    Easily the most comprehensive and detailed instructions I've found on the internet. Also looks fairly straight forward for the "non-woodworker" (me) to be able to complete. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make it a simple project.

    I like the overall design of the Langstroth Long Hive. I like the idea of having a pitched roof vs a flat roof. I have used the traditional Langstroth hives, but as I get older it is harder for me to lift those deep boxes, especially when they are full of honey. The design shows me that Doug put a lot of thought into the long hive.

    I'm glad to see your shop is in as much disarray as mine. Lol. I really like the concept of the long box.
    I'm a retired heavy duty diesel mechanic turned carpenter and I've built several of the vertical boxes that turned out pretty good. I'll be using a dado set up for the cuts on the long pieces. I like to use rabbit
    cuts when I do them right. Your demeanor is great and entertaining.

    If you can force some room into your budget to install some solar panels on your workshop, and use them to power a split unit heat/AC unit, it will pay for itself very shortly, and you will very quickly appreciate the investment. You'll be comfortable all year long in your shop. If you can install a large enough battery bank, you might even be able to power some of your tools as well. VERY COOL PROJECT, and GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

    Make a tall jig that fits over the fence to run tall boards through the saw safely.
    I see these cuts all the time and while I'm glad people achieve their cuts without injury, I'm always thinking "YIKES!" when I see these risky cuts being made.
    I will say at least you used your "shoe" to help run it through. Most people I see use their other hand!

    • @HisWayHomestead
      @HisWayHomestead  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t do it that often and it’s harder to make a big like that for the delta unifence. The other style fence is much easier to make those kind of jigs
