I came to the same conclusions not long.after starting beekeeping. I'm not much of a woodworker and enjoy having fingers😅. I used to assemble frames and boxes from the supply houses but now (as I approach mid 70s) ordering them already assembled gets more tempting every year. Happy New Year. Enjoy the winter/spring weather. Pretty sure bees shouldn't be flying in NE Indiana last week of December. Guess I'd better look for sugar on sale. Glenn
I'm building all my boxes, frames, bottoms, lids, etc. Not for the savings but for the enjoyment. Up to 55 colonies and I am starting to see limits of my ability to keep up.

I make everything except frames. All the wood is recycled. It help in a site carpenter and timber off cuts are free and plentiful
