I finished my first self assembly hive following your super helpful videos. For my second hive I timed myself for the last two supers and managed complete assembly in under 30 minutes each - much better than the two hours it took me the first time.
Hmm, so the bevelled locking bar goes at the bottom but when he is hammering the inside wall to be flush he says he is hammering down, but he is hammering away from the bevelled end. At the start he says that the inside walls are generally made to be flush with the bottom locking bar. Confusing. Admittedly the video cuts to a closeup when hammering the inside wall so maybe he flipped it over :)
The instructions for a budget super suggest that the top of the castellations should be level with the top of the outside walls but that does not seem to be the case in the video. How should the castellations end up?
I am sorry. We have had comments that the videos are too slow! You should be able to pause each stage to make sure the assembly is correct. Any queries please let me know and thank you for the feedback.

Fantastic Videos. Great to see them being assembled especially from a beginners point of view

No the top of the castellations should be flush with the top of the outer wall. I thought the video showed this but I will double check
Hi Where is the video that shows assembly for All the part of the National Hive, rather than just the Super?
We have a playlist called National HIve. That shows all the videos you should need. th-cam.com/play/PL0-QPcd4vEpkUzkjoRMbipARlwDRwXZxy.html
sweet bling!
did not find this helpful at all. if he had taken it slower then showed each stage it would have helped.
