No problems with this assembly and very little wood needed to be skimmed off the bottom. I used an old butter knife to help get a clean 90 degree bend for the thin wire base foot. A very pleasant afternoon building the brood box and then frames for the brood & supers during lockdown.
Hmmm! No doubt this was well rehearsed beforehand. It's all very well as long as the bottom bars fit into the slots, I have had to shave quite a bit of wood off both sides of every single one of them, on 11 frames that's 44 sides to shave, took ages and when they eventually fitted in the slots the wax is almost impossible to slide down through the gap, so I had to fit one bottom bar and then put the wax in place and then pinch it together with the other bottom bar. So Thornes, my point is perhaps you should make a video on a frame that comes straight out of a packet and what to do when things don't go according to plan. Other than that, I like your stuff!
Very nice frames.

Not to mention the pins coming though the top bar when pinning through the wax loops
Not the best way really. Always a nail on opposite sides. 2nd bottom bar goes in after wax sheet secured.
