Building 4 more beehive brood boxes.
Each side panel consists of 2 planks joined with dowels.
This is a long side and gets 7 dowels.
The dowels are drilled one from each side giving a stronger join.
The Hegner Polycut is used to cut out the entrance and also the box joints.
But, I think the saw needs a new blade ……..
Box entrance cut out
Box joints cut out on the front panel.
I did try make a box joint jig for the table saw, dismal failure.
It is quite fast cutting on the Hegner and requires very little sanding for the fit.
