The solid top and bottom plastic kind of solves my questions about how to hold frames. I only have two hives, and only the older one has honey supers so I may only have 10 frames to spin. I might invert one 5 gallon pail on another and cut holes in the top to insert frames into a spinner like yours. I will have to think about it. J.
Brilliant design. Only thing i would of done different would be to use roller blade bearings at the top and bottom of the spindle.
I would go for spinning 8 frames.... that's awesome!

Very cool!
I think the frame holders could be made from a hard wood also , it’s a great idea, if it works to your liking that’s all that matters. 👍
Pretty cool
That’s bad ass
Did it work well? Any balance issues?
Yes it actually works pretty well. With how light it is there are some balance issues at first until the frames start to empty out.
