05:002016-02-01T13:21:02.824-05:00Pretty sweet set-up.

That seems really useful.Erikhttps://beeswitheeb.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-15671840335627278862016-01-31T14:20:37.760-05:002016-01-31T14:20:37.760-05:00That's awesome that Duncan's dad is a carp...That's awesome that Duncan's dad is a carpenter! If he's the sharing type, I would totally ask to borrow his tools. Now that his son is into bees, he might even want to work on hives himself -- TBHs are great parent/child projects since they're simple and easy to make. Good luck!<br />Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965401314478095790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-29069918173547755402016-01-31T10:05:35.043-05:002016-01-31T10:05:35.043-05:00I forgot to say I inherited one of those lumber ro...I forgot to say I inherited one of those lumber rollers from my neighbor when he died last year. I'm really looking forward to using this year when making nucs and hives. The patio chair I was using was just a tad higher than the table saw and would occasionally snag on the board. Having the right tools makes all the difference! Yes, please send pictures! I can use all the help I can get!<br /><br />Duncan's dad is a carpenter and I've been reluctant to ask to use his tools, but he seems more interested in the bees this year, so maybe I'll hit him up for mass production of equipment! <br />Donhttp://www.buddhaandthebees.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-44883335679541148952016-01-31T09:58:07.005-05:002016-01-31T09:58:07.005-05:00LOL!

But he has been collecting equipment (including tools that belonged to his father and grandfather) for years. He also had a business that required him to have a professional workshop. <br /><br />I'll try to remember to email you some other photos I took. K showed me a sled that he made for using with the table saw. It holds boards in place so that it they are much better supported and stay perfectly in place while you push them through. I struggle sometimes with long boards, so I think I'm going to make one to help me with them. You might like a gadget like that yourself.Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965401314478095790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-51966896470232473012016-01-31T09:32:04.431-05:002016-01-31T09:32:04.431-05:00Wow, what a treat for you to have such a shop to e...Wow, what a treat for you to have such a shop to explore. Seems like less chance of losing a finger, but quite an investment in equipment that's beyond me for now. Since I only have a table saw, I appreciate your other post on how to make them with that! But, it makes me think I might have to go out and get myself a doohickey!Donhttp://www.buddhaandthebees.netnoreply@blogger.com
