After getting through other stuff today I thought I’d push on with a few things in the workshop to try to clear a bit more space.
First up was turning some old frames from which I’d recovered the wax ages ago into foundationless frames. That was pretty trivial, but at least means the frames are now hanging in the roof of my bee shed ready to be used rather than cluttering up the workshop.
Then I took a pile of old top bars and cleaned the loose junk and “lumpy bits” off them so the wider part of the sides were relatively smooth.
And then paired them up, ready to be glued together.
Finally I spread glue on the wider sides and clamped them together as pairs, using some weights to stop the entire lot “bowing” upwards.
There are ten of these pairs and they’ll form the tops of my next set of ten insulated “fat” dummies, but for now they’re sitting in the workshop overnight whilst the glue dries.
